Little owls were introduced into Britain and, more recently, New Zealand. They hunt mostly at dawn and dusk, swooping down from a perch on to small mammals and insects. Surprisingly - given their carnivorous tendencies - they occasionally eat plant material and berries. Pairs construct nests within hollow cavities, where they lay a clutch of up to six eggs. Often little owls return to the same nest location, and in Britain one owl was recorded using the same site for over 25 years.
