'Robin', the little owl (Athene noctua), seen perched on the Keeper's glove. This little chap is fully grown. The little owl is the most commonly seen owl in Britain, but is a recent arrival, having been introduced into southern England by the Victorians. They are now found throughout lowland England and Wales. http://www.britishwildlifecentre.co.uk/index.htm
