BBC Radio 4 Extra - Fingers in the Sparkle Jar by Chris Packham Broadcaster and naturalist Chris Packham's painfully honest memoir.

It’s brave because it is a self-portrait of a rather weird kid – not good with people and not a bundle of laughs, it seems. A kid who was fascinated by wildlife. This slightly weird kid grew up to be a slightly weird, and troubled, adult, and the honesty of the book is what makes it very powerful. Creatures exodus mac download.

This book dips into Chris Packham’s childhood from the age of about five to about sixteen but at the end of each chapter there is a shorter account from his forties (the early 2000s) and these later accounts of conversations with… , well you read the book, are unnerving and dark.

There’s lots of Chris’s unhappy school times, unhappy home times, and happier times out with nature. There’s the discovery of punk. There’s the relationship with a Kestrel. Download command mac.

Chris Packham is a great guy – I admire his toughness and his persistence. But he gets an awful lot of very nasty flak from the shooters. Don t starve free mac download. Remember the Countryside Alliance called for the BBC to drop their best wildlife presenter a couple of years ago – well, don’t think that has gone away, the nasty brigade haven’t turned over a new leaf.

Chris seems remarkably unconcerned by these attacks, but he deserves our support even if he might shrug them off anyway.

So when you see him at the Bird Fair this weekend shout out ‘Hello Chris – well done mate!’ every time you see him.
