Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 119!

Thus round will be free and you can show me any photo of bird you've taken. I am interested about tbe story behind and what makes you choose it.

My illustrations for the Free Theme is the Long-eared Owl,who hubby discovered recently together with the sweetest owl babies. You may have seen already my post about them.

Finding a new bird is always exciting, especially the owls. At least for me, they are one of the most difficult to spot and the babies are just a bonus. To see them in a park where it is full with people was not surprising and yet it is to some extent. Not surprising because I have seen many photos of Long-eared owls taken in parks and I was wondering if I would be lucky enough to see any in ours. And yes, I am lucky and I am more than happy to share my pictures of such gorgeous bird.
