From Rojesh Bhalla
In the early morning light of Dhanauri wetlands, a lone Barn Owl was harassed by a murder of crows.
One crow closed in, aiming to peck the owl’s eye. Yet, the owl remained unfazed, soaring gracefully over the green wheat fields, almost taunting the crows.
In a swift and calculated move, the owl dove toward the earth, wings spread wide, skimming just above the crops. The crows, caught off guard, couldn’t anticipate the owl’s strategy.
In the face of aggression, the owl triumphed through patience and wisdom, outfoxing the crows.
“True strength lies not in overwhelming others, but in maintaining a calm heart, unwavering in struggle.”

Nnnnnroooom! Tch tch tch tch tch!
A fully toasted one!
Yes, I haven’t been able to ID this one. It doesn’t look like either of the 2 most common Indian barn owls.
