Product Description
Review
"The tracks and signs book is ideal for sorting out half-eaten nuts, scratched bark, pellets, droppings and foot prints found on a country walk. . .[this book is] well illustrated, comprehensive, and excellent value for money."--Birds
"The real value of this book lies in the wealth of behavioral and ecological information given in the abundant text. For example, you can find out what sort of animal is likely to be breaking apart wasps' nests, explanations of patterns produced by different quadrupeds walking and running, and why hedgehog droppings are so variable."--Bulletin of British and Ecological Society

Product Description
Animal Tracks and Signs was first published in English in the 1970s, and immediately established itself as an all-time classic. Totally unique in its accessible, down-to-earth approach and detailed coverage of more than 200 creatures, it is the only book in print that enables readers to determine which animals have passed through the countryside by examining the traces they have left behind, opening up a captivating new world that might otherwise remain unseen. Whether following footprints in mud, sand, or snow; feeding marks on cones, nuts, trees, and animal remains; homes and hiding places above and below ground; or feathers, pellets, and droppings, readers are taught how to identify the bird or mammal that has been before them, aided by hundreds of beautiful, informative colour photographs, line drawings, and diagrams, and clear descriptions of the anatomy, behaviour, movement patterns, and habitat of different species. Quick-reference plate sections compare actual-size prints, pellets, and droppings for fast identification on the move, covering such diverse wildlife as the shrew, hedgehog, fox, elk, and bear; the sparrow, kestrel, and eagle owl. This new reissued edition includes a new Foreword by Ray Mears, who has found this book to be an invaluable point of reference throughout his career, and recommends it to students on his Bushcraft and Survival courses.
