Title: A subject covered by one who knows.
Review: I was very excited about this book - if only because Eric Hosking's reputation had preceded him. Just as soon as it arrived I knew I had an excellent book to review. Bearing in mind that I actually keep various species of owls and also attempt to photograph them in the wild, I was already aware of some of what this author had to say. It is, however, a testament to this man's overall knowledge that I began to learn something about owls from the very first page.A quick glance at the contents reveals the way in which the book is laid out. We commence with chapters on; The Fascination of Owls, their Exploits, Way of Life, Breeding, The Tawny Owl and the Barn Owl in Close-up and finally a Gallery of Owls in which so many different species are shown and explained.This book contains a lot of information about Owls in general and two species in particular - all of which is supported by some excellent photography.NM
