The Little Owl is distributed from Denmark south to North Africa and east to central and eastern Asia. It was introduced to Britain and New Zealand. See the distribution map at Birdlife International. It is found in open country, in rocky areas, farmland and gardens.

It feeds mainly on insects but also on small reptiles, frogs, earthworms and small mammals and birds. Normally it hunts from a perch but it also runs after prey on the ground.
