Some fox spots to reverse of dustwrapper; slight trace of silverfish attention to boards; gift inscription to front free endpaper. Very good condition. "Peter Pickford has captured the essence of each of the region's 81 species in a series of photographs both intimate and powerful. His patience as a photographer has been well rewarded, for many of the birds he has photographed are rare and infrequently seen by anyone other than the most dedicated or fortunate 'raptorphile'. He reveals the birds at their most natural: mating, rearing their young, grappling in flight for possession of prey . . . The approach of the book is deliberately evocative: to those who are unaware of the abundance and majesty of southern Africa's raptors, it should serve to awaken an abiding interest - to those already familiar with them, this book will be treasured as a stunning celebration of birds of prey.".
