Competition Results

17th April 2026

Here are the results of our latest newsletter competition…

Last week, we had three copies of Gordon McMullan’s Cormorant: A Cultural History of Greed and Prejudice to give away, courtesy of Cambridge University Press. We asked:

What is the Latin name for the bird family commonly known as cormorants and shags?

And the answer is: Phalacrocoracidae. The winners are Caryne Pearce, Jo Bray and James Farrell. Your books will be with you very soon!

Thanks for all the entires. To be in with the chance of winning our next prize — one of three copies of Rosalind Kerven’s Myths, Legends and Tales for a Greener World — make sure you’re signed up to the mailing list. The sign-up box can be found on the right-hand side of this page.
