A review -

This is an excellent read and is still relevant today, as i found when i checked up on the nesting habits of the endangered bird the hen harrier. A report in 2010 stated that the hen harrier had 'recently' taken to nesting on the ground in young forestry plantations; this book states that they were well established as doing so in 1980.
