Owls love perches, especially new ones I've found and similar to Kingfishers, new perches need to be investigated.
This Little owl as you have seen before uses an old disused telegraph pole, perching on the foot bars, not ideal for me, as they start around 15ft off the ground, but at the base was the old rusty isolator hubs (for a better phrase) so I just stood it up and waited, not for long. The firing of the shutter obviously caught his/her attention.
Will shortly go off to see if we have any new arrivals, fingers crossed.
Cheers
Steve
