An extract from AJ Baker's classic, The Peregrine (HarperCollins, 2015) - October 12th. Read by MIchael Blackburn.

Baker's work is more than a nature book - it's the finest piece of writing by an English author since the end of the Second World War. It transcends its genre. In this extract Baker recounts following a peregrine to the shore where it attacks and kills a dunlin.
