An acknowledged classic of narrative nature-writing, Donald Watson's 'The Hen Harrier' was the culmination of a lifetime's study of this beautiful upland bird. A gentle, warm and wonderfully written book, it stems from an age of 'amateur' conservation, from the pen of a man who cared deeply about birds and their habitats, especially of the Scottish borders where he conducted much of his research and painting.
