The Little Owl,Athene noctua, stands out as a remarkable model for biological and conservation research, despite the limited understanding of its basic biology compared to other bird species. This captivating bird is widely distributed across Europe, Asia, and North Africa, but unfortunately, its populations are currently declining, making it crucial to conduct comprehensive studies on its behavior and ecology. This extensively revised and updated second edition presents substantial new long-term data on population dynamics, behavioral observations, and breeding biology of the Little Owl. The authors delve into its diverse ecology, genetics, subspecies, and population status across different countries, providing a comprehensive overview. Additionally, they outline a research strategy and monitoring program to further enhance our understanding of this fascinating species.

Exceptional illustrations, featuring all fourteen subspecies, encompass embryonic and chick development, feather growth, and moult. These high-quality drawings offer valuable insights into the management of Little Owls, making this book an invaluable resource for academic researchers. However, its accessible and straightforward style also appeals to amateur ornithologists and enthusiasts alike, who are eager to delve deeper into the world of these remarkable birds.
