EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of Notranjska forest in Inner Carniola, Slovenia, an enigmatic Ural owl, Strix uralensis, perches on a gnarled tree branch, its piercing yellow eyes locked on the camera with an air of quiet intensity. The Ural owl, a nocturnal bird of prey native to the forests of Eurasia, is a master of camouflage, blending effortlessly into its woodland habitat. With its distinctive ear tufts and large, round head, this bird exudes an aura of mystery and power. The close-up perspective of this image, captured by wildlife photographer Sergio Pitamitz, invites us to appreciate the intricate details of the Ural owl's plumage – from the intricate patterns on its wings to the velvety texture of its feathers. The selective focus on the owl, combined with the blurred background, draws our attention to the subject and transports us into the secretive world of this elusive creature. The Ural owl's piercing gaze seems to challenge us, as if daring us to penetrate the depths of its enigmatic nature. As we gaze back into its eyes, we are reminded of the delicate balance of nature that exists within the Notranjska forest – a place where the ancient trees, the diverse wildlife, and the ever-changing seasons coexist in harmony. This evocative image, taken on a sunlit day in southern Europe, serves as a testament to the beauty and wonder that can be found in the natural world. It invites us to slow down, to observe, and to appreciate the intricacies of the natural world that surrounds us. Through the lens of Sergio Pitamitz's camera, we are granted a rare glimpse into the life of this elusive and fascinating bird, reminding us of the importance of preserving the habitats that sustain these remarkable creatures.
