He’s at it again. Little Owl singing in trees behind house last night #littleowls #cheshirebirding #ukbirding #pwc2026

Little Owl box installed on gable end of our garage today. A nice floor covering of bark & dried leaves. For those wondering about my OCD it’s off centre as I used two existing holes from a defunct alarm system. Hopefully they’ll find it #Littleowls #cawos

Little Owl box almost ready to go up on gable end of our garage. Grey Squirrels taking over all boxes on farmland & we’ve had L Owl regularly in garden & squirrel won’t be able to get in! Fingers crossed 🤞 #Littleowls

Pleased to recently find one of our local Little Owl back in one of their regular trees after being evicted by Barn Owls for the last two years. I’ve heard a pair calling so hopefully they’ll breed #pwc2026 #ukbirding #littleowls

Crepuscular you say?
Same location, as darkness falls - just before / just after

Volume up. Sitting in the house whilst it’s still pitch black outside & heard Little Owl calling from fields in front of us. Glad to know they’re still around but haven’t discovered where yet #ukbirding #cheshirebirding #littleowls

A dark scene looking up into a bare tree with a heavily weathered branch crossing the scene from lower left corner to just above the middle of the right edge. Even though the sun has just set, the background is a tapestry of blurred Autumn-coloured leaves, the yellow being the most prominent. Patches of deep blue sky show through the bokeh leaves. Two little owls are perched on the branch. They are sitting close together, their bodies at a fourty five degree angle to the viewer, but facing straight down the lens of the camera. The bigger of the owls, sat on the left, is the female. Her feathers are puffed up creating a rugby ball like profile. The male sitting to the right is shorter and more slender. His eyes are wide showing the yellow colour that tells us that these are owls that hunt in daylight as well as dusk. In common with almost every little owl that I have encountered, they both glare at me with such a grumpy expressions. And that's what makes them so very endearing! Here's the RSPB's description of a little owl - This small owl was introduced to the UK in the 19th century. It can be seen in the daylight, usually perching on a tree branch, telegraph pole or rock. It will bob its head up and down when alarmed. In flight, it has rounded wings, rapid wingbeats and flies with a slight bounce. Breeding Bird Survey data suggests that Little Owl numbers are declining, with the UK population estimated to be down by 24 per cent between 1995 and 2008. It’s 21 to 23 cm long, with a wingspan of 54 to 58cm. The feathers are cream/buff, brown and white, with yellow legs and a brown/black beak.

OWL-asis in a feathery face off! A pair of little owls are seen in a heated argument, reminiscent of the Gallagher brothers. The birds were pictured on the Isle of Sheppey, UK.

It’s been a challenge to get a photo of one of our local #LittleOwls as they rarely come out in daylight. Just about enough light at 9.26pm last night to get a photo, so I’m very happy 😁#NorthNorfolk #NorfolkBirding

Gorgeous to watch 2 juv #littleowls recently - one ignoring the camera and the other braving a sneaky peek! #wildlife #photography #wildlifephotography #nature #owls #Yorkshire #cute #RSPB

It's interesting that Hardy chose the Little Owl @emilyjoachim.bsky.social - the bird was only successfully released in the English countryside in the mid 1870's (earlier attempts failed).
The Little Owl must have therefore been a very "trendy" bird when TH commissioned it in the church.

Looks like we’ve lost our last pair of Little Owls around the village (3 pairs, 7 years ago).
Does anyone know what the rapid decline is about?

I found 3 different #littleowls today - all sitting in the sunshine after all the rain from yesterday. Here's one of them... #owls #sunshine #Yorkshire #birds #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #barn #nature #RSPB

This is a little video from a very special early morning with a juv little owl. Using my car as a hide, I sat very still & quiet & the juv just came closer & closer..turn your sound up too :) #special #owls #littleowls #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifevideo #Yorkshire #earlymorning

Taken a couple of years ago - a lucky sighting of 3 juv little owls & an adult #gorgeous #sweet #barn #littleowls #owl #juvenile #birds #wildlife #free #nature #Yorkshire #wildlifephotography #photography @rspb.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social

The female Little Owl outside the window - they are always much more wary if there's also a Tawny Owl about.
