Goshawk Summer by James Aldred

Goshawk Summer by James Aldred

From an award-winning wildlife cameraman comes the unique story of filming a family of wild Goshawks in the New Forest when suddenly, unexpectedly, the woods emptied of people, but filled with birdsong and new life

’A beautiful inspirational tale set in an extraordinary time’ Ray Mears

‘Wonderful … they don’t come much more expert than James Aldred’ Lauren Laverne

 

‘Magical and transporting… a beautiful and deeply evocative hymn to love, hope and connection.’ Helen MacDonald, author of H is for Hawk

‘[An] entrancing, acutely observed, beautifully paced diary of the secretive raptor’s breeding season… Fascinating.’ BBC Wildlife

‘I was struck throughout by the power and visceral beauty of Aldred’s prose. He writes almost like a poet, placing such emphasis on using precise and beautiful vocabulary’ NB Magazine

‘A wonderful insight into natural history filmmaking.’ The Bay Magazine

‘Really gets into the heart of the area … not just an enjoyable book to read, but one to learn from’ Bird Watching

‘Enchanting … the goshawks are the book’s central characters but there is much else besides not least the foxes and curlews captured by Aldred’s lens.’ Country & Town House

‘Highly readable and informative … In Goshawk Summer, Aldred succeeds in bringing his childhood home to life … This book has opened my eyes to [the New Forest’s] scale and richness.’ The Pilgrim

‘An extraordinary book … Aldred’s observations from nest-building to egg laying, hatching, chick feeding and fledging are spellbinding and educational.’ Wild Things
