Description - The Unique Life of a Ranger: Seasons of Change on Blakeney Point by Ajay Tegala

An honest account of the battles and privilege of protecting a world-renowned nature reserve. Few people have had the privilege of living on an isolated internationally important nature reserve, their every move judged by countless critics. This account gives a personal insight into the challenges young ranger Ajay Tegala faced as he stood firm to protect wildlife on Blakeney Point. In 120 years, only a handful of wardens have devoted their heart and soul to the Point. Watching and learning from his predecessors, Ajay faced head-on the challenges of the elements, predation and an ever-interested public. From the excitement of monitoring the growing seal population to the struggles of protecting nesting birds from a plethora of threats, this book tells the story of what life as a ranger on one of Britain's prime nature sites is really like. Ajay shares the many emotions of life on the edge of land and sea with honesty and affection. AUTHOR: Ajay Tegala shares his passion for the natural world through his work as a TV presenter, and his credits include BBC 'Springwatch' and the documentary 'Inside the Bat Cave'. As a wildlife ranger, he is grounded in the world of conservation. At the age of fifteen, he decided to become a conservationist after a week's work experience with The National Trust. He studied Environmental Conservation and volunteered as an assistant warden on the Norfolk coast at Blakeney Point. After graduating, he became the full-time ranger on the Point, protecting shorebirds and seals. 30 colour, 20 b/w illustrations
