Birds of Prey: Majestic Masters of the Skies

Second-Hand (Hardcover)

Excellent condition

BIRDS OF PREY are the winged predators of the aerial world.

Whether stooping from altitude at phenomenal speed to strike an unsuspecting target from above, flicking and darting between trees in a lethal tailchase, Or ghosting silently
through the night in pursuit of prey as owls do, these incredible predators excite our admiration and awe in equal measure.

All are superbly adapted to hunting in their own particular niche in the food chain; their bodies and senses are supremely evolved to fit them for one purpose - predation.

In this beautifully illustrated survey of the world's birds of prey, Paul Frost introduces the reader to the extraordinary diversity of raptors that populate the skies. He groups them into five main categories:

• eagles
• hawks
• falcons
• vultures
• owls

Photographed in their natural habitats here you will finds birds that hunt amongst woods and forests, over deserts, fields and moors, in mountains, over water or snowy wastes, by day and at night.
