David Attenborough reads from J. A. Baker's classic of British nature writing. It's late March and Baker forges a deeper connection with the peregrine.

Published over fifty years ago to critical acclaim, The Peregrine is regarded as a masterpiece, and has gone on to inspire some of today's most celebrated nature writers, including Robert Macfarlane. 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.
