The first of its kind published for decades, Ramsey Island provides an upto-date account of this internationally significant wildlife sanctuary for animal conservation, run by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.   Ffion serves as our guide on this beautifully photographed tour of the island and its surrounding waters, with over 100 pictures of spectacular sea bird cliffs, coastal scenery and heathland, and the most important grey seal breeding colony in southern Britain.

With chapters dedicated to the local stories that colour the island’s history, both confirmed and mythical, and in-depth information on its varied wildlife and seascapes, Ffion’s first-hand insight adds the intimacy and depth of her long-term commitment to the area.

Essential reading for all those with an interest in animal conservation, British wildlife or the diverse locales of the UK, its compact size also makes it an affordable, portable and practical guide for the visitor, as well as a testament to both Ffion’s dedication and the richness and ecological value of the island today.
