The Complete Owl

Mike Leach

Non-members are very welcome at this FREE event, which is suitable for anyone interested in wild birds or conservation - you don't have to be an expert.

Dr Michael Leach is a zoologist, wildlife author and photographer. He has worked with animals on all 7 continents. He started as a BBC wildlife cameraman, filming more than 150 TV natural history programmes. He has written 38 wildlife books that have been translated into 22 languages.

This talk is based on Michael’s best-selling book of the same name. It reveals our resident British owls in folklore and fact. It looks as various owls and the special techniques they have to help them hunt. It dispels misleading myths and reveals the realities of an owl’s life. The talk is illustrated with dramatic high-speed photographs of flying owls.
