Little Owl

The real Oadby Owl......as one of the local pubs in Oadby is called the Oadby Owl.

A few pictures of the Little Owl that is less than one mile from my Leicestershire home

For a few weeks, local birder Paul Riddle and myself have been looking for Little Owl's in our local area of Leicestershire.  Paul is now into double figures.
One of the bids seen and subsequently photographed is this bird which is less than a mile from my home in Oadby.  The bird was quite happy sitting in these branches and I was pleased to get close enough for these pictures.  However I intend to return to try and get some better images where hopefully the owl is less obscured by branches.
