Little Owl

Before the hard winter of ,I think,2010, I often used to see one perched on the hedge near an old oak tree whilst driving home to Llandyssil. Since then I've not once seen one there.  On my way home tonight about 630, I was approaching the old oak and from the top of the hedge opposite,a Little Owl took off and flew across the road in front of me. Well chuffed I was.
