Shot in Hampi, alongside the Daroji canal. The place is a dream for any bird lover looking to observe owls closely. Brown fish owl, Eurasian eagle owl, Spotted owlets were sighted in plenty along with several species of larks, Painted sandgrouses, Chestnut bellied sandgrouses.

Nice eye contact. Why so much of noise at ISO 800?

One can get lost in its eyes. Its almost mesmerising. One can go into past life regression by looking into its eyes continously :D. Nice image. Thanks for sharing.
