Hello, my name is Dominic Couzens and I am an award-winning nature writer, with over 40 book titles to my name. I have also been writing articles for many years, for magazines and the national press. I have regular columns in Bird Watching Magazine, Nature’s Home (RSPB) and Water Life (WWT).
I believe passionately in communicating greater understanding about the natural world. I feel very fortunate that my writing career enables me to share an understanding of birds and other wildlife.
I am also passionate about communicating about threats to nature, and about what we can do to help our planet.
