Fantasic shot of a beautiful Owl. I always remember talking about Little Owls to my children. They thought the Owls in question were named something else. I had to explain to them that they are literally called Little Owl.

Hi Mark

thanks for looking. I dont think I have ever been fortunate enough to see any owl in the wild so it is nice to go to somewhere like BWC or HCT to see them up close

Demicav - you can imagine saying "see that lillte owl over there", yes but what is it called

What a lovely shot Stan. I was fortunate enough to see one of these beauties on Sunday just near Leighton Moss RSPB. I was looking for a Peregrine (which I later saw) but found one of these little guys instead. When I get round to downloading the pics at home I'll upload onto here. I was nowhere near close enough to get much detail, just a record shot really so it's great to see your fantastic image. Cheers

A brill pic of a brill bird. I havonly ever seen one of them but I will never forget it

Hi Kez and Gareth

thanks very much.

Gareth, did you get a shot of the peregrine, another one I have never seen in the wiild, if so lets have a look

Will do, as soon as I get chance to get on my home PC and sort through the pics. I know it won't be a great pic though as it was quite some distance away on a crag face. It was fantastic to watch them through a friend's zeiss scope though. I could have stayed all day

[Lance Morgan]

Excellent shot Stan looks really natural in that pic.

Again Stan another magnificent pic well done so clear and full of detail

[SKM]

thanks very much Bill and Lance

I have a number of shots like that which although probably nowhere near perfect, I like to keep just to show i saw the particular bird.

cracking shot buddy. I love little owls, seen them at different events but never in the wild as of yet

[SKM]

Hi stephen

thanks for looking.

I love little owls

there is just something about the little owls, there is one in the flying displays at the HCT and he has that lovely expression too
