EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness a charming little owl perched on a rocky outcrop in the vast wilderness of Southwest Morocco. With its piercing yellow eyes and distinct feather patterns, this feathery friend is none other than Athene noctua - the elusive Little Owl. Looking as if it just stepped out of an avian fashion magazine, this dapper creature exudes confidence and style with every feather perfectly in place. Its petite size might fool you into thinking it's harmless, but don't be fooled! This tiny predator possesses incredible hunting skills that make even seasoned birdwatchers marvel. As it sits there, basking in the warm African sun, one can't help but wonder what thoughts are going through its wise little head. Perhaps contemplating its next meal or simply enjoying some well-deserved downtime after a successful hunt? This enchanting photograph captures not only the beauty of nature but also showcases the diverse wildlife found across North Africa. It serves as a reminder that even in remote corners like West Guelmim, remarkable creatures like our adorable owl friend thrive against all odds. So let us celebrate this marvelous moment frozen in time – an exquisite portrait of grace and serenity amidst Morocco's untamed landscapes. May it inspire us to appreciate both small wonders and grand adventures that await us beyond our own backyards!
