Description: The Cuckoo’s Lea is a beautiful exploration of how birds are entwined with British history, particularly in our place names. Following these place names, Michael J Warren weaves together literature, history and ornithology to discover a fascinating heritage that matters deeply now when so many places and their birds are threatened or already gone. Michael J Warren is honorary fellow at Birkbeck College, University of London, and chair of New Networks for Nature. He is the author of Birds in Medieval English Poetry (2018), and is currently at work on a nature-writing book about birds and place.
