• Story of the image

  Owls regularly wander to Helsinki during winter, often settling down in well-populated neighbourhood. This Northern hawk-owl had elected to stay in the central cemetery, a delight for local birdwatchers. It didn't seem to care about the attention. I had my lens pointed at it, perched at the top of a tall tree, when it started off in pursuit of a Hooded crow that had been harassing it for a while.
