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 studyin 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!!!

Found one!
A bit of snow and a Little Owl, just what I'd been after.
This obliging owl took long enough to find, and I had him for all of 5 minutes!
Looking good! Cheers for meeting us the other week, been out a few times to the site you mentioned but no joy. Went to scotland for a week so haven't checked for a while. Check out my new blog I made ready for going to africa: http://kalahariblog.wordpress.com/ cheers.
Great this little ones in the snow !
ReplyDeleteThank you Michel
DeleteThose are great snowy owl images. A really cute-looking bird!
ReplyDeleteManaged to get some of my own yesterday, but nearly ran into a disaster - twice!
Keep up the good work!
Cheers buddy.
