This owl was photographed in Bulgaria.
The Little Owl is found all over much of Eurasia, from the UK to Korea, and has been exported to New Zealand as well!
Little Owls can also be found in parts of the Middle East and North Africa, where the coloration becomes noticeably paler.
This first example was photographed in Iraq.
And this one is from Tunisia.
Holy shit that is a fucking phenomenal picture 🫨
I thought this was going to be one of the ones to go pretty big and get some likes from non-subscribers and break 200 upvotes, but it shows what I know!
I’m glad we like it though! It is a very cool shot of an owl that’s usually pretty popular. 🥰
I mean 120 is pretty decent for lemmy. I really like that it’s smaller round here than on other social platforms. Feels more personal and such. 🦉 it’s a fucking good owl man look at the dust as he’s taking off
Well your reaction is better to me then some more likes anyway.
The small group size is a double edge sword for me. I like getting a better 1-on-1 with you guys and being able to address everyone’s comments, but at the same time, it lets me notice when a few of you guys stop showing up, which makes me a little sad. I’m not super social in person, so I worry either you guys get tired of me or something might have happened to you.
It is also tougher doing bigger projects like the research paper analysis and other long original content. I’m working on a write up now on how owls can regenerate important parts of their ears so they don’t lose their hearing with age like we do, and I’ve spent a few hours on it, and I know some of you will seriously love it, but not many as a group.
I try hard to not complain because I don’t care too much about the likes or anything, but I put a decent amount of time into making or editing posts and finding content, and I just want to feel like the effort I put into it matters to you guys to show me it’s worth that effort. It gets hard to gauge since there’s maybe 5 of you guys at a time that chime in.
As long as that handful is there, I’m good with what I do, I’ve just been hopeful that after a year of doing this, it’d be a little bigger. I do try to keep in perspective that I’m fairly big for Lemmy, but I’m here to see happy reactions from teaching you all new things. That’s only really stayed level even though subs still go up and I’m not sure how to read that.
I just worry about Lemmy’s long term, as I don’t want to do this on Reddit. That’s too big for me. I like what I have with you guys. I’m just a worrier with shaky self confidence, so I’m always like this.
But anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed this one and I hope to find many more cool pictures for you!
