Little Owl in flight_w_8510

            Although mainly nocturnal, the little owl can be spotted in the day hunting invertebrates (especially worms), small mammals, reptiles, amphibians and small birds. It is often seen perched a telegraph pole, an old parkland tree, fence post, along a hedgerow, or on a rock;  from these positions, it quietly scans the ground for prey. When it spots something, it swoops down and catches its victim with either its claws or beak. 

Little Owls breed between March and August, forming monogamous pairs and nesting in hollow trees and often rock faces.
