Pine Marten (2025)
Offering new insights into how they grow, learn and live, this book delves deep into the secretive behaviour of one of our rarest and most elusive mammals. It covers Pine Marten social interactions, courtship, mating, nesting and kit rearing, feeding and diet, as well as relationships with other wildlife. It also examines the considerable advantages of having these animals around and why it is in our interest to help them.
Pine Martens are slowly starting to increase their numbers and expand their range in Britain and Ireland as conservation efforts help them recover. There are now more sightings, while interest in what these animals do and why is greater than ever. This book uniquely uses photography to show (not tell) the reader all aspects of Pine Marten behaviour – uncovering these mammals’ private life and shining light into the darkness of the night. The candid images allow the reader to experience this magnificent animal close up as never before. Aimed at amateur naturalists and experts alike, this groundbreaking book provides fascinating observations and a wealth of information.
Where The Fish Are (2009)
Offer the right bait, lure, or fly in the right place at the right time. An impressive body of scientific research shows how fish respond to daily and seasonal changes in weather, light, temperature, and food availability and how they react to color, shape, movement, scent, and sound. These behaviours determine not only where you find fish but when and what they will eat once you find them. Now, for the first time, fisheries biologist and angler Daniel Bagur has distilled the scientific research into easy-to-follow advice on how to find and catch fish, including:
Where and when gamefish gather
How they use their senses to detect food and avoid predators
How feeding behaviour changes in response to fluctuations in turbulence, temperature, light, and noise
How you can target these behaviors with flies, rigs, and tactics that catch more and bigger bass, trout, and other freshwater and saltwater fish
