What is the difference between day and night owls?
The night active owls have completly dark eyes, while the day hunting owls have green, yellow or orange eyes.
The Little Owl is the smallest owl in the Netherlands. These owls can be found throughout Europe. Asia and North Afica. They like a mixture of open land with trees and fields. Little owls nest in holes in old trees and old buildings. They will also nest in specially made nest boxes. During the breeding season three to five aggs are layed and these hatch after 28 days of incubation by the femail owl.
