In the Shadow of the Falcon

More about the book

The story of a peregrine falcon living wild on the island of Ramsey. His life is one of freedom but blighted by the persecution of man. Told with understanding and sympathy and from a careful study and research. Ewan Clarkson wrote a number of wildlife stories and this is on of his best. The author never bypasses the ill that man does to wild creatures and in this book the persecution of the peregrine is covered in detail. But the reader also soars on the thermals alongside one of the worlds most magnificent birds, the fastest creature on the planet, the noble peregrine.
