A Life With Buzzards
Robin Prytherch's passion as an ornithologist was for buzzards and he devoted much of his life to studying them and delighted in finding new and interesting things about them. This book brings together a collection of Robin's buzzard-themed Christmas cards which offer a personalised account of his endeavours to understand the lives of buzzards.
Robin Prytherch was a man with a passion for birds and one in particular – the common buzzard. For over 40 years, rain or shine, armed with a cheese sandwich, a flask of coffee, a pair of binoculars and a telescope, he headed out to watch them. 

During his studies he sketched and observed generations of buzzards and got to know their behaviour, individual characters and family relationships intimately. He delighted in finding new and interesting things to say about what one might think is already a very well-known species, and was eager to share his discoveries with others. So, starting in 1995, he decided to do just that by designing and sending out his own buzzard- themed Christmas cards. 

Sadly, Robin passed away in 2021 but, partially as a tribute to his memory, in this book they are all collected together in one place for others to enjoy.
