30 Days Wild - Day 28

Today I got close to some owls and learned something new about them. This one is a northern pygmy owl. So tiny! (I'm talking smaller than a blackbird!)

I didn't realise there were owls that small. He's a real cutie and you've caught him brilliantly.

@flowerfairyann I didn't wither until I saw this one! Here's an idea of scale - it's close in size to a sparrow! http://www.birdsphotography.com/gallery/birds_of_prey/owls/northern_pigmy-owl/content/northern_pigmy_owl_7_large.html
