I am a big fan of all kinds of nature books and they are of great inspiration to me.
I thought it would be nice to share a selection (no spon).

Speurpoep

A book about all kind of animal tracks (poop, footprints, feathers, pellets, etc.) with beautiful illustrations and really interesting facts for both kids and grownups. My muppies and I really enjoyed it. 

Wildplukken

Author: L. Bontje & Y. Noordermeer

A super nice looking book with mainly recipes of common wild plants. I use it to put my foraging knowledge into practice. A lot of these plants are on my Edible wild plants No.1 poster by the way.
