British Birds of Prey A Study of Britain's 24 Diurnal Raptors (The New Naturalist Series No. 60)
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review:
'Leslie Brown's British Birds of Prey, which celebrates the 60th birthday, as it were, of the excellent New Naturalist series, is rich in observation, his own and other people's - much of the latter unpublished but willingly imparted - and, at intervals, warm with righteous, well-documented indignation.'
Daily Telegraph
'Few naturalists or would-be naturalists can have anything but praise for the New Naturalist series, and this latest volume, British Birds of Prey, is no exception. Leslie Brown's book is bound to be welcomed by ornithologists everywhere and by general readers too. If Brown set out to produce an in-depth study of a fascinating subject in a highly-readable format then he has succeeded.'
New Scientist
'Quite the best study yet made of Britain's twenty-four diurnal raptors. Leslie Brown is an eloquent and enthusiastic champion of birds of prey; he is also hard-hitting and forthright in his opinions. This impressive book should go a long way to furthering our understanding of these magnificent birds.'
Country Life
'Mr Brown combines passion with a deep knowledge and world-wide experience...a find book in a fine series'
