little owl

I have taken this shot of little owl A. n. lilith in late afternoon around Sarakh town in Ne Iran , I hope like it With bestwishes in new year Babak

He rang this morning though to wish everyone Happy New Year. Some progress though. Last week the ISP sent someone to sort out his connection - only they couldn't get the new modem to work. All being well they're coming back on Monday to fit another new one - so hopefully he'll be back online...

Taken at Ogden Clough, Gtr Manchester

Little Owl. Photographed in the Negev area, while being ringed by the Eilat Bird Sanctuary staff.

If anyone went to the bird fair you may have seen a cut out of fat Yorkshire bloke at the entrance to a naquee, if so did you visit the Birds illustrated stand and get a free print. Heres one the other is in the gallery a few pages back. Little Owls are uncommen in Cornwall but when I lived in...

From earlier in the year, when I encountered it peeking out of a tree at me. Looked annoyed, for a change...

He is such a grump!!.....all I wanted to do was take his picture, but he kept flying around the fields and getting in a flap!!.....

Another capture from yesterday afternoon. They never look too happy with life or maybe it's just me they don't like ;)

Little Owl again I'm afraid. Maybe the last ones though in this setting as the farmer was collecting and carting away the rolls of straw this morning. They certainly seem to like this roll as it's the third day in a row they've been here. Just two here this morning though a third juvenile nearby.

Well almost in a row. The family of Little Owl on my local patch were enjoying the sunshine this morning. The first in several days. Earlier in the week the barley crop was harvested and the straw rolled into bales. They were sat by one of the bales no doubt hunting for mice. I thought at first...

Little Owl snoozing in the sunshine at Ipsou Monastery, Lesvos. A friend allowed me to put my camera body onto his 500mm lens (don't know what make etc it was).

This little fellow was in a tree on the hill to Choseley Drying Barns, we had been watching the Dotterels and were on our way down to Titchwell when we spotted him. He was quite obliging, posing for us.

Another of the ones from my local patch. I met up with a local birder this morning who hadn't seen Little Owl before let alone any local ones as they're pretty scarce in the County. True to form the first tree we approached one flew out and away and then the same thing happened at the next tree...

This is the 'Speedy Gonzalez' of the Little Owls on my patch. He has been dodging me for weeks and I'm worn out with his antics! This shot was taken from my car just a millisecond before he was off again!!

shoot in Miyun County,Beijing

While sat in the open packing up my camera at 9.58pm last night, this little owl came and sat on a branch above me, I could see no detailes as it was so dark I pointed my camera and took several shots he took no notice. I am please that these owls are still active in Westbury as I have not seen...

A pair of Little Owl have taken up residence on my local patch. I've always thought this fence line looked ideal for them to hunt from and sure enough today there were two of them sat on the fence posts. They probably do make good neighbours with the horses keeping the grass short making mice...

Same bird.
