Are you intrigued by the remnants of an animal you've discovered? This comprehensive compilation of the most commonly found body parts of animals consumed by raptors will aid in identifying your find. Featuring over 100 species of bird and mammal prey, including sparrowhawks, peregrines, and hen harriers, this photographic guide showcases the common feathers, fur, and other body parts found at raptor nests, roosts, plucking posts, and other opportunistic locations.
Exploring the diet of raptors is crucial in understanding their feeding ecology, how it may evolve over time, vary locally, or respond to changing prey populations. It also helps dispel myths and assumptions about specific raptor species' diets, contributing to the conservation of these remarkable birds.
This book is the first to provide a detailed account of the actual parts of a bird, mammal, or other animal that you are likely to encounter in a garden, woodland, or beneath a raptor roost. As more individuals become interested in raptors and observe species like peregrines through webcams and watch groups, there are increased opportunities to discover prey remains. This book serves as the essential first step in identifying a prey species.
