A Journal for Slowing Down in Nature

Common Chaffinch Journal Entry

This journal grew out of years of carrying notebooks on walks: writing down what I heard before I looked, sketching what I couldn't name, pressing leaves between pages I'd return to later. It's the kind of companion I wished I had when I started paying attention to birds. So I made one.

During our mindfulness and birdsong walks, people often ask how to continue the practice at home.

This small field journal was created for that purpose.

Inside you'll find space to:

  • note the birds you see or hear

  • sketch the landscape

  • reflect on moments of presence

  • track your walks in nature

Whether you're birdwatching, meditating outdoors, or simply sitting in a park, this journal helps you stay connected to what you notice.

What’s Inside

A journal in three parts

  • Twelve European birds: the Robin, Blackbird, Kingfisher, Heron and more. Each with a habitat note, a listening cue, and a facing reflection prompt. Each page with watercolour illustrations.

  • Twelve wild and cultivated plants: Lavender, Rosemary, Elderflower, Hawthorn and other. Each paired with a traditional use, a sound-based cue, and a question to sit with.

  • Five blank pages for drawing, pressing leaves, or leaf imprinting plus simple instructions. Space to bring the outside in, without a prompt telling you what to notice.

  • A companion audio resource (soon) of field recordings for each entry, to use before, during, or after a walk. The journal and the sound practice work together.


Most of us are practised at moving through the world without quite landing in it.

This journal is for slow walkers: people who want to be present with what's already there, rather than seeking a particular experience.

Each entry begins with a listening cue: a small instruction to attend to sound before anything else. From there, a reflection prompt invites you to notice what's happening in your body, not just the landscape around you.

You don't need to know the birds. You don't need to identify the plants. The journal works whether you use it once a week on a long walk, or for five minutes by an open window.
