Little Owl.

Just before I relocated to the Isle Of Mull, during the winter CV19 lockdown, I spent a few sessions late in the day at the little owl site in Worcestershire.

Took a few visits, but I was rewarded eventually.

The German word "warum" means "why".

The German word "wieso" means "why".

The German word "weshalb" means "why".
