Ушастая сова

This image captures a long-eared owl (Asio otus) perched gracefully on a tree branch within an autumnal woodland setting. The owl's characteristic ear tufts are clearly visible, along with its striking facial disc and mottled brown plumage that provides excellent camouflage against the bark. Surrounding the bird are branches adorned with golden-brown leaves, creating a warm, seasonal atmosphere. The soft focus background enhances the subject while maintaining the natural forest ambiance. Photographed by Robert Adamec, this composition highlights both the beauty of the species and its integration into the autumn landscape.
