'Seán's sensitivity to the natural world captivates the reader' Manchán Magan

'Earnest and uplifting' Irish Times

'Informative, inspiring and insightful' Anja Murray

Seán Ronayne always knew he was different. Nicknamed 'nature boy' by the other kids, as a child he regularly escaped to the woods and coastlines around his home in Cork. The natural world was his happy place and where he discovered his true passion - identifying and understanding birds through their sound and song. This passion would see him find his calling as an ornithologist.

From a near-death experience as a teenager, to his adventures in the Sahara Desert and the jungles of Nepal, coming to terms with an autism diagnosis at the age of thirty‑two and his mission to sound record all the regularly occurring bird species in Ireland (resulting in acclaimed documentary Birdsong), here in Nature Boy Seán takes us on a journey of discovery and wonder.

Brilliant book, beautifully read by Seán. It was wonderful to hear the passion and joy in his voice and really brought his amazing story to life.

Beautiful book

Learned a lot about birdsong and I love the detailedness and honesty of this story. The narration, though sometimes a bit fast, is very good and also understandable for non-native speakers of English. I like guessing the Dutch names of the birds Sean talks about, the descriptions are detailed enough to test myself (though I never guessed the whitethroat is a grasmus). I work with high functioning students with ASD and learned a lot about that as well: the insiders perspective is very well explained. Sean is a role model for how the characteristics of ASD (like eye for details) could be a superpower when one finds the right occupation. Thanks!

Great book about birdsong, life, love and how autism might be not only a bad thing, but a superpower as well.

I saw Sean for a very short-too short-segment on Springwatch a few weeks ago. His passion,his willingness to put his emotions out there,he was just captivating.It spurred me onto to find out more about his work and more about Sean as a person.Hence listening to this book.It is a beautifully balanced book of fascinating bird facts and of Seans life so far.His gentle humour and his searing honesty about how vulnerable he has felt in life being autistic but not being aware of it until later in life had me in tears many a time.I have just been assessed and diagnosed as autistic myself at the age of 55 so identified with much of how Sean has felt. Listening to his love of birds and all nature actually has inspired me to do more in my own little world. I cannot recommend this book enough.Thank you Sean for such a moving and enthralling look into your life, it’s been a privilege.

A rare and beautiful soul

Started and finished the book in under a week. It's full to the brim with tales of the natural world, dotted with touching personal stories from Seán's life. His narration adds an extra dimension to the audiobook, his passion and emotion really seeps through.

Fantastic audiobook wonderfully read by Seán!
