  • More about Goshawk Summer: The Diary of an Extraordinary Season in the Forest


A wildlife cameraman was commissioned to film a family of goshawks in the New Forest in early 2020. Lockdown meant no more cars, planes, or people in the woods, but James was there to capture the birdsong and new life. He witnessed tumbling fox cubs, calling curlews, and soaring goshawks, shining like fire through one of the darkest times. This is a beautiful and deeply evocative hymn to love, hope, and connection.

"Wonderful... they don't come much more expert than James Aldred."


James Aldred Lauren Laverne


What happens to nature when we are no longer there?


In early 2020, wildlife cameraman James Aldred was commissioned to film the lives of a family of goshawks in the New Forest.


Then lockdown. No more cars, no more airplanes, no one in the woods - except James - in a place empty of people but filled with birdsong and new life.


In these silver nights and golden days, there were tumbling fox cubs, calling curlew, and, of course, the soaring goshawks - shining like fire through one of our darkest times.


A goshawk summer unlike any other; an extraordinary season in the forest.


"Magical and transporting... a beautiful and deeply evocative hymn to love, hope, and connection."


HELEN MACDONALD, author of H is for Hawk


"[An] entrancing, acutely observed, beautifully paced diary of the secretive raptors breeding season... Fascinating."
