David Attenborough reads from J. A. Baker's classic of British nature writing. It's February, and once again the peregrine is in flight.

Published over fifty years ago to critical acclaim, The Peregrine was the recipient of one of the most prestigious literary prizes of the time, the Duff Cooper Prize. Written in the form of a diary it charts Baker's almost daily observations of this extraordinary predator over the course of seven months, from autumn to spring.
