Full Description
Hidden within the hustle and bustle of Dublin city is a secret world of wildlife. From otters and kingfishers in the rivers to porpoises and jellyfish in the bay, and from peregrine falcons swooping above us to pyramidal orchids by the roadside, Wild Dublin explores the surprising natural wonders of our capital.
In her much-loved style, wildlife expert Éanna Ní Lamhna looks to the skies, parks, gardens, wetlands, rivers, canals and coastline to showcase Dublin's biodiversity in all its glory.
Beautifully illustrated throughout with over two hundred photographs, drawings and maps.
