Wild Kingdom: Bringing Back Britain's Wildlife, tell us that Britain’s wildlife is in trouble. Wild creatures that have lived here for thousands of years are disappearing, because of pollution and persecution, competition with alien species, changing farming and forestry practices, and climate change. It’s not just rare creatures such as the Scottish wildcat or the red squirrel that are vanishing. Hares and hedgehogs, skylarks and water voles, even the humble house sparrow, are in freefall. 

Stephen's book, The Robin: A Biography was published in November 2017 and has been a bestseller since publication. iNewspaper has described it as "A thoughtful mash-up of cultural and natural history".
