Owls of the World

Dr. Michael Leach has been a wildlife author and photographer for longer than he cares to admit. He has worked with wildlife on all 7 continents and is author of more than 60 books, translated into 25 languages. But, like so many of us, his ornithological passion is owls.

Of the approximate 250 species of owl alive today Michael has encountered over half – and is still looking for the rest. In this talk he looks at some of the most interesting species and tells of his adventures working with them around the globe for more than 30 years. We meet, amongst others, great horned, snowy, pygmy, spotted, saw-whet, great grey and spectacled owls. And, of course, biggest of all – the magnificent eagle owl. This event follows on from Michael’s previous talk The Complete Owl. 

We will be meeting in person in Room G44, in the Edith Morley Building, but you can also join remotely via Zoom if you prefer.  Please click here to join the meeting. You can join from 7.15 pm and the meeting will start at 7.30 pm.  You will be muted when you join; please stay muted except when you have been asked to unmute, for recent sightings, questions, etc.
