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!!!

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!
Better than not at all I suppose?

  2. Those are great snowy owl images. A really cute-looking bird!

    Managed to get some of my own yesterday, but nearly ran into a disaster - twice!

    Keep up the good work!
