About the event

Bury Literature Festival x Festival of Nature 

What can the cuckoo tell us about the state of our countryside? In this captivating event, naturalist and author Michael J Warren follows his extraordinary book The Cuckoo's Lea - part memoir, part nature writing, part urgent environmental investigation - to explore one of Britain's most beloved and increasingly elusive birds.

With an introduction from our partners at Suffolk Wildlife Trust, this event weaves together personal story, ecological science, and a profound meditation on what we stand to lose if we fail to act. Beautifully observed and passionately argued, this is an essential event for anyone who cares about the natural world.
