@drmjwarren.bsky.socialAn amazing day as a shortlisted @wainwrightprize.bsky.social author 2026 at one of my favourite places in Kent—the Isle of Sheppey (it features first thing in the Prologue to my forthcoming book, Hibernal!) #naturewriting
@wainwrightprize.bsky.socialReposted by @drmjwarren.bsky.socialIt was great to chat with @drmjwarren.bsky.social, author of ‘The Cuckoo's Lea ’.
Shortlisted for this year’s #WainwrightPrize for Nature Writing, the book traces the lost connections between English place names and the species of birds that used to occupy these locations.
@drmjwarren.bsky.socialThank you very much for saying so Ian. My day is made! ☺️

@wainwrightprize.bsky.socialReposted by @drmjwarren.bsky.social@pierstorday.bsky.social takes us into the woods of Hampstead Heath to reflect on the inspiration behind Tree Thing. His story follows a boy who plants an acorn that grows into a magical tree, and the connection they form when the tree is threatened. @quercusbooks.bsky.social
@wainwrightprize.bsky.socialReposted by @drmjwarren.bsky.socialCathy Fisher reflects on the real story behind The Summer Puppy.

@wainwrightprize.bsky.socialReposted by @drmjwarren.bsky.socialIt’s just 9 days to go until we announce the 2026 Wainwright Prize winners at Elmley Nature Reserve! Set across 3,300 acres of wild coastal marshland & one of the UK’s leading landscape-scale conservation projects, we caught up with some of the team to learn a little more.
@wainwrightprize.bsky.socialReposted by @drmjwarren.bsky.socialHannah Gold takes us behind the research that inspired The Lone Husky. Through the book's snowy landscapes and moments of stillness, Hannah hopes to convey the beauty of a place that has so much to give us, allowing the landscape to speak for itself. @harpercollins.bsky.social

@drmjwarren.bsky.social@dailymail.co.uk has done it again. Another superb piece of journalism riddled with cringing bias, inaccuracies, contextless info … (Botham’s your expert?!) The concern is that there are readers out there believing this shite: www.dailymail.com/news/article.... #Rewilding
