The Peregrine Falcon by Richard Sale and Steve Watson

Peregrine Falcons are iconic aerial apex predators sometimes held in mystical regard, occasionally elevated to the status of myth and legend. This book investigates all aspects of Peregrine life, from plumage, through diet, population dynamics, breeding and survival. The falcons breed on all continents apart from Antarctica and data has been collected from across that vast range and we provide information on each of the 19 subspecies as to diet, distribution and physical characteristics. Modern technology (inertial measurement units built by RS) has been used to study the flights which have made Peregrines famous as arguably the fastest creature on the planet. The result is a comprehensive book on this most iconic bird, including 150 full colour photographs from across the world and 235 figures and tables. 528 pages in all priced at £49.99 plus P&P. We hope you enjoy reading it.
