Found among Tunnicliffe's papers after his death in 1979 but only recently recognized, this manuscript was written as the sequel to Shorelands Summer Diary. It completes his portrait of a year in the life of the natural history of Anglesey. From Tunnicliffe's practice of dating all his sketches, it has been possible to date the illustrations for this work in the collection at the Oriel Ynys Mon, the spectacular new gallery in Anglesey. hands, the written and painted observation of natural events combine to create a picture in colour, line and words of a lovely part of Wales, sanctuary to a profusion of birds in a glorious landscape of mountain, cliff and estuary.
