THIS fascinating book on the Peregrine Falcon 

 — the grandest bird of prev left in England — 

 combines the salient facts of almost innumerable 

 field notes, reritten at the eyrie itself. It is 

 a book that should appeal with irresistible force to all 

 true nature lovers. Many striking and unexpected facts 

 were revealed to the author as a result of unwearying 

 patience in a diminutive hut slung from the precipice of 

 a lonely islet. These records are now set forth in a won- 

 derful narrative which discloses the life history of the 

 Peregrine Falcon from the moment of its hatching to 

 the day it finalh- leaves the eyrie. 



" No one who wishes to know the most that has been learned 

 about the Peregrine Falcon can afford to neglect this work. The 

 book reflects a high credit upon its writer's powers, patience, skill, 

 and well-directed zeal in observation, and will be prized by everyone 

 who wishes to know how wild birds live." — The Times.
