Nick Baker’s fascination with the natural world began at an early age, inspired by Gerald and Lee Durrell’s classic book The Amateur Naturalist. He has presented a number of wildlife programmes including The Really Wild Show, Nick Baker's Under the Skin, Weird Creatures with Nick Baker and more recently Autumn Watch. He has also written a number of well-received books, including The New Amateur Naturalist and The RSPB Nature Tracker’s Handbook. He lives in Devon and is Vice President of Buglife.
His new book The Complete Naturalist is an up-to-date, practical introduction to observing, understanding and investigating the natural world around us. Whether you want to understand what makes an insect an insect, rear a family of frogs for your garden pond, or record bird songs and calls, Nick can give you all the advice and information you need.
It will be published by Bloomsbury on 21st May priced £25 (ebook £21.99) and we have five copies to give away to people who post questions on the thread. So whatever you would like to ask Nick about his work, wildlife or nature in general, now's the time to do it. We will be sending the questions over to him in a couple of weeks.
