Boreal Owl peeping out of nest hole
Another one from the depths of a Polish forest.
We were wandering along with our guide who suddenly spotted this tiny owl peering at us. It was early but there was just a beam of sunlight illuminating the bird.
Tripods set up quickly and the owl seemed as interested in us as we were in him!
Again, 'done' on laptop in Holland (as I am going back again to Poland next week) and oh so difficult to see if pic is correct.

D2x, 200-400, tripod
Raw, PS
