Macdonald was born in 1970, the child of Daily Mirror photojournalist Alisdair Macdonald, and grew up in Surrey.
Her books include Shaler's Fish (2001), Falcon (2006), H is for Hawk (2014), and Vesper Flights (2020).
She was a research fellow at Jesus College, Cambridge from 2004 to 2007, and is an affiliated research scholar at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge.
Macdonald has written and narrated several radio programmes, and appeared on television in the BBC Four documentary series, Birds Britannia, in 2010.
She is best known as the author of H is for Hawk, which won the 2014 Samuel Johnson Prize and Costa Book Award; in 2016, it won the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger in France.
Macdonald received critical acclaim for H is for Hawk, including the 2014 Samuel Johnson Prize for non-fiction and the Costa Book Award.
The book—which also became a Sunday Times best-seller—describes the year Macdonald spent after the death of her father training a Northern goshawk named Mabel, and includes biographical material about the naturalist and writer T. H. White.
Macdonald's goshawk, Mabel, died in 2014.

In H is for Hawk: A New Chapter, part of BBC's Natural World series in 2017, she trained a new goshawk chick.
Writing about her childhood for The Guardian in 2018, Macdonald said, "'I grew up in Camberley, a Victorian town on the A30 in Surrey. It was made of pine forests, golf courses, elderly army officers with parade ground voices, Conservative clubs and tea dances. In 1975 my parents had bought a little white house in Tekels Park, a private estate near the town centre. It was owned by the Theosophical Society. My parents were journalists and knew nothing of theosophy, but they loved the Park, and I did too. No place has so indelibly shaped my writing life'."
Macdonald went on to study English at Cambridge University.
Macdonald presented the BBC Four documentary, The Hidden Wilds of the Motorway, in 2020.
That same year saw the publication of a fourth book, Vesper Flights, a collection of essays about "the human relationship to the natural world".

Macdonald lives in Hawkedon, Suffolk.
