Sinossi

"Hawk Motion Detection" explores the remarkable visual abilities of hawks, specifically focusing on their unparalleled skill in detecting and intercepting moving prey. This exploration reveals the fascinating biological mechanisms, behavioral adaptations, and ecological factors that contribute to their hunting success. One intriguing aspect is the specialized structures in their eyes and brains that enable exceptional motion detection, allowing them to track fast-moving targets from great distances. The book not only illuminates the intricacies of avian vision but also offers potential inspiration for advancements in artificial vision and drone technology. 

 
The book takes an integrated approach, examining the neurobiology of hawk vision, their hunting behaviors, and the evolutionary pressures that have shaped their capabilities. It progresses from an overview of avian visual systems to detailed analyses of neural mechanisms, hunting techniques like soaring and stooping, and the ecological context driving these adaptations. By combining insights from laboratory experiments, field observations, and computational models, "Hawk Motion Detection" provides a holistic understanding of how hawks master the art of motion detection to thrive in their ecological niche.

    ‘Focuses a razor light on the plight of one of our most iconic birds. Inspirational!’ Tim Birkhead 
    Curlews are Britain’s largest wading bird, known for their evocative calls which embody wild places; they provoke a range of emotions that many have expressed in poetry, art and music. 
    A bird stands alone on the edge of a mudflat. Its silhouette is unmistakable. A plump body sits atop stilty legs. The long neck arcs into a small head, which tapers further into a long curved bill. The smooth, convex outlines of this curlew are alluring. They touch some ancestral liking we all have for shapes that are round and smooth. 
    Over the last 20 years numbers in the UK have halved; the Eurasian Curlew is one of our most endangered birds. With a quarter of the world population breeding in the UK and Ireland, this is nothing short of a disaster. The curlew is showing all the signs of being the next Great Auk. 
    In Curlew Moon, Mary Colwell takes us on a 500-mile journey on foot from the west coast of Ireland to the east coast of England, to discover what is happening to this beautiful and much-loved bird. She sets off in early spring when the birds are arriving on their breeding grounds, watches them nesting in the hills of Wales and walks through England when the young are hatching. She finishes her walk on the coast of Lincolnshire when the fledglings are trying out their wings. This is also the place many curlews will return to for the winter months. 
    This evocative book chronicles Colwell’s impressive journey, with beautiful illustrations by Jessica Holm, weaving a gentle tale of discovery interspersed with the natural history of this iconic bird that has fascinated us for millennia – and so desperately needs our help. 
    In Curlew Moon, Mary Colwell presents a compelling case for the conservation of the curlew species. The book, a best-seller in the genre of nature writing, emphasises the importance of environmental protection and the role we can play in safeguarding the future of animals. 
    For fans of Raynor Winn (Landlines), Isabella Tree (Wilding), John Lewis-Stempel (England), John Muir (John Muir ), and Derek Gow (Hunt for the Shadow Wolf).

    By the end you can explain how we got here, and why the next decades matter, in your own words. Press play and step into the story that is still being written.
