This breathtaking photograph, taken in the beautiful Bos van Wijckerslooth in Oegstgeest, captures a touching moment in nature. Two young tawny owls, also known as branching owls, snuggle against each other in a lush backdrop of red birch leaves.
The Bos van Wijckerslooth, known for its historical significance as the site of a war memorial, is also home to a rich variety of wildlife. These two young tawny owls are a striking example of the beautiful wildlife that thrives here. They sit close together, their gazes imperturbably fixed on the camera, adding an undeniable charm and intimacy to this shot.
The photograph exudes a sense of serenity and mystery, with the owls' sharp gazes seeming to challenge the viewer to further explore the natural world.
This artwork is perfect for nature lovers, animal lovers and anyone who wants to capture the splendour of autumn and the beauty of the wilderness in an unforgettable image.
