It had been a few years since I photographed a Eurasian Pygmy Owl (Glaucidium passerinum) for the last time. Had it on the wish list for this autumn/winter, and as it seemed that there were a few around in the wider area of Helsinki my hopes grew... and got lucky.

 

The Eurasian Pygmy Owl is the smallest owl in Europe and sits here on top of the remains of a fairly normal sized Silver Birch (Betula pendula). Think it shows well how small this owl is, similar in size as a Blackbird. Happy Days!
