London: Harvill Press, 1972. First UK edition. A Very Good+ unmarked copy with complete dustjacket which has a little wear to top edge. Lady, a Golden Eagle, was taken as a chick from her nest in the mountains near Carpinteria, California, and although eagles are protected birds, Ed Durden had received permission to do this for the purpose of study and scientific research. Little did he he and his son Kent guess that she was to make her home with them for 16 years, or that when they released her to fly off with a mate, that she would leave a big gap in their family circle. Never has a wild Golden Eagle been observed over so long a period, and this account by Kent who was associated with all his father's adventures with Lady admirably and uniquely tells her story. C3A.

Newton Abbot: David & Charles, 1993. A Fine unmarked copy with dustjacket which has a small tear to bottom od spine and is not price clipped. Few groups of birds are more appropriately named than wildfowl, for they inhabit our wildest coasts and few remaining wilderness areas, yet most of the 38 species described here in detail are also widely familiar as they have been closely involved in our art, literature and sport for many centuries. Each species' account begins with a close look at the bird's history and conservation, to which are added details of distribution and population, plus sections on habitat, identification, behaviour, breeding, food and migration. The text is complemented by superb, specially commissioned paintings by Alastair Proud of all the birds described, plus silhouettes to aid identification, and many colour and monochrome photographs. **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.9 KILO WHICH MAY REQUIRE EXTRA SHIPPING COST **** 22.
