Blink and miss
<p>Blink and you might miss the bright yellow, penetrating eyes of a Short-eared Owl <em>Asio flammeus</em>, camouflaged behind a stand of dried grass on the outskirts of metropolitan Navi Mumbai. Its straw coloured, mottled plumage helps break the shape of its body, allowing it to blend seamlessly with grass and rock.</p>
