Little owls can be recognized by their huge, piercing yellow eyes, and their small, dumpy silhouettes, making them a delightful sight in Richmond Park's ancient oaks.
Richmond Park, with its mature oaks and roaming deer, provides a perfect habitat for little owls, whose diet includes beetles, small birds, and earthworms.
The little owl, though not native to Britain, has established itself firmly since being introduced from continental Europe in the late 19th century.
In Richmond Park, listeners may confuse the vocalizations of little owls with those of the rose-ringed parakeet, which also occupies the same trees.
