Up Close with a Tawny Owl

At the PolskaEire Slavic Festival in Cork yesterday, owls were part of the festival, with kids getting a chance to hold one, much to their delight.

The tawny owl, featured prominently in the foreground, is known for its distinctive “twit-twoo” call, which is actually a duet between a male and female—one calls “twit” and the other replies “twoo.”

A close-up photograph of two owls, with a tawny owl in sharp focus on the right and a blurred white-faced scops owl in the background on the left; the tawny owl has brown and cream mottled feathers and a yellow beak, while the scops owl has striking white and grey facial markings. The image is bright with a soft, neutral background and no visible text.

Eurasian scops owl - Otus scops

The Eurasian scops owl (Otus scops), also known as the European scops owl or just scops owl, is a small owl in the typical owl family Strigidae. Its breeding range extends from southern Europe eastwards to southern Siberia and the western Himalayas. It is migratory, wintering in Africa south of the Sahara. (Text Source: Wikipedia)

My passion is wildlife photography and every day I will showcase one animal in my feed. I hope I can bring the beauty of nature into your home and show how amazing nature is.
Every single animal needs our protection as they all play an important part in our survival.

Unfortunately, humans have wiped out on average 60% of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles since 1970 a recent study finds. With my wildlife photo a day, I hope to showcase a fraction of them before they are gone…

Okay, here's another one for #Bleptember, a screenshot of an #Owl blepping while eating. From a video recently posted by a birdsite account for Owl Cafe Tokyo (@akiba2960).

According to the hashtags, this is a #NorthAmerican #ScopsOwl, and it was fed a corn snake and/or ball python.😱 🐍 💦 🦉 ✨

This tiny little Scops Owl needed waking up during our shoot he was so relaxed, I think the warmth of the light and the quietness in the room all helped, he ignored the flash completely! He lives in the rescue centre with the other birds I've photographed. #ScopsOwl #Owl #Bird #Raptor #OwlsOfMastodon #BirdsOfMastodon #Photography #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography #AltText
