Aug 6, 2019: Little Owl

A Little Owl is little, only about seven inches tall, so it's a battle to pull this worm from the ground to feed her chicks.

So with three chicks back at the nest, this normally nocturnal Little Owl made a daytime outing to rustle up dinner – but at just 7in tall, she faced something of a fight to get it home. She spent several minutes unsuccessfully wrestling an earthworm from a field near Cardiff. Eventually, however, her hard work was rewarded and she whisked the unfortunate creature home to her chicks, who were nesting in a nearby dry stone wall.

Nice click Bruce:thumb:

Hoo says owls are nocturnal?

Lets worm our way out of this.

Maybe it's just all of those Giants in Cardiff that make the Little Owl seem so little.

This story is a bit of a s-t-r-e-t-c-h- if you ask me....

Having seen the Cardiff Giant, (currently residing in Cooperstown NY) I can tell you that this owls are much more palpable. Plus, there travel sized, for your snacking convenience!

Damn, at 7" this couldn't be more than an appetizer.

...as the actress said to the bishop....

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can caaaall meeee Owl

That's good !

Off the subject: I saw "Clash of the Titans" last night. The owl only appeared once and I am kind of disappointed. It also looks like the owl from the original!
I am glad to see this iotd as I have had owls on the brain. ;)

You just know the other end of that worm popped ol' Owl Bundy right in his all-seeing eye.

The Little Owl has a Little Wing.
