"Thoughts, musings, meditations, ideas, events, wonderings, happenings, occasions and anything else that I have a mind to write about."



With these words Mike Trubridge began the first of his journals in May 1975 on the island of Anglesey. Over the next four years he produced three more journals, which he has now incorporated into his first book.



This book is based on the early journals of a young ecologist and birdwatcher as he enters the world of nature conservation in the mid 1970s. At times it is both light-hearted and serious, witty and sad, as well as being liberally interspersed with colourful and profane language, which may not be to everyone's taste.
