A few uploads ago I already wrote that it had been a few years since I photographed a Eurasian Pygmy Owl (Glaucidium passerinum) for the last time. And that I had it on the wish list for this autumn/winter, and as it seemed that there were a few around in the wider area of Helsinki. Well this is now #2 already.
This Eurasian Pygmy Owl is pretty aware of its surroundings. Definitely not afraid of me... instead there was a Northern Goshawk flying over. The owl felt threatened, and stretched out so long, tall and thin, that it looked more like a rough tree snag than a bird. Happy Days!
Some branches were removed in Photoshop to get a cleaner, more pleasant view. At least I like it like this...
