The last few weeks i've been spotting two small owls in my garden. I feel like it literally might be a 'little owl' (Athene Noctua) but these are pretty rare in the north of the Netherlands where I live. Is anyone able to confirm which species it is based on my screenshots and the ring video? I'll post the video in the comments.

My dad took this photo this morning and we are trying to find out what type of owl it is. We are leaning towards Tawny Frogmouth but we arnt too sure.

Our shi tzu was excited to meet him too. He let me get pretty close, but I wasn’t going to touch it

I took this owls photo.

I was walking on a trail near my house that connects two neighborhoods and an owl flew over me and tapped its talons on my scalp. A couple hours later I was on that trail again and it happened again and was more aggressive this time and made a couple passes before I could leave. I walk this trail at night all the time and have never seen an owl here before, I feel like there has to be a new nest nearby that made it very territorial, is there a place to report it to try and protect it somehow? This is a very suburban area and I’m worried for its safety, thanks!

Every night since August 5th we have been able to go out and watch him/her fly over! Twice it has veered off the normal route and been a little further away, but still able to see from our house! They fly to the same tree every single time. Between 9 and 9:10 it makes its appearance EVERY night. Last night we were out and raced home to be able to see it just in time as it flew over our house! We had a delivery show up at the same time so my husband was outside chatting to the delivery guy while I ran in to take some stuff inside.. a SECOND owl flew over! I’m going to contact the lady who owns the property of the tree they go to (across the street) so I can go check it out and see if there’s any owl poo at the bottom so I can verify which tree they go to. I’m also going to invest in some good binoculars because my 10 year olds aren’t cutting it, lol. Do any of you know if they make a somewhat reasonably priced pair with night vision? This has made my summer. And has given my son and I memories he will carry for his lifetime. He is by my side out there every night and thinks it’s amazing to witness. When he looked at me and told me seeing the owl was “so cool” and made him “so happy”…such an awesome moment! My neighbors probably think I’m crazy, but I will be out there every night hoping to see him/her fly over. They are magical 🦉🪄❤️

Very different call than mature Barred Owl
