PLAYFUL OWL PLAYS HIDE AND SEEK
A cheeky owl fancies a game of hide and seek as it peeps out from behind a tree. With its piercing yellow eyes staring straight into the camera, the great grey owl shows off its playful side during an afternoon in the park. The owl was photographed by senior engineer Jiri Michal in Vysoka, Czech Republic. The 34-year-old, of Pilsen, Czech Republic, says: ‘I wasn’t completely sure what this mischievous owl was doing, however it kept poking its head out from behind this tree as if it was playing a game with me.
