Description
When Martin Windrow met the tawny owlet that he christened Mumble, it was love at first sight. Raising her from a fledgling, through adolescence and into her prime years, Windrow recorded every detail of their time living together - secretly - in a south London tower block, and later in a Sussex village. This is the touching, intriguing and eccentric story of their 15-year relationship.
