Where to spot
Open countryside, farmland, orchards, parks, and ruins across Europe, Asia, and North Africa. It often tolerates human presence and can be found near settlements.
How to spot
Look for its small size, short tail, and distinctive 'frowning' expression. It often perches prominently on posts, rocks, or buildings. Listen for its characteristic 'kew-kew' call, often given repeatedly.
When to spot
Active from late afternoon through dusk and often at dawn. Can also be seen hunting or perching during the day, especially in open, sunny locations.

Little Owls are known to line their nests and roost sites with various materials, including animal dung, which is thought to help insulate the nest and possibly deter predators.
