Summary
In early 2020, wildlife cameraman James Aldred was commissioned to film the lives of a family of Goshawks in the New Forest, his childhood home. He began to plan a treetop hide in a remote site that would allow him to film the Gos nest, the newly hatched chicks and the lives of these elusive and enchanting birds.
Then lockdown. And as the world retreated, something remarkable happened. The noise of our everyday stilled. No more cars, no more off-roaders, no more airplanes roaring in the skies, no one in the Goshawk woods–except James.
At this unique moment, James was granted a once in a lifetime opportunity to keep filming. And so, over Spring and into Summer, he began to record his experiences in a place empty of people but filled with birdsong and new life.
Amidst the fragility and the fear, there was silver moonlight, tumbling fox cubs, calling curlew and, of course, the soaring Goshawks–shining like fire through one of our darkest times. A Goshawk summer unlike any other.

Unlistenable
Brilliant nature writings as with James’s other work but the the narration is the worst I’ve heard on audible. I’ve tried 10 or so times but I find the voice too insufferable. I ended up buying a hard copy instead!

Poetic yet cranky
The author describes the goshawk and the landscape and fauna of its New Forest habitat with love and poetry. This is leavened with comic, tragic and cranky descriptions of our response to the Covid pandemic. A worthy addition to the cannon of lockdown nature diaries.
