Format:Hardcover
In my view, this is THE definitive book of British raptors. It begins with an insight of the raptor population over the last few centuries, in particular, persecution, and goes on to describe the reintroduction of the different species. Then there is an incredibly detailed account of every resident raptor in the British Isles, depicted throughout by absolutely stunning photographs by acclaimed wildlife photographer Stig Frode Olsen.
If you are into British raptors, BUY THIS BOOK! It's the only one you'll ever need. Stunning.

Format:Hardcover
Without a doubt the best book I have ever read on Birds of Prey. Each species is treated individually and the book charts the decline, hazzards they have faced and re-introduction or conservation.
Usually I would skim over a lot of the text but found this book to be so interesting I read every word.
The author has a way of pulling you in to a greater understanding of these magnificent birds and the photographs are amazing
A wonderful book and thoroughly recommended
