Captured in bright indoor lighting before a hessian pin board, a Spotted Eagle-Owl with wide-eyes and wet-plumage is cloaked in a white cloth. Spiked feathers radiate from his head in all directions, like a hairy durian, accentuating his look of shock and indignation.
We may have found the true paragon of Owls in Towels.
