The Hobby

Anthony Chapman

This is the first complete account in the English language of this popular but secretive species. Backed by detailed tables and definitive maps, this fully illustrated book describes the Hobby's breeding cycle, varied hunting techniques and wide prey spectrum. It also examines the bird's status throughout its Eurasian range. With illustrations by Bruce Pearson.

"All in all this is a fine book well worthy of its subject...This is a book that you will want to pick up and read. If you too have been captivated by the hunter in red trousers then you won't be disappointed with this book."
