Here, Scott distills his observations into the first book devoted to this interesting and somewhat enigmatic species. Focusing on Long-eared Owls in Britain, 10 chapters present general information on appearance, population status, distribution, food habits, habitat and home range, breeding biology, behaviour, vocalisations, mortality and conservation.The book concludes with an appendix that catalogues diseases and parasites that have been documented in Long-eared Owls and another that lists scientific names of species mentioned in the text. The colour photographs by Scott are excellent, as are Dan Powell's black-and-white illustrations." The top corners have been pushed inwards, otherwise a very good book in a very good dustwrapper.
