Fish owl. Hokkaido, Japan / February 2024
A very rare fish owl lands on a rotten branch after a successful catch. It is a mystical encounter in the early night. The star constellation of the eagle, added in the studio, enhances the mood. Due to the severe decline of its natural habitat, the species is critically endangered. The indigenous population considers the fish owl to be the protector of the village, but now the species itself needs protection. Perhaps the stars will help.
