It was very calm at Jordan Lake Wed evening making it a best change for me to get a good reflection.

 

Once again many thanks for visits, comments and faves, much appreciated!

A bit of an update, haven't done much on bats. Arthur's trident is being sculpted using procreate and green stuff. I know the house of el emblem is eh, so I might just scrap it and paint it.

Aquaman (inspired by injustice 2, and Jason Momoa), Superman (inspired by the new 52 I guess), and Batman (inspired by his arkham knight suit).

Cuando te encuentras estos bosques llenos de encanto y misterio no puedes por menos de pararte y contemplar la belleza y el misterio que los envuelve y como no podia ser de otra manera sacas la cámara para inmortalizar toda su belleza y llevarla a casa y cuando estas de bajon volver a verla y disfrutar de ella.

Tawny Owl - Strix Aluco

  

The tawny owl or brown owl (Strix aluco) is a stocky, medium-sized owl commonly found in woodlands across much of Eurasia. Its underparts are pale with dark streaks, and the upperparts are either brown or grey. Several of the eleven recognised subspecies have both variants. The nest is typically in a tree hole where it can protect its eggs and young against potential predators. This owl is non-migratory and highly territorial. Many young birds starve if they cannot find a vacant territory once parental care ceases.

 

This nocturnal bird of prey hunts mainly rodents, usually by dropping from a perch to seize its prey, which it swallows whole; in more urban areas its diet includes a higher proportion of birds. Vision and hearing adaptations and silent flight aid its night hunting. The tawny owl is capable of catching smaller owls, but is itself vulnerable to the eagle owl or northern goshawk.

 

Although many people believe this owl has exceptional night vision, its retina is no more sensitive than a human's and its asymmetrically placed ears are key to its hunting by giving it excellent directional hearing. Its nocturnal habits and eerie, easily imitated call, have led to a mythical association of the tawny owl with bad luck and death.
