David Attenborough reads from J. A. Baker's masterpiece about the natural world. Now, it's December and the peregrine makes a kill, first it revels in a westerly gale.

The Peregrine was published over fifty years ago to critical acclaim and has inspired many writers of contemporary nature writing including Robert Macfarlane. Written in the form of a diary it charts Baker's observations of the peregrine's hunting life.
