Little Owl

A snippet of information from someone recently, lead to this location, not far from home, to find a cheeky little fluffball, in the shape of a little owl.

I have tried on several occasions to get a shot, and on Sunday my efforts were rewarded, when it popped out of its usual hiding place, and sat in the open, on a branch.

Mostly it seemed to be sleeping, but occasionally it would peer over at me, to make sure I was still in the car, or perhaps at someone driving by.

I watched it for about an hour - a beautiful creature.

Congrats on getting this bird; :t: They really are very elusive; I'd love a shot of one.
 
Great catch. We've several pairs locally but try as I may they haven't been very obliging lately.
 
Nice capture...good when you can glean some information of folk, so you can 'spot' something new locally, which otherwise you'd never know about
 
Well done Peter!! great patience and following up!! Reward a brilliant little Owl image , hope you got more to post :t::t::t:
 
I have, as it happens! And still got a few more goldies in stock... ;)

Thanks all. If we *ever* get any nice weather on a weekend, I'll be trying for a more colourful shot of this character.
