Sedgwick ("Tower-Bird"),editor of The Shooting Times, devotes two long chapters to his first love - wild fowling.He takes readers with him to the muds and saltings of coastal estuaries,not only to shoot, but to enjoy the vivid environment and natural history of the salt marshes where the ebb and flow of tides empties or fills
the main channel and the twisting creeks and gutters of the saltings; where the geese,duck and waders in their hundreds, or in their thousands,follow the tide- line,or recognised flight-line inshore.A particularly interesting feature of his book is the author's carefully recorded notes on the effect of the bitter winter of 1946-47,with its snows and floods,on game and all wild life.
Sedgwick's books are well known for his accuracy relating to natural history, and the rural way of life; for their recording of detailed observations;above all,for their complete informality.
