Synopsis

Robin Page is a writer/farmer who sees in the country sportsmen a love of wildlife and a concern for its habitat with which he can readily identify. This new, updated edition of his classic book The Fox and the Orchid shows us how the link between the fauna and flora of our beautiful countryside is a complicated and delicate affair. How the fox, pheasant, duck, grouse, trout and other 'quarry' depend on the same fast diminishing natural surroundings as do the lark, the owl, the chalk-hill blue butterfly...and the orchid. The Fox and the Orchid contains a wealth of information on the role of hunting, shooting, stalking and fishing. It has been completely updated to reflect the current attitude to the countryside and shows how all who have the survival of our natural surroundings at heart should appreciate the influence that country sports have exerted and are still exerting to achieve this end.
