Lady of the Loch by Helen Armitage
The extraordinary story of Lady, Britain's oldest breeding osprey - one of the UK's favourite birds.
Armitage's delightful little book details [the ospreys'] conservation success story and pays loving tribute to the pioneering female osprey, Lady, who has certainly done her bit to swell the UK osprey population... As Armitage's affectionate book makes clear, Lady is one tough, magical, absolutely marvellous old bird. * Val Hennessy, Daily Mail *
The autobiography of a Scottish osprey is set to be a best seller. * The Scotsman *
An excellent read ... Covers a lot of stuff about the history of the osprey in Britain, and it [is] very well done. * RSPB community *
I loved [this] book. It is an incredible story and written most beautifully. I learnt so much from reading it. * Rachel Portman OBE, Oscar-winning composer *
A wonderful book ... an inspiring account. * Simon Milne, Chief Executive, Scottish Wildlife Trust *
A penetrating andenchanting story that most likely will become a classic ... Armitage succeedsin highlighting today's strong commitment [to the osprey] among everyday peopleas well as in describing the sometimes dramatic background of the ospreypopulation's decrease and increase. Her story thus also becomes an interestingcontribution to the history of man's relationship with nature. In addition,which should not be underestimated, her account of the late summer of 2010 is areal nail-biter. * Svenska Dagbladet [leading Swedish national newspaper] *
