Black Ops and Beaver Bombing: Adventures with Britain's Wild Mammals Fiona Mathews

From central Glasgow to rural Wiltshire, a husband-and-wife team track down Britains rarest and most enigmatic animals.

'Weasely my favourite book of the year.' Dave Goulson, author of Silent Earth

A COUNTRYFILE AND WATERSTONESBEST NATURE BOOK OF 2023

Britain is teeming with wildlife, often in the most unexpected places. There are quarries where rare bats hang
out with pot-smoking teens. In Glasgows urban parks water voles are thriving without water. Our coastlines are bustling with grey and harbour seals.

Thats the good news. The bad news is that a quarter of British mammals are at imminent risk of extinction.

Tim Kendall and Fiona Mathews take us on a safari unlike any other. Armed with binoculars, a Thermos and, regrettably, an inexhaustible supply of puns, they travel from Scotland to the Isles of Scilly in search of their elusive subjects.

Youll find answers to questions you never thought to ask:

  • Do pine marten droppings really smell like Parma Violets?
  • Should we give squirrels access to family planning?
  • And what do wild boar have in common with a certain royal?

Black Ops and Beaver Bombing is a celebration of Britains marvellous mammals, and a rallying cry to save them.

* BBC Wildlife Magazine *

Delightful The authors sadness is clear, yet the text is more readable because they dont take themselves too seriously, and scatter the text with memorable details.

-- Irish Times

Everything you could hope for in a book about our beleaguered native mammals. Elegiac, informative and funny; some truly magical encounters in the wild; an almost baffled indignation at our institutional and collective failures of policy and imagination; and best of all some actual solutions.

-- Peter Fiennes, author of Oak and Ash and Thorn

'Packed full of useful information and acutely up to date As she's one of the ablest mammalogists of our age, it's well worth listening to Fiona Mathews. I would heartily recommend this book to all.'

-- Derek Gow, author of Bringing Back the Beaver

This book is, or should be, a big wake-up call to anyone who hasnt already realised that Britains native mammals are in trouble Black Ops and Beaver Bombing provides an entertaining and informative look at some of our native mammalian species as well as the wider issues associated with species conservation in Britain. It should be required reading for anyone with a passing interest in our native wild mammals as well as for those who would like to do more to help with conservation. I particularly hope that it will be read by the politicians and other people who are in a position to make positive changes to reverse the decline of our native mammals.'

-- GreenSpirit Magazine
