The Peregrine read by David Attenborough (Omnibus)

JA Baker’s masterpiece written in diary form, charting his observations of this glorious bird. Read by David Attenborough.

David Attenborough reads from JA Baker's British nature writing classic which was published over 50 years ago to critical acclaim.

Written in the form of a diary, it covers seven months from autumn to spring, charting Baker's observations of this extraordinary predator.

The diaries give us insights into Baker’s obsession with the peregrine’s hunting life in and around the Essex countryside, a county where Baker lived all his life.
