hello Friends,

i been looking on owl's website about this species but i just can't find it.. it could be a Southern Boobook.. anyone of you know?

she and her mate been living near my home for about 2 years now.. always saw them at night time but last Sunday i see her in daylight.. she was crying out loud because her little one fell to the ground.. we tried to put the little one back up the tree but it was difficult.. so one of my neighbour adopted it..

she cannot do anything only looked down from the mango tree.. took this from my home veranda.. not that sharp as she is quite far.. a bit OE in some part as well and noisy.. used photoscape to darkened it..

anyway thanks for looking.. good night..

regards, terry

HI Terry
Who cares if there is noise or oe, this is great, the sharpness of the feathers and those eyes.
Fantastic shot.
In the future if a bird falls down don't touch it, just try to use a broom to slide under the bird so it can stand on it then slowly bring it up to the tree branch, and it should automatically hop on it.

Hello Terry,
How are you....???
Great shot,
The best thing in the shot is the eye..
When you take a photo of a bird sitting in a bush or a tree there is always some sort of distraction like leafs but here the body of the owl can be seen clearly without any distraction..
TFS..
Kind regards..
Vaibhav..
