The Armchair Naturalists

For easy-going Naturalists and people who care about nature and wildlife.

Co-founders of popular natural history blog FFON (The Frightened Face of Nature) Simon H King FLS, life-long naturalist and leading veterinary expert Professor John E Cooper plus wildlife lawyer Margaret E Cooper FLS are encouraging the nation take a closer look at the natural world and stay connected through nature to get through the COVID-19 isolation and emerge healthy. We've never needed nature more and long periods of isolation will test everyone’s willpower; however, turning our attention to the natural world’s comings and goings will guide us safely through this uncharted territory. Are you ready to join your fellow ‘armchair naturalists’?
