Little Owls at Worlington

I had been told there was at least one Little Owl chick to expect - and that was all there appears to be. An early start paid off and I was able to capture the chick initially outside the 'nest' - a horizontal hollow telegraph pole - on arrival, followed by an adult returning to the area to feed a grub of some sort to the chick. The adult knew I was there and told the chick to disappear inside the pole, which it did! Decided I should leave after a short while so that the necessary feeding before fledging could continue. May go again tomorrow morning...
