Short-Eared Owl

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

Photographed at LRK. A record shot... The owl was very far away. Photographed at the full zoom extent + a huge crop.
These are medium sized owls often found sitting under the shade of bushes and shrubs in the Rann of Kutch. Feed on lizards, small mammals etc.

Lovely, I wish you had a close up, the eye contact is stunning.

Te central composition works here. The thorns frame it well. Wish it were possible to move in closer. All the best next time.

Nice eye contact. I am not sure whether one can go much closer. One can see similarity in the colours of the habitat and the owl.
