Love is a Toad talk with Lucy Lapwing. Eastgate Bookshop. Thu 18 Jun 7.15-9.00.

Lucy Lapwing grew up in west Lancashire fascinated by things that scuttled and fluttered and slimed. But it was only as an adult that she really came to know the nature under her nose. Now a wildlife campaigner, Lucy writes about nature on Instagram and works behind the scenes on BBC Springwatch. Outside – and indeed inside – of work, you’re likely to spot her rootling in the mud, collecting feathers and bones, or whispering compliments to spiders. Lucy now lives on the Isle of Bute.
