Chantal Lyons, Groundbreakers: The Return of Britain's Wild Boar

 Lots of personal experience and investigations into the Wild Boar of England from the author, who lives in the Forest of Dean and is a big fan of boar. The book manages to be very even-handed though, seeing both sides and appreciating that these very cool creatures do affect their environment and the surrounding community in negative ways as well as positive ones. I'm still a fan of managed rewilding, paradoxical though it is, but it's easy to say that when you're not a farmer worried about his livestock. After a very damp and cold spring, summer finally seems to have arrived, luckily just in time for a cub camp this weekend. William and I are off to B2B at Polyapes, I hope he has a fantastic time.
