Learn about the wonderous tawny owl in this charming book

  4 stars – The Company of Owls is a beautifully gentle appreciation of the natural world in and around Grasmere, Cumbria. In particular, Polly documents the happenings of her local Tawny owls as they mate and raise owlets whilst she is home and able to observe them. This is a wondrous book especially as fluffy owlets branching leads to concern for their welfare.

The writing style is serene and poetic as documenting owl happenings is interspersed with appropriate facts on tawny owls, what was once understood to be facts about their nature, and what is happening in Polly's life at the time. A good blend of nature documentary and memoir. The company of Owls gave me peaceful balance to offset the hectic build up to Christmas. A wonderful gift for a nature lover, both touching and inspiring. A terrific find I truly enjoyed.
