One Bird, Two Eyes
It has become a mandatory shot of Spotted Owlet (Athene brama) whenever photographers visit Theosophical Society at Adyar, Chennai and this visit is no exception.
Wildlife photographers know that while we keep searching with our biological lenses in our eyes and through our camera lenses, there are so many eyes that are peering over us through the foliage, plants and trees for sure.
The Spotted Owlet proves this point whenever we try to shoot the tiny avian. One eye is almost transfixed on us and the tracking mode is forever on. Here is a sequence of 3 photos where one bird with an eye fixed on the photographer, one bird with both eyes tracking the photographer and two birds with all four eyes transfixed on the photographer.
