Thats the second picture of the little owl i'm uploading..I hope you like it!

The little owl's latin name (Athene noctua) comes from greek mythology. Athena was the godess of wisdom, so the little owl with its big eyes and "serious" appearance became her symbol!

On biological part little owl has perfect vision and hearing.About the hearing athene can "filter" the sounds in nature so that it can hear only sounds of preys or danger.the great hearing has to do also with the asymmetrical position of the ears on the head.(the right ear is located higher than the other)

Hope i didnt bore you!!

Great shot. I like the the tiny owl in the huge window. You could have cropped close to the owl but I think you have lost a great deal of perspective. Great job! Great note too.

Hi Tasos

Great composition of this owl. Like the way he's sitting in the window. Not the best detailed picture ever, but the framing and originality makes it all up. very nice picture. Well done!

TFS, Thijs

NO! You did not bore Me!! It is a great image of this window framed little owl. I love the fact that he placed himself right in the middle. It is a great capture and a good note too.

Hello Tasos, that's the cutest little owl I have seen. I love the composition, simple and very pretty, with almost only one colour. You are right, this owl looks very serious. I also appreciated the notes. Thank you,

Francine
