Author Biography
Richard Jones is a freelance writer specialising in natural history, ecology and the countryside. He has written for many wildlife and gardening publications and is an advisor to BBC Wildlife Magazine. He is a past president of the British Entomological and Natural History Society. When he moved into his house in London in 1999, the garden was a bleak expanse of concrete and close-mown grass. It is now a cool oasis for his family and for an ever-changing mix of wildlife, big and small. And there is a pond.
