From the renowned naturalist Stephen Moss, bestselling author of
The Robin, The Wren and The Swan comes a new instalment in his
beloved bird biography series. Uncover the secret life of owls
through this beautiful guide to these secretive and charismatic
birds. Owls are among the most mysterious birds in the world. Their
hauntingly beautiful calls and mostly nocturnal habits have long
captured our collective imagination, inspiring more superstitions,
folktales and myths than any other group of birds. Seven species of
owl - the tawny, little, barn, long-eared, short-eared, snowy and
eagle owl - can be found in the British Isles (out of sixteen
different kinds across Europe). They have lived alongside people
for thousands of years, yet we still know so little about their
day-to-day lives. Discover their fascinating lives, from the moment
they first hatch, to the way they hunt their prey and how they
raise the next generation. Explore the rich folklore they've
inspired around the world and learn how, with a bit of luck, you
can catch a glimpse of them yourself. With beautiful illustrations
throughout, and expert birdwatching tips, this eye-opening
biography reveals the hidden secrets of one of the world's most
famous and beloved birds.
