Nick Penny
Nick Penny grew up in many parts of the world before doing an arts degree at Oxford University. He then set up his own workshop making musical instruments, as well as writing music and playing the Paraguayan harp. After moving to rural Northamptonshire he became fascinated by birdsong and started to record it and use the sounds in his music. He also began to watch and photograph the kingfishers on a stretch of the river Nene.
Nick is an inspiring speaker about wildlife and birdsong. He’s talked about nightingales on BBC Radio 4’s Open Country, was interviewed by Lauren Laverne for BBC 6 music’s Supernature, and has made many appearances on local TV and radio.
CALL OF THE KINGFISHER (Bradt) was published in 2023.
