You know all those belting award winning Little Owl photos that you see of them with really uncluttered backgrounds in the late evening sun when their eyes glow like angry wasps? You know the ones.
Great aren't they?
Well this is what you get if you find a Little Owl with a manky eye on top of a road sign that is next to a hedge first thing in the morning. When your camera is zipped up in the bag and set up for what you were doing yesterday lunchtime.
I've gone past this junction well over a thousand times on the way to work, and I have never EVER seen a Little Owl. A Barn Owl a few hundred yards further up in a harsh winter, yes. But not a Little Owl. This is the first I have seen on a commute. I shall dawdle through this section of the Norfolk countryside in future.*
Great, isn't it?
*Obviously I stay within the prescribed speed limits at all times. Absolutely Officer. In the future I shall just be more annoying to other motorists who need to get to work NOW!!! Woe betide anyone who tailgates me in this particular parish!
