Of all our native birds, the owl holds a special power over our imagination. For some a talisman of good fortune, others a harbinger of doom, the image of the owl is an omen that appears across our folklore; a sign of witchcraft, medicine, the weather, birth and death. In his latest book, The Secret Life of the Owl, John Lewis-Stempel goes in search of this enchanting and elusive guardian of the night.
