Thanks, Satyen!
stunning series
Marta, creo que en el apartado "Habitat" se debe de poner el sitio donde lo hemos encontrado, en este caso: zoo. No sé si lo sabías.
Un abrazo, primi.

Beautiful photos Marta
Thanks for the comments. These owls are so pretty..
They are beautiful indeed!
Done in the zoo. This animal is so beautiful I just had to share the pics in Noah. I think all pics are from an adult female with exception of one of another specimen which I suspect is the male from the couple since is much whiteysh
Beautiful!!
Super shots Marta.
