The Vicked Chronicles

My Sleepy Neighbour

Sunday morning. It's Holi - the festival of colors. But not everyone is celebrating. Like me and my neighbour. By the way, my neighbour happens to be a Barn Owl (Tyto alba alba). Infact there's a whole family of them. Here's one:

 

Having been disturbed by all that Holi revelry in the locality, my neighbour tries to catch few winks. Talk about a Sunday gone wrong!

This would perhaps my best ever photo of him, because, I only get to see him at nights and the night shots don't always turn out good. When he is out during daytime, he is constanty disturbed by pigeons. I did check on him a while later, but he had left, pehaps to find another cozy, dark corner to complete his sleep.

Good day Mr. Owl. Hope to see you tonight!
