Book Review
Raptor Survey and Monitoring – Editor Gerard Malan.
This long awaited publication is now available through the Bird of Prey Program of EWT. Written and edited by Gerhard Malan, it also has contributions from Andrew Jenkins, Bill Howells, Ara Monadjem, Anthony van Zyl and Rob Simons. The book contains essential information to assist with the planning of surveys and will be of real value to clubs that are planning projects. The book is written in a form that is easy to read. Much of the technical information may be more relevant to the scientist but there is plenty of information that will assist less academic researchers. There is information on how to find nests and how to survey various types of habitat. I would recommend that all the clubs should obtain a copy as should any Falconer planning to undertake a raptor survey. It is important that falconers continue to involve themselves in surveys as this information is necessary to justify our harvest of wild raptors.
