Little Owl and young
One of the few I managed with the male. He would only feed about once to the female,s 5 visits. She was taking food off him away from the nest too. This chick was the youngest and the last to fly, and this was the last I saw of them at the nest hole. Taken in the late evening.

I think this is one of the best of this series, John. I love the way both owls are looking at you - the small one looks as though it is trying to work out whether you are edible!

Hi John,

I agree with David, this is by far the best of the series, fantastic to get both the adult and young on the same perch. Top drawer shot JR.
