Picture of snow owls (Bubo scandiacus) I made in the Forest Park of Surprises in Ustron in Poland. In the Polish landscape, in the wild state it is an extremely rare goose. You can meet her in North America - in Scandinavia as well as Central AsiaTime

Snowy owl is a large bird with beautiful white plumage with dark spots on the wings, bottom of the back and bottom. It has a characteristic white shamble around the beak. He has his feathered legs. The female is strongly speckled with dark spots. A very photogenic bird. Snow owl, popularized in "Harry Potter" as Hedwig - is very rare in northern Poland, wintering visitor from Scandinavia and northern Russia. The only option I had was to photograph it in the Forest Park of Surprises in Ustro?.Editing

It is a fluttering bird. Extremely difficult to photograph in an open space. These are by nature very mobile creatures, and shooting them requires a lot of reflexes and mastery. This genre in particular. If someone lives in areas where these birds occur more often than North America or Scandinavia, it has a great opportunity to photograph snowy owls in nature. If not, it is worth looking for in nature parks where it often occurs.
