With their brown patterned feathers and dark eyes, the beautiful owls possess the perfect forest camouflage. The Indian scops owls, a species of owl native to Asia, were photographed in a jambolan tree by Sarosh Lodhi, who noticed the birds while walking through Pench Tiger Reserve in central India.
