Small and stern, the little owl was first introduced to the UK in the 1800s. Look out for them in trees overlooking grassland from where they swoop to catch small prey with their sharp talons. The little owl is very small it stands about six inches tall, which makes it about half the height of a tawny owl. It has an endearing habit of bobbing its head particularly when agitated and, like all owls, will tend to keep its body still whilst rotating and twisting its head to face in any direction.
The Little Owl is a species that prefers open country, favouring lowland habitats such as farmland, parkland and orchards. Being the UK’s smallest owl it is not much bigger than a Song Thrush but chunky in appearance. The upperparts are grey-brown and the plumage is often spotted with white. Here this Little Owl it is photographed against the warm background autumn colours flying on to one of its favourite feeding perches.
