| Abstract | "A captivating insight into the world of the kestrel through the eyes of an enthusiastic raptor fieldworker -- this is an appealing book that rightfully raises the profile of the kestrel. A comprehensive picture of this delightful falcon is portrayed, including its lifestyle and the factors that affect its breeding success and survival. This is based upon almost 40 years' monitoring of the kestrel in south-west Scotland and further afield by the author and colleagues, giving a flavour of the integrated approach to monitoring and conservation. ... a mixture of facts with entertaining anecdotes and experiences, complemented with a wide range of colour illustrations. The reader is taken to exotic locations such as the Seychelles, Mauritius and the Cape Verde Islands to see the endemic island kestrels."--Page 4 of cover. |
