About

Patrick Barkham, Small Island Life
A Journey Around Our Archipelago

Patrick Barkham takes us on a journey around some of Britain's most intriguing small islands, meeting their wild residents – from puffins to party animals, Orkney voles to nuns. In this illustrated talk, he travels from small to ever tinier islands in search of the essence of island life. Do small islands have big lessons for us on the mainland?

Patrick is the award-winning author of The Butterfly Isles, Badgerlands, and Wild Child and The Guardian's Natural History Writer. His book Islander won the 2018 National Geographic Traveller Magazine book of the year award. Patrick's favourite island is Scolt Head Island in north Norfolk!
