More Twitching through the Swamp A cock-eyed commentary on the natural world by Peter Marren Twitcher in the Swamp was the byline of a column written by Peter Marren for British Wildlife magazine from 1990 to 2023. It is possibly the only work of satire in the entire literature of nature conservation and natural history and cocked a snook at the follies and pretences of conservation pundits and our largely ignorant government. It could also be read now as a cock-eyed commentary on the natural world in Britain over the past thirty years. It was fun to write. And, I hope, fun to read. Peter Marren is a writer on science, wildlife and conservation. He has written nearly thirty books including,,, Bugs Britannica, The New Naturalists, Rainbow Dust, Chasing the Ghost and After They’re Gone, a cheerful book about extinction. |
