James Aldred's lockdown diary of his summer in the New Forest, featuring a stunning new linocut cover by illustrator Nick Hayes, has been awarded the 2022 Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing. The diary is a beautiful and inspirational tale set in an extraordinary time. Wildlife cameraman James Aldred was commissioned to film the lives of a family of goshawks in the New Forest in early 2020. 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 curlews, 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
