From Pete Walkden

One bird I had hopes of seeing when visiting Norfolk, was the little owl.

Having successfully run a little owl photography workshop for many years when I lived in the Midlands, not seeing any since moving to Scotland has made me miss watching their antics.

Took a few days of looking, but when we spotted one, two more followed quickly.

We saw one of this pair sitting on a wall of an old crumbling barn, but it hopped out of view before we could get a shot. So we walked up a track to be a bit closer and waited.

After a while, one popped back up, but as soon as I moved my lens, it dropped out of sight, cheekily peering over the wall seconds later, which is what is shown here.
