Curious Creatures on our Shores

‘Beautifully illustrated with an oil painting, each species is depicted in the habitat in which it is usually found. … An enchanting work, suitable for anyone with an interest in coastal UK wildlife.’ * BBC Countryfile *
‘I’m not a natural naturalist but occasionally when you see something bobbing by that isn’t shredded plastic, it’s nice to know what it is. This book allows you to do this. Chris Thorogood keeps it simple too, with nice big pictures and short but informative explanations of what the creature mentioned is. … it’s always handy to have such a guide.’ * Sailing Today *
‘Science Book Gift Guide 2019: This short book contains 56 gorgeous colour reproductions of oil paintings by the author portraying creatures that can be found at low tide along the shoreline of the British Isles (and in many cases along shorelines elsewhere as well).’ * American Scientist *

This well-presented book is filled with interesting facts and observations about animals that may be encountered on UK shorelines.

Chris Thorogood is a biologist at Oxford University (Deputy Director and Head of Science at Oxford University Botanic Garden), and a wildlife artist.
