Little Owl (f)
Little Owl / athene noctua. Suffolk. 17/05/23.
'WHAT'S OCCURING OUT THERE.'
My third visit to the Little Owl nesting site this Spring.
As previously, the female was encouraged to start hunting by a visit from her mate, though no calls from him this time.
Yet again, she took her time to reach the edge of the entrance pipe. In this image, she was almost there and had started to raise her body up a little to survey the immediate surroundings.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
