Birds of Prey - or raptors - are some of the most captivating bird
species in the world. Think of eagles and condors, vultures, hawks
and kites, but also owls and ospreys. Think of the peregrine
falcon, which, reaching speeds of up to 320km/h (200mph), is the
world's fastest animal - when diving. From the New World Caracaras
to the Oriental Hobby, the Northern Goshawk to the Swamp Harrier to
the European Merlin, Birds of Prey explores the fascinating
lifecycles, habitats, diets and, where applicable, migratory
patterns, of more than 100 species from all around the world. They
primarily hunt and feed on vertebrates that are large relative to
the hunter. They have keen eyesight, being able to spot their prey
from great distances, and strong feet equipped with talons for
grasping or killing prey, and powerful, curved beaks for tearing
flesh. In addition to hunting live prey, most also eat carrion, at
least occasionally, and vultures and condors eat carrion as their
main food source. With full captions explaining how the species
hunt and feed, nest and rear their young, Birds of Prey is a
brilliant examination in 240 outstanding colour photographs.
