Owl Snoozin' in a Tree Branch

I just couldn’t resist this one: a tawny owl was spotted snoozing inside a hollowed-out tree branch in Christchurch Park, Ipswich, England.

After a hard night terrorising the local vole population, this little owl is trying to catch up on some well-deserved shuteye.

But, snuggling into its cosy hidey-hole, the tawny owl hasn’t twigged that its cover has been blown by the fall of autumn leaves. [...] Now, despite its best efforts to blend into the woody background –not to mention keeping its eyes tightly closed, it seems the owl may have to bow to the inevitable and start hunting for a new home.
