I also enjoyed Underland,if fact anything by Robert McFarlane is very good. Through it I discovered Merlin Sheldrake and his book "Entangled Life".

Lovely. My next read will be Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard, who discovered that trees "communicate" this way. The magpie study is fascinating! Corvids are so smart. And I'm sorry you think you may have looked like a marshmallow. I'm sure your words are what held everyone's attention.

Thanks and thanks. Corvids *are* amazing! I keep meaning to start walking around with peanuts in my pockets so that I can form a little relationship with a few. (As recommended by Dr. Kaeli Swift, a corvid researcher.) And now I am completely *obsessed* with the wood wild web. Obsessed. Curious to hear what you think of Finding the Mother Tree, it's on my list too.
