The Invisible Wild

Tracking, sign and bird language

Who has been here?

A garden mystery to solve: follow tracks, signs and bird alarms, from tuning in your senses to telling the story of who has been here.

Become a tracker: read tracks, scat, feeding signs and bird alarms, and turn clues into the story of who visited your garden.

Coming soon. Jay is giving this book and its activity guides a final proofread before they go on sale as downloads. Ask to be told when they're ready.

Safety first. Outdoor activities carry real risks. Each activity guide has safety notes, but you are responsible for yourself and anyone in your care. Supervise children, get permission, never eat anything you cannot identify with certainty, and only light fires where it is allowed and safe.
