Start planning your spectacular year with the help of this practical guide to the UK's most magical natural phenomena. This guide shows you when and where to go, and how to maximise your chances of a sighting, as well as explaining why these amazing spectacles occur in the first place.

Sections cover:

Space: meteor showers, eclipses and supermoons, Northern Lights
Weather: hidden currents, mountain waves, named winds
Tides: tidal bores, tidal races, low tide walks
Land: autumn colours, wildflower displays, rutting deer
Rivers and lakes: salmon runs, sunken villages, waterfall wonders
Coast: wheeling waterbirds, seabird cities, seal pups

Each spectacle is graded according to how easy it is to spot, and the author gives expert tips on achieving the best sighting. Scientific insights describe the astronomical, meteorological and ecological causes of events, which are brought to life through the stories of the people who know them best, from the glider pilots who ride mountain waves to the King's Guides who help people navigate the dangerous sands of Morecombe Bay.

This is your starting point for some truly phenomenal adventures.
