Owls of Europe by Wolfgang Scherzinger

Owls of Europe by Wolfgang Scherzinger

An essential compendium on the biology, identification, distribution and conservation of Europe's 13 species of owls. Owls are fascinating birds, with remarkable adaptations for their lives as nocturnal hunters. Covering the 13 species of owls that occur across the continent, Owls of Europe features detailed drawings of typical positions, behaviours and facial expressions, alongside more than 300 photos selected to demonstrate age and subspecific variation, colour phases and the birds in flight. This book includes up-to-date distribution maps and the latest European population estimates, along with detailed text on behaviour, voice, brood biology and juvenile development, life strategies, hunting techniques, choice of prey and habitat requirements for each species. It also explores human interactions with owls, from the threats posed to determined conservation efforts. Owls of Europe is an essential book for birdwatchers, professional ornithologists and those who simply love owls.
