a passionate detective story . descriptive, at times poetic prose." - Devon Birds   "This timely book is a satisfying mix of page-turning action and thoughtful speculation . It is also a fine meditation on what its presence means to us." -BBC Wildlife "While reading the highs and lows of searching for Goshawks I felt as though I had accompanied a friend on a mission." -British Birds "I have read this book with immense pleasure. Perhaps it may trigger people to really observe birds, rather than tick them and put them on a list.
