About the Author

Natalie Lawrence, now 16, first became interested in the natural world in early childhood. As well as natural history, she also greatly enjoys creative writing, photography and art, and finds that most of her inspiration is drawn from nature. She wrote a first draft of this book as a project on the Birds of Hampstead Heath at the age of 14, which won her the Kate Springett Prize. She lives in West Hampstead, North-West London, with her parents, younger sister and four cats.
