Little owls on camera
Clips from scientific research into little owl ecology
Footage of little owls in nestboxes comes from a scientific research project supported by the Hawk and Owl Trust which will help plan how to improve the chances of young little owls surviving to join the breeding population. The footage is in black and white because it was filmed with infrared cameras. For more information on the project click here.
