"Ian Alcock's A Hill Farmer's Year takes us from his new year - March, as the winter winds to an end - through a year's work on the hills. November is the breeding season for ewes, the time for rowan, whitebeam and elderberries, and a chance for foxes and rooks to feast on wild cherries or geans. Illustrated with watercolours, this will make a good fireside read when it gets too cold to go out and see the real thing." The author farms in Aberdeenshire and is a well-known authority on deer.
