Looking for Little Owls, but did I find any?

  • Believe it or not that looking for wildlife is a lot harder than people think, a lot of the time information shared between other photographers and people, that have come across and seen wildlife and then share that information so people then take photos and you see all this online, If however you're not in the loop and you have no information or resources, then you have to go out on your own and find the wildlife.
    So today I am doing just that I've got my camera some food and water and just headed out into the Yorkshire Dales looking for some wildlife, now my aim was to go out and see if I can find the little owls I know that the little owls tend to be around stonewalls and farms etc and empty barns and stone buildings that are around the Yorkshire dale's.
    It did take me awhile somewhere in the region of six hours before I've managed to find and see a little owl, it was only one looking for food in a couple of fields before heading back off to its nest where I would assume it may have some young, so I knew location for me to head back to in the future I could be guaranteed some great encounters of the little owl, as it happened the owl was in farmland so when I return I could perhaps go and speak to the farmer and see if I can get access to the land so that I can spend more time freely wandering around and photographing the little owls.
    All in all a great day out looking for wildlife with positive results.

    Great story of the stone walls. Loved it. Hope the farmer gives you access to the field. Glad you found the Little Owl. Beautiful scenery too.

    Perseverance pays off. Great to meet you yesterday Ashley and have a quick chat. Hope it was easier finding the Tawny owls.

    Well done Ashley, perseverance and patience is the nature photographer's mantra - but that is why it can be very rewarding. Glad you got your target bird on the day. Generally speaking if i go out anywhere, I may have a target but even if I don't get them I will be satisfied if just got one shot of something at all.

    It shows you've got to have perseverance Ashley, and you do nice one.👍

    Every climber's dread, the sound of a Peregrine calling.
    And at Malham Cove too.
    Those owls were tiny. 😀

    Hi Ashley, another great video 📷 The Little Owl is on my list for this year, stunning birds. Great to see the Peregrine too. My niece lives in Keighley, that road with the stone walls looks like the road we travel on through the hills to get there 👍🏽 see you on the next one Mate

    Great video Ashley, lovely to see the Little owl out in the wild, perseverance does pay off! .... BTW, the Peregrines have been where you were the last three years, but we have only seen them from mid June onwards, we haven't been this year yet. Chris

    Another nice video love your photos and your bird videos. And it’s always fun to compare the birds that you have in the UK compared to what we have in the western United States (I’m in Northern California.)

      Hi Fred, many thanks for your comment, yeh I know what you mean, I watch other videos and see birds from the USA, Australia etc, and often feel quite jealous lol
