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!!!

Other Bird Species Gallery

Welcome to a selection of my other bird species images, every one is of a wild bird that I have been luckily enough to have encountered whilst conducting my surveys. Some encounters are opportunistic whilst the majority take many hours to capture.

I hope you enjoy!

    1. no images in "other birds gallery...." is that right?
    2. i thought owls couldn't afford for their feathers to get wet....? if so, how do the ground-nesting varieties cope?
