Roof roost return of Little Owls!

Yesterday I noticed part of a worm on the patio at the corner of our farmhouse. That made me smile, now why would part of a worm make me smile? The same thing happened  last Spring and it was a while before I realized that a Little Owl had her young on the roof of our farmhouse. Tucked in where the topping stones come down the side of the roof under the edge of the slates were some fluffy Little Owlets. The parts of worms were the meals the mother was bringing to feed her young and they must occasionally drop the odd one. This photo was taken last year of a young Little Owl almost ready to leave the roost and getting a bit too big to hide under the slates!
Can you spot the Little Owl sat on the spouting near the edge of the slates.
