"The Northern Pygmy-Owl may be tiny, but it’s a ferocious hunter with a taste for songbirds. These owls are mostly dark brown and white, with long tails, smoothly rounded heads, and piercing yellow eyes. They hunt during the day by sitting quietly and surprising their prey. As a defensive measure, songbirds often gather to mob sitting owls until they fly away. Mobbing songbirds can help you find these unobtrusive owls, as can listening for their call, a high-pitched series of toots." From AllAboutBirds.

These owls also have a taste for Meadow Voles and during the past three or so weeks, photographers have seen this bird catch several, including this unlucky little rodent, seen on 14 January 2015. This tiny owl has been very tolerant of the crowds of people with their giant, noisy cameras, but hopefully the number of people has already started to get smaller. I haven't been down to the park for six days now, so I don't even know if the owl is still being seen, at least in the same area.
I'm posting late today (around noon, I think it was) - got to bed so late last night/this morning and needed to sleep until I woke up without any alarms being set.
