“The Watcher of Deeping Lakes” This afternoon, as I wandered the quiet trails of Deeping Lakes Nature Reserve, something stirred in the thicket. I paused, scanning the tangled branches—and there it was. A long-eared owl, perfectly still, peering through the undergrowth with piercing amber eyes.
It was one of those electrifying moments where time seems to stop. I held my breath, watching from a respectful distance as the owl watched me back. Its feather tufts blended seamlessly with the branches, a master of disguise in its woodland realm. The light was soft, the air still, and for a few magical seconds, we were alone in the world.
These encounters are rare, and that’s what makes them unforgettable. The thrill of spotting such a secretive bird, the quiet tension of not disturbing it, and the joy of capturing even a glimpse—it’s what keeps me coming back to places like Deeping Lakes.
