Bird Cottage

Product Information

The subject matter intrigued me as I had never heard of this woman Len Howard who had made a radical decision to leave her position as a violinist in London and move to remote spot in Sussex where she could devote her life to studying birds. I am a 19-year-old prominent British-Bangladeshi ornithologist, environmentalist, diversity activist as well as an author, speaker and broadcaster. With plenty of comfortable seating, this shared space is tastefully decorated with local seaside finds and benefits from a Smart TV. From her new home, she found the peace, and the avian subjects, which she needed to author two bestselling bird books.

Len’s love of birds is fostered by her charismatic poet father, a man unable to see an injured bird without rescuing and nurturing it. A perfect place for a good night’s sleep, this spacious and elegant double aspect room has a super king zip and link bed so you can be set up as a twin on request.But as the book progressed, and the reasons for – and consequences of – her decision played out on the page, it became more interesting than I could have hoped. Bits of time, memories, and learning experiences are woven together from filaments that make a textured tapestry.

Howard thought captivity influenced birds’ behaviour and wanted to study them in an environment of freedom and trust.

Meijer shows this descent as inevitable and logical but handles it delicately: we are in Len’s head, and can see where she’s coming from. Yet the birds will perch on her shoulder, and she knows an intimacy with them she never experiences with another human. The two books that Howard wrote about the birds became bestsellers and were translated into many languages.Because large or small, brown, patterned or jewelled, there is something about birds that makes us, even for just moments at a time, lift our eyes away from our lives and up to the skies. Take a scenic walk or hike anywhere within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths region which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and you’ll be rewarded with some breath-taking views and wonderful photo opportunities.
