Here’s what
one reviewer said about it:
For
me there were plenty of secrets, some more spectacular than others: such as the
aerial passing of freshly caught prey between a pair of hen harriers, or a tree
creeper hollowing out a cosy sleeping hole in the bark of a giant redwood. More
harrowing though was the story of the pigeons; diligently building their nest
in Cardiff, taking turns to sit on eggs for three weeks, despite the rain, then
four days of feeding until the sparrowhawk arrived - cruel curtains for the
chicks as the helpless parents watched on. I think it makes a fantastic
introduction or a great reminder of the rich variety of our bird life across
Wales and aspects of behaviour most of us miss; both an inspiration and a
snapshot in time.
