Colour illustrated end-papers The Long, Wild Shore explores the seasons on the North Norfolk coast. It uses the famous landmark of Blakeney Point as its focus – a place steeped in history and renowned for its colonies of seals and nesting birds. Individual chapters explore the lives of Common and Grey Seals and well-known breeding birds such as Little and Sandwich Terns, Oystercatchers and Ringed Plovers. The area is also famed as a location to experience bird migration and additional illustrated chapters focus on this exciting spectacle. Over one hundred paintings and numerous watercolour sketches have been reproduced in the book. The paintings and sketches were made almost exclusively in the field at the time of watching and the vast majority were completed on Blakeney Point during the years that the author worked there as a warden. James McCallum is an artist based in North Norfolk. He is a graduate of The Royal College of Art and is best known for his watercolour paintings of the natural world, particularly birds, made outdoors from life. Working directly from nature has enabled him to develop a thorough knowledge of the visual language and behaviour of wildlife in its chosen surroundings.
