Description
Conor Jameson's search for the elusive Goshawk takes him on a journey across Britain and beyond. His quest begins with a chance encounter with a stuffed bird in a glass case, and from there he delves into the world of falconry, birdwatching, and the politics of conservation.
As Jameson travels through central Europe and the USA, he uncovers the complex history of the Goshawk's decline in Britain. Along the way, he draws inspiration from the writings of T H White, who also attempted to tame a Goshawk in his own book. This gripping tale follows Jameson as he seeks answers to the mystery of the Goshawk's rarity.
