Hi Graham and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.
Hopefully someone else will be able to help you with your search for Little Owl, my track record isn't that good for them.... saw my only one two years ago in Norfolk (with help LOL ). You could try posting in the Information Wanted forum.
I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

Hi Graham, in my previous farming life, I used to see or hear Little Owls almost daily, I would recommend going out in the evenings at any time of year as this is when they start calling and communicating with each other and learn to recognise the call ( like a yapping small dog ), they seem to prefer farmland Grazing or arable with hedgerows interspersed with the occasional mature or dead tree also check fence lines as they often like to perch on the posts, someone on here may give you a specific site for south Devon, but in my experience they can be found almost anywhere in the right habitat...Good luck and let us know

Hi Graham. Welcome to BirdForum. Here in Wales they seem to very localised - I've not seen one this year. Info. doesn't seem to be readily available due to potential disturbance. I think I read on Twitter that the famous Portland birds have left due to disturbance.
