Summary

"Nature Near London" by Richard Jefferies is a nature exploration from the 1800s. It shows the lively natural world thriving right next to London. The main point is that you don't have to go far from cities to see wildlife. The writer tells about many birds and plants he sees, and invites the reader to consider that nature is everywhere.. The writer starts by talking about his life just outside of town and how much birdlife and beauty he finds there. He paints pictures with words about springtime, like the songs of birds and the sounds rabbits and other animals make in the brush. By telling stories about animals and the changing seasons, he shows how much he cares about nature. Considering the differences between quiet nature and the busy city, he encourages people to notice and enjoy nature's beauty, no matter where they are.
