peek-a-boo

i was driving on a dirty road looking for birds when i saw a shape at my right.

i'm used to find owls that are very mimetic and cannot be search easily with a sight.

the best thing to do with all the wild animals is to be used to their shape.

so i stopped the car and i came back...nothing there...but i decided to wait a bit and after a minute ...

peekaboo!!! a curious spotted eagle owl (bubo africanus) rose from behind some rocks.

i really love these birds!!
