Deer Watch- Richard Prior

This book is an invaluable guide to anyone interested in deer and exploring the countryside.
We like to think of ourselves as a nation of animal lovers, yet how many people can name the six species of deer that live in the wild in Britain? With the new right-to-roam laws and the increased population of deer, this book is an invaluable guide to anyone exploring the countryside. The deer are there for those who have eyes to see and know what to look for. In Deer Watch you can share the lifetime's experience of one of the country's leading deer experts. Learn how to match your powers of observation against the finely turned senses of some of our most elusive and most beautiful mammals.

This book not only provides factual information on one of our most interesting animals, but will also help the keen nature lover to see the deer that so often go unnoticed.

Reviews:
'Richard Prior has long been regarded as one of the country's leading experts on deer in this book he shares his knowledge in an easily accessible manner. The book contains ideas of where to go, what to look for, how to go about it and what equipment you will need.' Shooting Gazette

'...if you want only one book about the six species, the life cycles of deer, the signs they leave and how to find then, then this book would be ideal. It would be extremely useful as a starter book for someone who has expressed an interest in deer and equally useful to the more experienced person as a 'dip-in' reference book. Do I recommend it? Without hesitation.' Deer

'A new revised edition of an excellent book from our best known, and most qualified, author on the subject. A fascinating and incredibly useful reference book for all of us who enjoy watching deer. Origins, history and the species we see today, and where and when we are most likely to see them.' Fieldsports
