This monograph on the twelve owl species that inhabit the southern African subregion has been written by a leading specialist on birds of prey and illustrated by one of South Africa's best-known bird artists.
The book has been superbly illustrated by Simon Calburn, who portrays each species in masterly detail in at least one-large format colour plate, which places the bird within a meticulously executed example of its habitat. The eighteen large paintings are supported by forty colour sketches and numerous pencil drawings that illuminate details of anatomy, posture, behaviour and the stages of growth of the young.
Standard edition-Hardcover with Dustcover- with 184 pages text supported by the plates and illustrations. Boxed.
Box lightly rubbed. Book near fine and no marks.
