| book description |

A photo-packed celebration of British raptors, following their fortunes as British breeding birds from historical times to the present day. RSPB British Birds of Prey is the ideal introduction to the raptors â€“ hawks, eagles, harriers, buzzards and falcons â€“ plus the 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 species are faring better in the UK than they have for decades. With incredible colour photography throughout, this book provides fascinating insights into the lives of these birds. Each chapter showcases an individual species, providing an engaging and informative account of their hunting habits, breeding behaviour, the migrations they undertake, and above all the challenges they continue to face as they forge their lives alongside humanity in Britain.
