Warblers, Wolves & a Wild Finca — Part 1


Dear Reader,

We have something special to share with you this week.

Last spring our lovely friends Penny and Dave Green visited us here at Wild Finca. You may remember the newsletter afterwards - full of moth trapping, bio-blitzing, and all sorts of other magical nature activities.

While they were here, Penny also recorded a conversation with us for her wonderful podcast The Wandering Ecologist. Listening back feels like stepping straight into an Asturian spring day - birds calling, pond appreciating and plenty of laughter along the way.

If you’d like to transport yourself to northern Spain for a little while, you can listen to Part 1 here:



We hope you enjoy it!

From our wild corner to yours,

Katie, Luke, Roan and Albus

P.S. We’d love to hear if you enjoyed it! Do hit reply and let us know – any questions or thoughts that popped up while you were listening.

It came shooting low across the sky and disappeared into the orchard above...

Dear , Before anything else, we wanted to say a huge thank you. For your messages.For your encouragement.For the wonderful photos you’ve sent of yourselves holding No Paradise with Wolves after receiving it for Christmas. Seeing the book out in the world - in your homes, in your hands, beside cups of tea and glasses of wine - is wonderfully surreal. And to everyone who has taken the time to leave reviews on Goodreads and Amazon so far, we truly can’t thank you enough. As part of this...

Dear Reader,As the year draws in and the days shorten here in northern Spain, we wanted to send a little update from our wild corner - and a Christmas gift for you.
