Le Bruant jaune se nourrit principalement de graines d'herbes et de céréales de différentes espèces. Les graines sont picorées sur le sol, mais en automne, les oiseaux se posent sur les tiges des céréales pour atteindre les grains. Il sautille sur le sol, souvent avec une posture accroupie.
Il consomme aussi des invertébrés, surtout des insectes, en particulier pendant la reproduction pour nourrir les jeunes. Il capture des sauterelles, des phalènes, des chenilles, des mouches, des pucerons, des scarabées, des cigales et des araignées.

The Yellowhammer feeds mainly on grass seeds and cereals of different species. The seeds are pecked on the ground, but in autumn, the birds land on the stalks of the grain to reach the kernels. He hops on the ground, often with a crouched posture.
It also consumes invertebrates, especially insects, especially during breeding to feed the young. It captures locusts, moths, caterpillars, flies, aphids, beetles, cicadas and spiders.

This small owl was introduced to the UK in the 19th century. It can be seen in the daylight, usually perching on a tree branch, telegraph pole or rock. It will bob its head up and down when alarmed. In flight it has long, rounded wings, rapid wingbeats and flies with a slight undulation.
Breeding Bird Survey data suggest that little owl numbers are declining, with the UK population estimated to be down by 24 per cent between 1995 and 2008. What they eat: Small mammals and birds, beetles and worms.
The little owl can be found in England and Wales, with a few in southern Scotland. It likes lowland farmland with hedges and copses, parkland and orchards. Most common in central, southern and south eastern England and the Welsh borders (Courtesy RSPB).

The Little Owl is not a native species, having been introduced to Britain in the 1870s, but it appears to have occupied a vacant niche without having any detrimental impact on other species. Numbers and breeding distribution increased gradually, reaching an estimated breeding population of between 4,000 and 8,500 pairs at the time of Project Barn Owl. The current distribution extends across England, north to the Scottish borders and west into Wales, where it is largely confined to Anglesey and to eastern parts of the country. There have been very few records from Ireland.
Pairs remain on their breeding territories throughout the year, with territorial calling evident during autumn – when young birds are searching for breeding territories – and again during spring. Small cavities are favoured for breeding, these often located within hedgerow trees or the walls of old agricultural buildings. Favoured nesting chambers tend to be located some distance from the cavity entrance and with little daylight reaching them. The male will often perch close to the nest cavity while his mate is incubating her clutch of eggs.
Little Owls often hunt from a perch, taking small mammals and large invertebrates, including earthworms, cockchafers and other beetles. There is evidence to suggest that breeding success is linked to the availability of small mammals, though some pairs evidently do well on other prey; a pair breeding on the island of Skomer, for example, took a large number of Storm Petrels (Courtesy BTO).

Most often you need lots of lens to capture good wildlife images, trying to get close without disturbing the subject. But occasionally the bird surprises you and comes too close. We were trying to photograph this secretive Least Bittern at some distance, while it hid in the tall grass. It suddenly flew towards us and landed in a nearby tree. As a hardened photographer I should have removed my teleconverter, but alas I panicked and only got a head shot. I'll take it though.
