![]() "Harriers: Journeys Around The World" by Don Scott A Limited Edition of 700 copies Until recently harriers were one of the least known group of birds but after an in-depth study of the Hen Harrier in Northern Ireland, Don Scott succeeded in his passion to observe and study all 16 of the World’s species as well as the single subspecies of harrier. This quest which began over 20 years ago in Don’s home country has taken him to six continents. His sometimes dangerous journeys encompassed many exotic locations where harriers had previously received little general interest or scientific attention. The author’s dogged persistence in the field enabled him to witness traits of behaviour previously unknown in harriers. It began with the unique discovery of tree-nesting Hen Harriers and culminated with the Papuan Harrier in Papua New Guinea. This book will be irresistible to birders and biologists alike. It not only highlights the sheer majesty of harriers but helps focus attention to their individual plights which if left unrecognized will result in an uncertain future for many of the species which make up this group of birds. The stunning photographs which grace this book have been generously provided to the author by his friends and travelling companions, many of whom are themselves well-known international raptor experts. These pictures, together with Philip Snow’s watercolours, should not be missed. Hardback 270 x 200mm, 200 pages, 77
colour photographs and 5 watercolour illustrations. Price £38.50 + £4.00 UK p&p |

Andrew Palmer has written a charming account of how birds, and bird photography, have enhanced his life during his career in the Diplomatic Service and subsequently. As Lord Carrington puts it in his Foreword, “readers will thoroughly enjoy his enthusiasm and his lively approach.” Birds can appeal to us in many different ways. Whatever the particular viewpoint of individual readers, they will echo the comment of the eminent ornithologist Professor Hilary Fry, who writes in his Preface: “how refreshing is Andrew Palmer’s approach: his admiration and love of birds shine from every page.” The author first took photographs of birds as an aid to identifying species. He soon found that a certain magic lay in capturing the gleam in a bird’s eye, or its dramatic plumage. More than 90 such images are reproduced in A Diplomat and his Birds. For Lord Carrington “the photographs in this book have been a revelation of Andrew Palmer’s skill and patience.” Professor Hilary Fry remarks that “through the eye of his camera are seen not only the aesthetic qualities of bird portraiture, feathers and flight, but also revelations about biology.” This book also contains illuminating and entertaining reflections on the places where Andrew Palmer’s profession enabled him to seek out various birds. Readers will find insights into the extraordinary rule of Fidel Castro in Cuba, and that of Pope John Paul II at the Vatican: the author was accredited as British Ambassador to both of these larger-than-life figures. A Diplomat and his Birds is
a fascinating and colourful book, sure to inform and delight its readers.
