Owls

by David Tipling, Jari Peltomaki

Owls command our attention. They are the quintessential emblem of darkness, evoking strong cultural responses. Northern Europe's 12 owl species range from the huge Great Grey, with a round head as large as a child's, to the tiny Pigmy Owl, possessing a strength and ferocity that belie its size. For Jari Peltomaki and David Tipling , two of the world's finest bird photographers, owls have become a passion. This book, Owls , explores the fascinating lives of owls, accompanied by riveting diary accounts from the authors' adventures photographing in Europe's wildest places. Encounters with owls are often fleeting - the hoot of a Tawny Owl emanating from a church yard or the white ghost-like flash of a Barn Owl momentarily caught in the headlights. Owls reveals their secret lives in spectacular pictures, many published here for the first time.

Ihanaa, viimeinkin lapsille sopiva uusi tietokirja pöllöistä. Suuret kuvat iso plussa, faktaakin riittävästi.
