Read: Lone Wolf by Adam Weymouth ★★★★★ 📚
In 2023 there were sixteen fatal dog attacks in the UK alone, not to mention the approximately 15,000 sheep killed by dogs off the leash each year.
In 2022 The author follows the 2012, 1200 mile journey of a radio collared wolf from Slovenia to Italy. The book covers a lot of ground too, climate change, human migration, politics & the natural history, conservation & controversy of wolves in Europe.
Blustery and bright. Along the Kelvin, Dalsholm to the Vet School. River high & brown. Butterflies: a few ringlets & whites, a tortoiseshell. A few dippers & finally a kingfisher circled the ‘dog pool’ near Dalsholm. Bright agains the river. Lots of Flowers.
