Thanks a lot !!!
In fact, the bird doesn't want to say this He is more like... let me go !!! (We saved his life, that is the most important)

Thanks a lot
It was so funny to make this picture.
And the good news is I will go to the same area in few weeks... I hope to have the opportunity to make some new pictures of this gorgeous little bird. Good news, the nesting period seems perfect this year

Hi.
Thanks a lot.
In fact. I explained it : this is a young one and his nest was infested by hornets. So we had to keep him safe while we destroyed the hornet nest (the little owl is a uncommon specie and we really have to protect him). During that period, I took some pictures of him and his little brother

Thank you. You are perfectly right : just a lovely owl (but sometimes, he is able to show us that he is not happy at all )
