It is the natural scene: the beauty of northern winter drawn, the blazing sunset sky reflected across the quiet firth at evening, the silent majesty of a night of stars with the faint, unearthly cries of wildfowl moving on their mysterious journeying, which means so much". ('BB', 1953). "When Dark Estuary appeared as a successor to Tide's Ending, it was still possible to meet no other gunner on the sea walls of Britain, save perhaps a local fowler. It is a little-known world, the world of tideways where the sea first meets the flat lands of marsh and ooze. It is the private kingdom of the tideline birds, from the little waders which are the most graceful and dainty of all our British birds to the stately wild geese. .If the time should ever come when there is no more true wildfowling around the coasts of Britain, 'BB' hopes that this book - and its companion Tide's Ending - will stand as some sort of memorial and a record of what wildfowling was all about." .…

Hardback. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good Plus. New Edition. 2000. New edition. xii, 164pp., a colour frontispiece and black and white chapter heading illustrations by Denys Watkins-Pitchford (1905-1990), the British naturalist, illustrator, writer and children's author who is also known as 'BB'. In this book he writes of his adventures with his gun and dogs on the salt marshes of the east coast, the remote estuaries of the highlands and about the techniques and weapons of a wild fowler. He tells in detail of the perils of wildfowling, of his experiences of being trapped in quicksand and mud, of being cut off by the tide. In essence this is a shooting book, but it is also one of love for the natural world, and of comradeship and freindship in wild and remote places. The book is bound in the original light brown boards with gold titling on the spine and front board. The case of the book is in excellent condition with light bumping to the top of the spine and top front corner. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The unclipped dustwrapper is also very good with light shelf wear and bumping to the spine ends and top front corner. D.J. Watkins-Pitchford ['BB'] (illustrator).…
