Cute but Feared
Contrary to most other birds I've photographed, this Eurasian pygmy owl (Glaucidium passerinum) exhibited a very inquisitive behaviour and came closer to investigate what kind creature would have such a long lens pointing its way.
Location
Simrishamn, Sweden
Date taken
December 28, 2011
Scientific name
Glaucidium passerinum
Equipment used
Olympus E-5 + Zuiko Digital 300/2.8 + 1.4x teleconverter
Absolutely beautiful my friend. As a bird artist, this is an ideal photograph from which I would attempt a painting of this species.
