Description

At 86, Mike Tomkies returns to his passion for observing Britain's rarest wildlife. He begins by watching three peregrine falcon chicks from hatching to flying stage in Cornwall. Over the next decade, he searches the country for a 'small wild paradise', documenting his encounters with golden eagles and white-tailed sea eagles. Tomkies' experiences are marked by intimate detail and a deep understanding of the natural world. His observations of hunting and nesting birds offer a unique insight into their behavior and habitat. The book culminates in the filming of magnificent white-tailed sea eagles on Mull, showcasing their impressive hunting skills and family dynamics. This book is a must for anyone interested in wild nature and the experiences of a leading naturalist with rare major species.
