Sleeping beauty

This Tawny owl (Strix aluco) was shown to me, by a 5-year-old son with surprised eyes. He noticed her while walking around our home. The owl rested peacefully in the first rays of the sun and did not let itself be disturbed, so I had time to find the camera and enthusiastically photographed it at a safe distance. The unusual scene did not give me peace, so my son and I sat next to her for at least another hour, just for her safety. Because she was resting on the ground, she could be easy prey for some stray dog. Well after some rest she calmly opened her eyes and flew to safety.
