They are low-lying birds who hunt on flat grasslands, and live in nests quite low down for birds at just 1,600 ft. UK: A BRITISH photographer has captured the UK's smallest owl looking a tad grumpy as it flew through the English countryside. One amusing image showed an eight-inch tall Little owl looking particularly testy as it perched on a tree branch and stared down the camera lens. Another picture captured the bird's 22-inch wingspan as it soared through the Sussex skies with a stern look on its tiny face. Flying just six-feet high in the air, the precious Little owl was snapped in Knapp, UK, by photographer Melissa Nolan (43), from West Sussex, UK. She used a Canon EOS 80D with a 100-400mm lens to photograph the adult Little owl for two-hours. The species was brought over from Europe and introduced into Britain in the late 19th century. It was hoped that the owls would get rid of house cockroaches but they've since escaped to low-lying wild areas instead. @melissa_wildlife_photography/MelissaNolan
