The first references to breeding Peregrine falcons in Britain date back to the 13th century, but they had long been identified as among the most spectacular of Britain's birds and, in the Middle Ages, were highly valued for falconry. This classic study, first published in 1980, considers the bird's nesting, feeding, breeding and migratory behaviour as well as examining its territory and distribution in England, Wales and Scotland, and threats posed by pollution and the use of pesticides.

Review:

"This . . . is one of the most important bird monographs ever published: this study is directly linked with the whole of modern environmental awareness. It is a fascinating and very readable book which deserves to be on all birder's bookshelves, and now it has been fully revised and updated from the original 1980 edition. Thoroughly recommended."--Birding World
