Do you see these beautiful eyes?
Long-eared owls live nearby, about 20-25 min. walk from my house and not far from my office. Yesterday in the evening I watched how they were hunting. I saw 4 owls!!! They flew very low and very quiet... and very close to me! Unfortunately it was dark and impossible to take photos. There are lampposts, but light was very dim and it didn't help.
This afternoon at lunchtime I went to check them. I saw 3 owls, but all of them were deep in the branches. I tried to take photos at least one of them.
It's very windy today. And it was very difficult to catch the moment when the branches didn't block the owl.
This is not a great photo, but the best of today's photos.
BTW it's 100% wild bird, our owls live in the forest.

I'm off on the weekend as usual.
