A story with a happy end, a photo from Rakhine, South

Photographer's Note

I told you the story of how this fish-owl was rescued from the cooking pot and was being looked after whilst his wing was mending.
I can happily conclude this story by telling you that this wing has healed and the owl has been set free in the forest behind Rakhine beach. Although I understand the he keeps coming back to the guest house having established during his time in captivity a taste for mice.

Hello Elaine,
It's a great portrait with superb sharpness on its head and beautiful B&W tones. Those eyes! Did people feed him with mice during his convalescence so he got used to being served his meals? A healthy owl should be able to hunt for anything anywhere.
Regards,
Gert

Wow Elaine,
A freshly bathed Owl......and that too in life size portrait. I like the details, the tones of whites, blacks and shades of grey scattered on the beautiful bird.
A rare photograph.

Hello Elaine,
Great that this owl is still visiting the guesthouse where it was taken care of.
Hopefully it has also learned to get food independently.
A very beautiful bird, taken with perfect sharpness!
Best regards, Paul

Bonjour, Elaine,
Les oiseaux volaient avec lenteur, montant dans le ciel puis redescendant, comme s'ils avaient voulu l'effacer, méticuleusement, avec leurs ailes.

Dag Elaine.
prachtig deze uil met zijn enorme ogen van zo dichtbij dat je het zand in zijn veren ziet zitten.
Groet, Gerrit

Hallo Elaine,
Nog zo'n schitterende foto van deze uil. Heel goede close-up waarbij hij de foto mooi opvult en we de details van zijn veren heel duidelijk te zien krijgen.
