Hehe! He's a cute little fella! This is a captive owl at the Andover Hawk Conservancy. He came to them injured but has made a full recovery and now participates in their flight displays. Enjoy!
Little Owl - Athene noctua
Length 22cm
Our smallest owl and also one which is often active in hours of daylight. Introduced from mainland Europe in 19th century but now widespread and fairly common in many parts of Britain to S Scotland; absent from Ireland. Size and small, dumpy appearance usually enough to allow identification. At close range, large, white spots can be seen on most parts of the grey-brown plumage and the staring yellow eyes glare back at observer. Perches on fenceposts and dead branches, often bobbing head and body. Favours farmland and areas of open country; feeds mainly on insects and earthworms. Nests in tree holes and occasionally in cavities in stone walls. Calls include a strange, cat-like kiu, uttered repeatedly and agitatedly in early evening.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
