Happened to find this Little Owl perched on an old stone barn, managed a few shots before he was scared off by a motorist sounding their horn, some people have no consideration just because i was blocking the farm entrance ! She did appologise when she saw the Owl fly off though.

Cute little owl. Is that what it's called, a "Little Owl"?
