This time we find ourselves splashing into the sea, before being gathered in again at its outcrops, outposts, briny mouths and sandy fringes, where well-established stars like the puffin jostle with the lesser-known knot, scaup and razorbill, the whimbrel, spoonbill and turnstone. It\u2019s a bustling, polyphonic cliffside colony of a book, a multitude of individual voices and dynamic images poised to spill into the air and take flight in the willing imagination.\r\n\r\n<h2>Contributors<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"contributors\">Carmen Ashworth, Jean Atkin, Annabel Banks, A.K.
