Hi and welcome to my Blog, my name is Paul Riddle and I live in south Leicestershire, UK. Back in August 2007 my quest began to locate as many local Little Owl territories as possible. The driving force was a reported decline in the uk numbers so I thought I would do my bit and conduct a study in my area. After 7 years and countless hours out in the field I have detected over 200 different sites. With a thirst for a greater understanding of the owls a more comprehensive monitoring and nest box programme then commenced. This also now includes monitoring the local and very sparse population of Barn Owls, please pop back occasionally and catch up with the life and times of my owls and any other wildlife that I come across. I hope you enjoy your visit!!!

More SEO's

Another late visit to the SEO site, I got there late and the light was fading fast, the birds were mostly distant but they did come reasonably close on a couple of occasions. With the recent advice I'd received about my camera setting (thanks guys) I was now able to "lock on" to the birds for just that little bit longer which resulted in a few more "keepers".

God dam are these stunning birds......hope you agree?
