Naturally Scottish Raptors
The latest title in our Naturally Scottish series has just been published. The subject – Raptors – includes some of the most iconic species to be found in Scotland.
Golden eagle, osprey, red kite and a host of other impressive birds of prey are featured in a booklet that gives a marvellous insight into the behaviour and appeal of these wonderful birds.
Superbly illustrated by some of Scotland’s leading natural history photographers, this 64 page publication is a welcome addition to a series renowned for its production values and the clear, stimulating text.
Wildcats
This lavishly illustrated booklet focuses on the only native member of the cat family still living in the UK today. It is believed to be a descendant of continental European wildcat ancestors, colonising Britain following the last ice age (7,000-9,000 years ago). The book uses a rich mix of photography and illustration to tell the story of one of our rarest mammals and the conservation measures being taken to ensure its continued existence.
Red squirrels
The red squirrel is one of the most popular mammals in Britain. Although timid creatures, they are easily recognisable in their woodland home and we are fortunate in Scotland to have many places where we can enjoy seeing them. Red squirrels is crammed with stunning images and explores their life cycle, behaviour and habitats. It also considers issues facing the species and conservation measures aimed at protecting a Scottish favourite.
Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises
Nearly a quarter of the world’s cetacean species are found in Scotland’s coastal waters. Rarely seen, and poorly understood, they’re among the most exciting species that are ‘naturally Scottish’.
Discover more about the ‘big four’ cetacean species – killer whale, minke whale, bottlenose dolphin and porpoise – and the best places to watch cetaceans around Scotland’s coasts.
