Personally, I can’t get so worked up about some of the other geese wandering around in this area – the Egyptian Geese, Canada Geese and even all those Greylag Geese, and the more than just occasional Barnacle Geese these days. But for lovers of geese this is a book for them. He didn’t set out to write a book – “I thought, how am I going to get through this winter? I will write a story about the geese” – but his journal has become The Meaning of Geese, a gorgeously observed paean to the beauty and complexity of these birds, and the landscape of North Norfolk.

It’s not just about cycling around North Norfolk as the author brings in characters from the past and interviews some characters from the present too. There is a mix of history, landscape, biology, conservation along with the geese and the cycling. Through geese, we hear about farming practices and farmers, climate change and quite a lot about fellow wildlife enthusiasts of various types. I enjoyed it and I think so will many of the readers of this blog.He left Norfolk to study French, then environmental management, at Oxford University.

Through paying close attention to wild nature, Acheson, like so many of us, has found solace during difficult times. These geese make him feel small and he revels in it. “The smaller I can feel, the better it is. And that’s not a self-obliterating feeling, it’s a feeling of wanting to know my place, because genetically, the carbon, the genes, everything that makes me and you and us is part of this enormous flow, and these geese are a sacrament of that.” As our skies emptied of human traffic with flights grounded around the world, tens of thousands of geese still swirled and clamoured over Norfolk Sometimes their numbers swell and there could be thousands swirling, clamouring and swooping down to seashore roosts or food-rich fields. Honest, human and heart-grabbing. I loved this book so much.’ Sophie Pavelle, author of Forget Me Not
