Little Owl in Regents Park......

It is quite a thought that so close to the centre of London these diminutive birds can live and breed almost certainly undetected by most of  the many users of the park. In the background ring-necked parakeets can be heard which is, like the Little Owl, an introduction to this country, albeit a more recent one. Tony Duckett's photography is superb and his sightings blog for the park itself is well worth a look. It will open your eyes to a new world in much the same way that birding in Central Park New York does.
