Little Owl - Trying to cool down
When our holiday cottage in Norfolk mentioned Little Owls, I was sold. These were in a disused bit of the farm 50 metres away, and I didn't waste any before asking the farmer if I could setup a popup hide. So, holiday sorted. On this particular day, the owls had perched quite close to the hide and I had to crawl to it through stinging nettles (cue sleepless nights with stinging legs). It did however allow for some amazing Little Owl watching. Including this from an adult, who was overheating and therefore opening its mouth and panting to try and cool down.
