Unlike the majority of books dealing with birds, this 
volume is of interest to the general reader and to the student 
of ornithology alike. 
It is a book that enables the reader to identify our Sea- 
birds by name, to understand their movements, their habits, 
their nests and their eggs. 
The Observer says : — “ We marvel at the snapshots that have been 
taken of birds. Every movement of their flight is now recorded ; 
the taking off, the alighting, the swooping, the settling, the ‘ planing,’ the 
struggling against the wind. And they are just the birds which the 
ordinary man wants to know about, because he has such opportunities of 
seeing them for himself on any walk along the cliff.” 
THE PEREGRINE FALCON 
AT THE EYRIE 
By FRANCIS HEATHERLEY, F.R.C.S. 
Illustrated with wonderful photographs by the Author and C. J. King. 
Demy quarto, cloth, gilt, 5/- net; by inland post, 5/6 
This fascinating book on the Peregrine Falcon — the 
grandest bird of prey left in England — combines the salient 
facts of almost innumerable field notes, written 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 wonderful 
narrative which discloses the life history of the Peregrine 
Falcon from the moment of its hatching to the day it finally 
leaves the eyrie. 
The Times says : — “ We commend this faithful and truly scientific 
inquiry to all lovers of animals and to those who are in quest of a real 
knowledge of nature.”
