The Golden Eagle

Poyser Monographs

by Jeff Watson, Keith Brockie (Illustrator)

This comprehensive monograph is a second edition of one of the most
popular Poyser monographs; it covers all aspects of this spectacular
eagle's biology and ecology, including a full review of the literature
and incorporating the considerable body of research on the species
since the publication of the first edition in 1997. The late Jeff
Watson was one of Scotland's foremost eagle experts, with more than 20
years of research on the birds; following Jeff's untimely death, the
book is being completed by his colleagues Des Thompson and Helen Riley.
Scottish studies provide the foundation for a treatment that also
includes up-to-date information from work in North America, continental
Europe and elsewhere. This global view allows fascinating insights into
the species' relationships with a variety of different habitats and
leads to many new and important conclusions regarding its ecology. This
highly readable and authoritative account is destined to become the
standard reference on the species, both in Scotland and elsewhere in
the world. The text is enriched with many superb pictures of this
majestic bird and additional wash landscapes capture the very special
atmosphere of Scotland's Golden Eagle country.
