Photographer’s magical snaps capture the owl’s mysterious world

While these mythical animals are often anonymous, nocturnal creatures that are rarely seen, owls are among the most fascinating and respected birds. 

Those fortunate enough to spot an owl in the wild are considered very lucky.

Photographer, Sasi Smith, however, has a much closer relationship with these wonderful birds.

Sani Smith is an accomplished Thai nature photographer who specialises in capturing the owl’s image.
