Winner of The Royal Society of Literature Jerwood Award for Non-Fiction in 2011 and the Authors' Foundation Roger Deakin Award in 2011

A stunning debut in the tradition of Robert Macfarlane and Helen Macdonald

Of all the birds of the British Isles, the raptor reigns supreme, sparking the imagination like no other. In this magnificent hymn to these beautiful animals, James Macdonald Lockhart explores all fifteen breeding birds of prey on these shores - from the hen harrier swimming over the land in the dregs of a May gale on Orkney, to the ghostly sparrowhawk displaying in the fields around his home in Warwickshire. This is a book that will change how we think of our own skies.

RAPTOR by James Macdonald Lockhart is a top-rated travel book that takes readers on a journey through Britain's best birdwatching spots. It's a celebration of nature and a must-read for anyone interested in Europe's avian life.

For fans of John C. Kricher (The Balance of Nature), Carl Zimmer (Life's Edge), Hamza Yassin (Be a Birder), Jennifer Ackerman (What an Owl Knows), and John Lewis-Stempel (England).
