Paperback. Zustand: New. The book traces Conor Jameson's travels in search of the Goshawk, a magnificent yet rarely seen (in Britain at least) raptor. Each episode of the narrative arises from personal experience, investigation, and the unearthing of information from research, exploration and conversations.The journey takes him from an encounter with a stuffed Goshawk in a glass case, through travels into supposed Goshawk territories in Britain, to Berlin - where he finds the bird at ease in the city. Why, he wants to know, is the bird so rarely seen in Britain?He explores the politics of birdwatching, the sport of falconry and the impact of persecution on the recent history of the bird in Britain and travels the length of Britain, through central Europe and the USA in search of answers to the goshawk mystery. Throughout his journey he is inspired by the writings of T H White who told of his attempts to tame a Goshawk in his much-loved book.It's a gripping tale on the trail of a most mysterious and charismatic bird.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 2015). (2013) 2015 paperback edition. 8vo (129 x 199mm). Pp364. B/w vignettes. Remainer mark to page edges, slight use but an unread paperback. The author, a professional conservationist and an officer of the RSPB, travels (in England, Scotland, Germany and the USA) in search of the wild goshawk, and uses this as the framework around which he builds a searching examination of the species' historical and contemporary position. Interesting, frustrating and irritating - the subject matter is good but I got a bit fed up with his constant harping on about the sins of gamekeepers (when almost all raptors, including goshawks, are still on the increase), but mainly because of his inconsistent use of capitals for animal names. So Otter, Rabbit, Buzzard and Pheasant get capitalised (as though there were only one species of each) while sparrow, crow and woodpecker don't, leading to sentences where the initial letters jump up and down like yo-yos. .
