Description

Description: The upperparts are brown-black and tawny-buff, showing as dense freckling on the forehead and crown, stripes on the nape, sides and back of the neck, and dark splotches on the pale ground colour of the back, mantle and scapulars. A narrow buff band, freckled with brown buff, runs up from the base of the bill, above the inner part of the eye and along the inner edge of the black-brown, "ear-tufts". The rump and upper tail-coverts are delicately patterned with dark vermiculations and fine wavy barring. The facial disc is tawny-buff, speckled with black-brown, so densely on the outer edge of the disc as to form a "frame" around the face. Chin and throat are white continuing down the centre of the upper breast The whole of the underparts except for chin, throat and centre of upper breast is covered with fine dark wavy barring, on a tawny-buff ground colour. Legs and feet are likewise marked on a buff ground colour but more faintly. Thanks for taking time to look and any comments.. Hope to be back soon from my Holiday Stage 2 starts tomorrow

Incredible this portrait of Owl. Maybe the more majestic of all the Owl. There are some of them in our region, but very difficult to see them. We have always love to listen to them the night... Beautiful Dany. Hugs.

what we can read in the eyes! his look is really fasinating. It seems that we could understand what happen in his head... But thats only an anthropocentrical projection... Well we're not so sure about it ! Whatever, a fascinating shot.
