Описание: 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 owls - the tawny, little, barn, long-eared, short-eared, snowy and eagle owl [TM1] [SM2] - can be found in the British Isles [TM3] [SM4] (out of sixteen different kinds across Europe). They have lived alongside people for thousands of years[TM5] [TM6] [SM7] , 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 bird-spotting tips, this eye-opening biography reveals the hidden secrets of one of the world's most famous and beloved birds. [TM1]Check if capitalisation needed? ManEd [SM2]No as not used in the book text [TM3]'UK' is more of a statistical term. But maybe British Isles is incorrect.
IF so, go with United Kingdom, in full [SM4]I think British Isles is fine! [TM5]Can we put a definitive estimate, or no? If it's over 10,000 for instance, it's great to say. Please check with Stephen! [TM6]Or maybe just 'since early humanity'? [SM7]Not really - I think what we have is fine!
