The nature details are fantastic. Apparently people still prowl around Dorset trying to find the exact area where it's set!
The "let's see if I can do this" is also something I've seen in other British books with on-the-surface-similar heroes - they're so above messy emotions, all they care about is the joy of the hunt. It was so neat for me to not know where that was going and to be kept thinking "Is this guy supposed to be unreliable?"
