EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by George Greenwell, we are transported back to April 1970 at Chessington Zoo. The image showcases a magnificent tawny owl perched on a branch, its piercing eyes gazing up at the full moon above. Known for their wisdom and nocturnal nature, this wise creature utilizes the moonlight as an aid in its nightly quest for sustenance. As darkness envelops the world around it, the tawny owl takes flight with grace and precision, guided by the ethereal glow of the lunar orb. The photograph beautifully captures both power and tranquility; every feather seems meticulously defined against the night sky backdrop. The intensity in those amber eyes hints at a predator's focus - ready to swoop down upon unsuspecting prey. Greenwell's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the bird's majestic presence but also its intrinsic connection with nature. It serves as a reminder that even creatures as wise as owls rely on natural elements like the full moon to navigate their surroundings. This stunning snapshot is more than just an artistic portrayal of wildlife; it transports us back in time, evoking feelings of awe and wonderment towards these enigmatic birds of prey. It reminds us that there is still so much beauty waiting to be discovered within our own natural habitats if we take a moment to observe closely – just like Greenwell did all those years ago at Chessington Zoo.
