Reglular readers of my blog will know that, having found the remains of what I believe to be the male Little Owl at my LO Site No. 02, I was concerned for the wellbeing of the female. The worry was that, if she was on eggs, she would not move from them to feed herself (or any chicks that hatched). Late on Monday evening I returned to the area (having been 'laid up' for a couple of days with a throat and chest bug) and, to my delight, at dusk, a Little Owl showed beside the barn (as shown below). I'm not certain which one this was (both owls looked very similar at this site), but I am assuming, for the time being, that this is the female - partly due to circumstances and partly due to the bird looking fairly long at the tail end.
