By Martin Windrow
Martin Windrow’s older brother and his wife own a farm in
the countryside of England near the town of Kent called Water Farm. His brother is a falconer and his wife has a
pet owl that she keeps in the house.
After an extended visit to his brother’s farm, Martin couldn’t resist
the desire to have an owl of his own.
His first attempt ended with his owl flying away from the ‘bird sitter’
when Martin was out of town. His second
attempt was a fifteen year success story.
What a delightful book! This type
of relationship with a wild bird is every child’s dream (and mine). This book is very eye opening regarding what
life would be like with a wild bird.
Some aspects are life changing and wonderful and some are a bit
disgusting. It is very obvious that
Martin felt that the wonderful aspects far outweighed the less wonderful. Fiction is fun but a true story such as this
tops any imaginary story.
