... of Owls
No birds are more feared than owls: they are considered to be birds of ill-omen, harbingers of death, and their eerie hootings are enough to turn anyone's thoughts to ghosts. Why do they hoot? Can they see in the dark, and are they blinded by light? Do they all live in ivy-mantled towers?
HUGH FALKUS exposes some of the secrets of these mysterious birds with the help of DR. VAN DUK and PROFESSOR KARYL Voous. Amsterdam University; WILLIAM FOWLER ; JOHN PARSLOW , Nature Conservancy; DR. KATHLEEN TANSLEY ; ROBERT TULLOCH , Royal Society for the Protection of Birds
Produced by John Sparks
