Home Nick Penny is a musician, composer, writer and wildlife recordist Call of the Kingfisher, his first book of nature writing, will be published by Bradt in July 2023 “Written with a musician’s ear, this is an insightful, lyrical book about what can be seen and heard when we approach nature with patience and curiosity. It celebrates people who have used that focus to help preserve wildlife and pass on their knowledge to future generations. Above all, Call of the Kingfisher is an invitation to appreciate the beauty of nature, even in the most ordinary places, and to use our ears as much as our eyes when we experience the natural world.”
