Overview

The Secret Life of Owls Mysterious. Majestic. Slightly unsettling. Owls: they glide through the night like ghosts, they hoot like they know something you don't, and they can swivel their heads way too far round. But what's really going on behind those golden eyes? This book takes you deep into the shadowy world of owls - a world of moonlit hunts, silent feathers, and some truly gruesome dining habits. You'll meet the full cast: from the barn owl and tawny to the long-eared, short-eared, and frankly baffled-looking little owl. You'll learn what they eat (brace yourself), where they nest (not always where you think), and how they raise a brood of fluffy, bug-eyed owlets without completely losing their cool. We'll explore owl myths from around the world, decode the eerie language of hoots, screeches and bill-clicks, and follow these remarkable birds through the seasons - from wintry dusk patrols to summer nest chaos. You'll also find out what owls are up against today, and what you can do to help, whether you've got a garden, a field, or just a good pair of ears. There's a sound guide, a seasonal owl diary, and more curious trivia than you can shake a vole at. Perfect for night owls, nature lovers, and anyone who's ever looked up at a tree and wondered, ""Was that a branch... or something watching me?"" After this, you won't just hear the hoot. You'll know what it means.
