David Attenborough reads from J. A. Baker's classic of British nature writing. It's late autumn, ploughing season, and Baker and the peregrine come face to face.

Published over fifty years ago to critical acclaim, The Peregrine was the recipient of one of the most prestigious literary prizes of the time. Written in the form of a diary it charts Baker's almost daily observations of this extraordinary predator over the course of seven months, from autumn to spring.
