Little in size, big in personality
07th May 2024
At least little owls seem to be doing okay, despite the dramatic increase of raptors like buzzards and kites.
Being diurnal probably helps as they can feed both day and night. Their muted plumage makes the perfect camouflage while hiding in a hole in a large sycamore or under the beams in one of the farm cart sheds.
I wondered where all the house sparrows had gone and why the house martins had moved out of the yard, they may be little in size but little owls are tenacious hunters.
I think it's a natural tendency for them to always look grumpy though!
