RSPB Spotlight: Ospreys is packed with eye-catching, informative
colour photos, and features succinct, detailed text written by a
knowledgeable naturalist. A hunting Osprey is one of the great
sights of the natural world, and its fishing prowess is admired and
revered around the globe. However, its penchant for taking fish
from trout ponds resulted in a drastic decline in the UK with the
species wiped out by human persecution and habitat loss. Thanks to
concerted conservation efforts, it has made an encouraging comeback
in recent decades, giving people across the country the chance to
see this majestic hunter in action once again. This easy-to-read
text explores all aspects of the Osprey's biology and ecology,
including a detailed overview of the adaptations that make it such
a skilled and proficient hunter. There is also a chapter dedicated
to Osprey migration with a summary of the findings of
groundbreaking satellite tracking research. Tim Mackrill also
explores the relationship between humans and Ospreys, from the days
of Shakespeare to the recent rise of Osprey tourism. The Spotlight
series introduces readers to the lives and behaviour of our
favourite animals with eye-catching colour photographs and
informative expert text.
