Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The first-ever monograph of a beautiful and and captivating nocturnal hunter.This is a book about the Tawny Owl and the main habitat in which it lives, the broad-leaved deciduous woodlands and forests of central Eurasia. This fine bird - night-time screecher, scourge of voles and perpetual inhabitant of folklore - occurs in resident populations from southern Scandinavia down to North Africa and Iran in the south and from Portugal to Central Asia, with very closely related species occurring all the way to southern China. It is without doubt the most common owl species in Europe, but it remains mysterious; despite being the best-studied European owl, there remains much to learn about its ecology and behaviour.A classic Poyser monograph, The Tawny Owl includes introductory sections on evolution and taxonomy - including the fascinating possibility that the British population is well on its way to full species status followed by chapters on territoriality, sensory ecology, voice, diurnal activity, hunting behaviour and diet, nesting, chick development, population demographics, conservation and folklore.

Book Description Condition: NEW. 304, 8 page col plate section. 234x156mm. HB. NEW. . The haunting calls of the Tawny Owl can be heard from Scandinavia in the north of its range to North Africa in the south. Most people would consider it to be a common and widespread species throughout Europe, but populations in Britain at least are declining, and we need to understand more about the behaviour and ecology of this magnificent woodland bird if its future is to be secured.Jeff Martin has been studying owls for decades, and in this timely book he combines his personal observations together with those of other ornithologists and a comprehensive review of the literature, resulting in some surprising revelations. It was not long ago, for example, that the Tawny Owl was considered to be one of the most nocturnal of all owl species, but in recent years it has been observed sunbathing, calling and even hunting in broad daylight.
