À propos de l'auteur

Donald Watson was renowned as both a pre-eminent artist of wild south-west Scotland and as a talented field ornithologist. Following service in the Burma campaign from 1944 to the war's end, Donald put his talent as a bird artist to good use, illustrating many books, and producing a number of superb paintings of wild places - moors, estuaries and heaths. Meanwhile, he continued his scientific studies, becoming president of the Scottish Ornithologists' Club, with this culminating in his great masterpiece, 1977's The Hen Harrier. Later in life he continued to paint and publish, with his last book, In Search of Harriers, published shortly after his death in 2005.
