Our smallest bird of prey is the Red-Backed Shrike, they are every bit as predatory as the small falcons.
Not so wide spread as they used to be.

20:2065008Lovely picture`s Ian, and sorry I couldn`t make it. Just out of curiosity, owl`s are always associated I think with coming out at night. But apart from show`s in Pencester, do they ever come out in the day?
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

20:5765010Hi Colin, good to see you posting again mate.

Chin up and all that.
Yes they do Colin, Not very often you will see them though, If their not nesting they quite often spend their day in the tree tops having a kip.

and a lot depends on their food source and weather. wet weather no food.
By the way, what is the collective name for a group of Owls?
