About the author

robert burton

A trained zoologist, Robert Burton is an established author in the field of everyday natural history, focussing on the commonplace rather than the exotic or unusual. He is the wildlife columnist for the Royal Horticultural Society's The Garden and has written many articles for other magazines, including the RSPB magazine Birds. He continues the popular Nature Note in the Daily Telegraph started by his father, Dr. Maurice Burton.
Coming from a family of natural historians, Robert Burton has grown up with the concept of the garden as a sanctuary for birds and other animals. Although he has pursued his nature studies all around the world, he now works mainly from home, where he has plenty of opportunities to observe the visitors to his garden.
