Accipiter Press's current publications are Hong Kong Nature Walks: The New Territories and Hong Kong Nature Walks: Kowloon, Hong Kong & Outlying Islands. Together, they describe 39 different nature walks in the HKSAR, many of which are suitable for families. The text and photographs are designed to enable observant walkers to identify a large percentage of the plants and animals that they come across on their forays into the Hong Kong country-side. Details can be found on the Publications page on this site as well as the Publications page at Hong Kong Nature Walks. A new coffee-table book: Mai Po: The Seasons - A Photographic Essay was released in November 2014.
A photobook of contemporary images from the southwest of England called Coast (August 2015) is available in PDF format for free download from the Publications section on this website.
Accipiter Press takes its name from the family of birds of prey known as the Accipitridae, more specifically from the genus in that family that are usually referred to in English as Sparrowhawks and Goshawks. These raptors are characterised by their rounded wings and longish tails. They tend to be rather secretive in their woodland habitat. Five species occur in Hong Kong; three of these are birds of passage, two are resident. The bird shown above is the resident Crested Goshawk Accipiter trivirgatus. This photograph was taken at Fung Yuen, Tai Po.
