Little Owl Nestbox

We've been talking about this bird for al long time.... the little owl (steenuil)

Previous kenderfrau posts here

On Saturday bird ringing Noord-Limburg placed a special nestbox in our tree

Thank you Patrick!

This is supposed to be a marten proof nestbox...

We spotted martens in de back garden several times.

Once I saw two youngsters chasing each other at dusk ☺︎

Just a little pruning by the kenderman to ensure a free flight path.

Immediately small birds like blue tits and coal tits investigated the new nestbox.

Now we just have to wait for a couple of little owls to discover it...

Wise?

I bought this little owl at a thrift shop for a friend of mine.

 She has a weak spot for owls. I hope she likes it.
She can have it and in return I would like a comment on this post ;)

Cross

This Little Owl looks so cross at me.

Last sunday......

Every now and again we want to check on the little owls.

Check my previous post here.

Two Owls

 Today we spotted two little owls!

 Here an older close-up.

This is the deserted farm house where the little owls live.

Me and the kenderman would like to live here too......... after some renovation work :)

Owl

We went cycling today. When I made this (dark) photo the kenderman saw something...........

A Little Owl on the roof!

I really adore this little owl. He has a kind of fucked up expression.

That's my kind of animal :)

Vintage

We have been trying to buy a vintage object for our christmas tree each year.

This year we bought a large owl adornment.
It's probably an (Oehoe) Eagle Owl  :-)
