Little Owl
The Little Owl is a small owl, white-speckled brown above and brown-streaked white below. It has a large head, long legs and yellow eyes and its white “eyebrows” give it a stern expression.
The Little Owl can be seen during daylight, usually perching on a tree branch, telegraph pole, rock or building. It will bob its head up and down when alarmed. In flight it has long, rounded wings, rapid wingbeats and flies with a slight undulation.
The Little Owl is a bird which is resident in much of the temperate and warmer parts of Europe, Asia east to Korea and north Africa. It is not native to the UK but was first introduced in 1842 and is now naturalised there.
