This soon-to-be published book compiled by wildlife detective Ed Drewitt will showcase the range of pellets regurgitated by a range of different bird species, including owls, hawks, falcons and ravens plus waders - and even garden birds. The items found in them, such as small mammal skulls and bones, are analysed in detail, with the author's commentary accompanied by numerous colour illustrations. Extracting information from pellets has sound scientific value. It does not capture everything that a bird has been eating, but it goes a long way in revealing the diet of birds and how this may change over time, in different habitats and in different parts of the world. The book is due to be published in paperback at £28 by Pelagic Publishing on May 28 this year.
