Back View Introduced Species Night Nocturnal Owls Staring Uk Alien Birds Of Prey
Who's Hoo? Little Owl Spins Heads in the UK Night!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, Johan De Meester has managed to freeze a magical moment where an adorable little owl seems to have mastered the art of time travel. With its round, piercing eyes fixed on something behind it, this nocturnal beauty appears to be peering into another dimension. This mischievous little creature is not your average bird; it belongs to the elite group of birds of prey and possesses an air of mystery that only adds to its allure. Its feathers are perfectly camouflaged against the night sky as it turns its head backwards with remarkable flexibility. It's almost as if this owl is trying to catch a glimpse of some secret hidden from our human eyes. Although originally hailing from Europe, this particular species has become somewhat of an alien in the United Kingdom. Introduced by humans, these owls have made themselves at home and adapted seamlessly into their new environment. Johan De Meester's expert photography skills have captured both the elegance and curiosity that define these captivating creatures. This print serves as a reminder that even in darkness, there is always room for wonderment and surprise – especially when you're being watched by an enchanting little owl who knows how to turn heads!
