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!!!

DAMP!!!!!!!

What a frustrating Sunday it has been so far, the weather here in Leicestershire has been absolutely atrocious over the last 24hrs with almost no let up in the rain, resulting in being totally bored and house bound!

So I thought I would make the most of the "inactive" time doing some tiding up of my images and files on the PC. I have been collating some info on my Little Owls and here is a pie chart showing the variety of nest locations I have so far found, I think it is self explanatory..........

Nest locations, double click on it for larger version.


Fingers crossed for some finer weather soon, can't do with not getting "owl n about"!!!!
