Little Owl DSC_1754
Little Owl / athene noctua. Lincolnshire. 11/07/16.
Another session with the Little Owl family at a private site in Lincolnshire. The young had all fledged successfully and were exploring the immediate environment of the barn complex. The parent birds were highly visible though, flying around - and vocal too. One perched up on telegraph wires and started calling for at least 30 minutes non stop, but the youngsters wouldn't be drawn out. Eventually it flew down to perch on the old plough and glare in my direction instead.
