  • More about Shearwater: A Bird, an Ocean, and a Long Way Home


Shearwater is a luminous portrait of a magical seabird that spans the watery globe, written by Horatio Clare and Roger Morgan-Grenville. It combines memoir and natural history, tracing the author's 50-year obsession with the bird and the inspirational influence of his Hebridean grandmother.

Format: Hardback
Length: 304 pages
Publication date: 08 April 2021
Publisher: Icon Books Ltd


Shearwater is sheer delight, a luminous portrait of a magical seabird that spans the watery globe. The Daily Mail praises it as "charming and impassioned," a rich tribute to an extraordinary bird. Horatio Clare, author of A Single Swallow and Heavy Light, describes it as "a very personal mix of memoir and natural history." The author of Liquid Gold, a book that ignites joy and warmth, unpicks the science behind its incredible journey and threads the inspirational influence of his Hebridean grandmother, who instilled in him a love of wild places and wild animals.

Full of lightly-worn knowledge, acute human observation, and self-deprecating humor, Shearwater brings to life a truly mysterious and charismatic bird. The book is a testament to the author's 50-year obsession with this remarkable creature and his deep connection to the natural world. It is a must-read for anyone who loves nature, adventure, and the wonders of the animal kingdom.
