Sleepy Ruru
A late afternoon walk in a small bush reserve near Fielding, Manawatu resulted in spotting this beautiful Morepork/Ruru appearing from his/her hole in a tree 10m above my head. I was blessed by his sleepy interaction with me while getting this shot. The late afternoon sun penetrated the leafy canopy, lighting the subject from the side revealing the wonderful facial and feather detail.
