Little Owl - big character

As promised, these shots are the continuation of the visit to the Cornish owl sanctuary on Sunday.  This tiny Little Owl was one of my favourites of the day.  Whilst the individual is captive, it showed all the characters of a wild bird, calling, eye contact, different poses etc and just reminded me of the days when you could watch them in the wild.  The last place I saw wild Little Owl was Stithians ten years ago, but now don't know of any in Cornwall.

  6. Absolutely tremendous shots of this little guy. I love the one where he's peeking through the hole and the lichen adds color too.

  8. I have to agree with Bobbster and Montana Girl -picture four is a lovely peek-a-boo shot. Sounds as though you had a good day there. Sam and I will have to try and get a day there.
