The Little Owl

A popular, characterful, and very adaptable species, worshipped and persecuted in equal measure in the past, Little Owls were introduced into the UK from Europe in the nineteenth century. Their fortunes have fluctuated since, and they are currently in decline here. But where else do they live? Where do they nest, what do they eat and how are they faring elsewhere? How can we help them?

Gordon Kirk is a former chair of GRMG and a lifelong owl fan. Alongside lots of local information, he will include (with the author’s permission!) many new findings and stunning illustrations from a recent authoritative book on the Little Owl by Dries van Nieuwenhuyse, plus plenty of photos from local photographers.

Doors open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start. There’s a bar; under-18s must be accompanied.
