Are you curious about the remains of an animal you have found? This
compilation of the most likely found body parts of animals eaten by
raptors will help you identify your discovery. Including over 100
species of bird and mammal prey of raptors such as sparrowhawks,
peregrines and hen harriers, this photographic guide highlights the
common feathers, fur and other body parts found at raptor nests,
roosts, plucking posts and other opportunistic spots. Discovering what
raptors eat is an important part of confirming their feeding ecology
and how this might change over time, vary on a local level or in
response to changing prey populations, as well as dispelling myths and
assumptions about what certain raptor species eat. Diet studies are
vital for the conservation of raptor species; the more we know about
what they need for survival the more we can predict and plan long-term
for the protection and survival of raptors that may be vulnerable and
in decline. This is the first book to show in detail the actual parts
of a bird, mammal or other animal that you are likely to find in a
garden, woodland or beneath a raptor roost. As more people take an
interest in raptors and watch species such as peregrines via webcams
and through watch groups, there is greater opportunity for finding
prey remains. This book provides the first and most important step in
identifying a prey species.
