No animal better symbolises the desire to get closer and the need to respect distance than the owl.
The silent approach of a white angel over a paddock is one of the most alluring images in the British countryside. The t’wit and the answering t’wo is a classic of the night. Both are tiny insights into the amazing lives of the owls that are found around us. Ghosts of the Night is a wonderful insight into every element of our British Owls – Barn and Tawny and their even more enigmatic cousins the Short-eared, Long-eared and Little. How well do they hear, how silently do they fly and how do they live in the ever changing countryside. Ghosts explains everything you have ever wanted to know about these amazing creatures.
