At the time of writing this book, the British countryside was shrinking annually by an area the size of Warwickshire, In this book Garth Christian traces vividly the decline of key species such as the nightingale, cuckoo, peregrine falcon, sparrow hawk, red squirrel, hedgehog, weasel and stoat, together with the apparent increase of others such as the badger, fox, hare and several kinds of deer. He focuses on the then urgent need for balanced conservation.
