This talk is packed full of information on the birds, their habitats and nesting sites. It also explodes many myths surrounding these specialist hunters.

The talk is split down into the different species of British owls, covering population statistics, history, conservation issues etc and then moves on to the different ‘song’ (calls) that each owl uses for territorial, alarm and courtship communication. This fascinating array of sound files is a very popular part of the show.

A very important aspect of this talk is looking at habitats for owls. Habitat is the areas that the owl lives, hunts and breeds. Species can have varying habitat requirements, dictated by nest site requirements and diets. This part of the talk is of great use to landowners who wish to encourage owls onto their land.

In addition, the work of conservation charity, the Hawk and Owl Trust is covered, including the installing of nest boxes for owls, issues affecting the bird’s survival in the wild.

In line with all my other talks, the presentation consists of over 100 different images of owls, 99.9% of them taken by me, and combined with the high quality projection equipment, this guarantees a very pleasing visual content to the show.

Formerly 'British Owls & The Work of the Hawk and Owl Trust, I have been giving this talk for over three years now, and it has proved to be one of my most popular bookings.

It is surprising how many people love owls but never see them, or indeed know where and when to see them.
