Forlagets egen omtale:
In
the classic monograph mould, this study of Tyto alba is the product of almost 40
years field work by its authors and complementary observations by other
dedicated ornithologists in Britain, the USA and Europe. The result is a
detailed, balanced account based on intimate knowledge of the Barn Owl in
varying habitats in Britain, comparing, as appropriate, this race’s behaviour
with that of sub-species in other areas of the world.
There are major chapters on breeding and general behaviour, feeding,
distribution, etc, but voice is rightly given a full treatment. The text is
graced by Ian Willis’s fine drawings and there are 31 photographs plus a
colour frontispiece.
