Bird Of Prey Endemic Owlet Owlets Owls Raptor Raptors South Asia Sri Lanka Sri Lankan Chestnut Backed


Caught in the Act - Sri Lanka's Stealthy Chestnut-backed Owlet Strikes a Pose!

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness the enchanting beauty of Sri Lanka's very own avian celebrity, the Chestnut-backed Owlet. With its piercing yellow eyes and striking chestnut plumage, this adult predator perches majestically on a branch amidst the lush greenery of Kitulgala. The owlet seems to have mastered the art of photobombing as it confidently poses for FLPA photographer Neil Bowman. This rare sighting offers us a glimpse into the secret lives of these elusive creatures that call Asia's tropical paradise their home. Known for their exceptional hunting skills, these raptors are feared by smaller prey who dare to cross their path. However, in this moment captured forever on film, we see a softer side to this fierce bird of prey. With its feathers perfectly groomed and an air of mystery surrounding it, our feathery protagonist truly embodies elegance and grace against nature's backdrop. Its presence reminds us that even in remote corners of our world, incredible wildlife awaits those willing to explore. So let your imagination take flight as you gaze upon this mesmerizing print – an extraordinary testament to Sri Lanka's rich biodiversity and FLPA Images' commitment to capturing nature at its finest.
