Birds of prey/The coast of Britain

Welcome to the AQUILA summer double issue: great holiday reading!

Did you know the word Aquila comes from the most famous of our birds of prey, the Golden Eagle? Discover all 15 species in our topic and you'll be able to identify that raptor hovering by the roadside! Pictured on our cover this month is a Peregrine falcon, the fastest flying bird.

Also in this issue we look at the coast of Britain, we 'walk' to islands, explore lighthouses and find out about a very brave girl who saved lives at sea in the 19th century.

Go surfing with Kit, and read the final part of Murder in the Deep.

PLUS: Enjoy all your regular favourites in this holiday edition of AQUILA; readers' letters, jokes, reviews, competitions and puzzles.

Monthly topics for 2008: World War One, Autumn and Gravity.
