OWL LOVE YOU. A preening barn owl forms a love heart shape while stood on a post. Timothy Lees, 39, was teaching at the Staffordshire Bird of Pray photography day on the Teddesley Park Estate, Staffordshire, helping people get into and improving their photography skills luckily had his camera at hand to capture the moment. The wildlife photographer and wildlife officer, said, "The birds name is Lilly, a 12 years old barn owl rescued by The Owl Sanctuary in Haughton , Stafford. We offer these days for photographers who through disability, age or experience would not be able to get close to these birds but also to help out the bird rescue sanctuary that has been financially hit during the lockdown period." "I always have my camera on hand usually to check backgrounds and angles so to tell people where they need to stand for the best shots and I noticed the shape it was forming while preening and couldn’t resist taking this shot."
