Anyone interested in nature should learn about tracks and signs. They offer a whole new window on the wildlife in your area. Instead of being limited to the animals and birds that you can see, you can find out about the ones that passed by hours, days or even weeks ago. And if you're interested in tracking, you should definitely have a copy of this book. Whether you're a serious enthusiast or just someone who likes to understand the countryside around them, this will help you understand the tracks and signs that you find.
Brown, Lawrence and Pope pack an awful lot of information into the book, yet it's still easy to read and small enough to carry with you. As well as pictures of tracks it has details of the habits of different species, feeding signs, how to identify different kinds of dung and even a section on skulls and bones.
There's another popular book on animal tracks (the one with Ray Mears on the cover). I own both, but I find that it's the Hamlyn guide that I keep coming back to time after time. It is more relevant to wildlife in the UK and the information on gaits and trail patterns is very useful.
Buy this book - it'll turn a walk in the countryside into a fantastic detective adventure.

Definitely one of the better tracking books to be used as a field guide and home study. Found all of the information useful and the layout most constructive.

Great photographs and illustrations, descriptions and easy to use. Covers poo, tracks, and nests for a variety of animals not just mammals. The bird and reptile sections are particulary interesting I havent found many books that cover these kinds of tracks.
