A celebration of British raptors, following their fortunes as British breeding birds from historical times to the present day, illustrated with 100 colour photographs.
RSPB British Birds of Prey is the ideal introduction to all of the species of birds of prey (hawks and their allies, falcons and owls) that breed in or regularly visit the British Isles. Despite centuries of persecution, changing attitudes, improved legal protections and the astounding efforts of conservationists mean that many raptors in the UK are faring better than they ever have before.
With incredible new colour photography throughout, this updated edition provides fascinating insights into these birds’ private and public lives. Each chapter showcases an individual species, providing an engaging and informative account of their hunting habits, their breeding behaviour, the migrations they undertake, and above all the challenges they continue to face as they forge their lives alongside humanity in Britain.
