Breydon Water was his parish, and he served it for forty years. Patterson's estuary book is the closest thing English natural history has to a diary of one single place: the tides moving over the flats, the wildfowl arriving and leaving, the smelt men, the gunners, the mud. Written by a man with no money, no training, and the best eye in Norfolk.
