Eagle People Profiles - Mike Marchant
This week's guest blog comes from raptor enthusiast Mike Marchant who shares his journey of experiences from the smallest UK raptor to one of the largest!
My interest in raptors started when I was a kid growing up in Thirsk playing in the fields and near a small river behind by house. I used to watch Kestrels and the occasional Sparrowhawk and I loved how wild they were.
This is the 30th daily blog during Lockdown and I think we're all getting a bit sick!
“I came late to the love of birds. For years I saw them only as a tremor at the edge of vision. They know suffering and joy in the simple states not possible for us. Their lives quicken and warm to a pulse our hearts can never reach. They race to oblivion. They are old before we have finished growing.” “The Peregrine” by J.A.Baker
