Where am i ?

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi folks something to inspect closer ....
where is the subject hidden ?
I actually forgot the species name .... the guide spotted the subject or he knew that the subject might stay there .... who knows .He told me he just spotted it , i could not believe it as it was some distance to the subject .

Andreas nearly had to go and get my other glasses to find this,it's marvelous how these birds blend into the surroundings ,very good natural history shot.
Guess at a Spotted Owlet or it's Indian equivalent,but tis only a guess.

Great spotting. It really puts him in context. Thanks for sharing.

Great camo, looks like part of the woodwork. Took me a few seconds to figure out what I was looking at

I like the forked trunk against the sky and the texture on the log is very interesting

Usually I prefer owls with open eyes but here the closed eyes add to the camo effect

"You cannot see me... but I do see you..." Even with "eyes wide shut".... incredible camo and image.

A really interesting shot Andreas, I must admit it took me a moment or two before I spotted it.

Very cool small in the frame image. This is why their cavities are so difficult to find. Great job on choosing your composition.
