The Trouble With Tribbles.....

My guess is you are thinking * what the.......?* Is it a hamster... is it a fat mouse... is it a tribble?
To me it's just one of those photo's that makes me want to laugh out loud!
It is in fact an owl !!!!!!! He (obviously) was sat on a stump and all of a sudden something caught his eye walking across the studio floor...could have been a fly or a spider. He just crouched down and made himself into a round feathery ball!
I can't for the life of me remember exactly what kind of owl he is - we photographed so many different kinds of owls when I went on a Birds of Prey Photography Workshop last month.
I just think it's so funny....it tickles me every time I look at it!
I hope it gives you a giggle too.........

Fantastic!! He does look amazing. I could see it was an owl face, but where was his body? He he. I think it must be a Little Owl.... he looks small in the other photos too. Lovely shot. And what fun it must be to go to a birds of prey photography workshop :-)
