Thanks Tragus, I'll be glad to enter them in the reference section. By the way do you happen to have a date and number of pages for these books?

Eventually I'll try to put a quick review to all the books, so any other comments together with the usual book info would be appreciated for further recommendations

Thanks all.

[Tragus]

Thanks Tragus, I have Running With The Fox, it's a great book.

Speaking of Wildlife Care, It maybe a good idea to add a entry in the Reference Section.

Nothing too serious, maybe tips/advice on what to do if you find and injured animal - road casualties etc, and maybe a list of contact details for RSPCA/Wildlife Hospitals in each county.

And a list of recommended books of course!

Any further thoughts?
