Perfectly blended into its surroundings is the tall Verreaux’s owl – also known as the milky owl or giant owl, perched comfortably in a tree.
Don’t panic if you haven’t spotted it – the owl has perfectly camouflaged itself in the brown branches of an imposing tree.
Henri Olckers, 36, of Caters News, is a photographer who has been photographing wildlife for more than ten years.
He captured this impressive owl scene in South Africa’s Kruger National Park.
