The photo shows a young but already fledged eagle owl exploring its surroundings late in the evening.
He is sitting on the edge of an old quarry. From there he has a good overview of the terrain.
In the picture you can see how perfectly the plumage camouflages the eagle owl in its environment. Especially at a distance, the owl is easy to miss. Only the fiery orange eyes sparkle brightly in the late twilight light.
The picture convinces with its naturalness. The almost probing gaze of the eagle owl immediately captivates the viewer.
