One of Britain's rarest and most evocative habitats, saltmarsh can also be an exceptional place to see a rich variety of specialist wildlife. Winter cheer arrives from the Arctic with flocks of migrant geese, seas of pink Thrift grade into a purple haze of sea-lavenders as spring rolls into summer, and in autumn the marsh glows crimson with the dying glory of glassworts while flocks of migrating waders can be seen scouring the high tideline. These are dynamic ecosystems that move across the landscape, keeping pace with tides and global processes, and this accessible and engaging account of Britain's most inspiring and exceptional marshes celebrates their history, diverse character and intricate relationship with people.
