A pair of young Little Owls
A pair of young Little Owls. This small owl was introduced to the UK in the 19th century. It can be seen in the daylight, usually perching on a tree branch, telegraph pole or rock. It likes lowland farmland with hedges and copses, parkland and orchards, and is most common in central, southern and south eastern England, and the Welsh borders. It hunts at night and dawn and eats small mammals and birds, beetles and worms

EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the 1960s, this enchanting photograph showcases a pair of young Little Owls (Athene noctua) perched on a tree branch, their fluffy plumage a testament to their youth. The Little Owl, a small owl species introduced to the UK in the 19th century, can often be found in lowland farmland, parkland, and orchards, particularly in central, southern, and south eastern England, and the Welsh borders. These nocturnal hunters are most active at night and during dawn, preying on small mammals, birds, beetles, and worms with their sharp beaks and powerful talons. Despite their name, they are not uncommon to be seen during daylight hours, often perching on tree branches, telegraph poles, or rocks. Their distinctive round faces, large yellow eyes, and ear tufts make them a beloved sight in the natural world. The Little Owl's history in the UK is an interesting one, having been introduced for gamekeeping purposes but later becoming a protected species due to their declining numbers. Today, they continue to be a cherished part of the British wildlife scene. This photograph, a timeless snapshot of these captivating creatures, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and history of the natural world around us.
