A horizontal nocturnal wildlife shot captures an Oriental Scops Owl (Otus sunia) perched on a slender, diagonal branch in the rainforest of Mount Harriet National Park (Mount Manipur National Park). The owl is turned slightly, its large yellow eyes and cryptic, spotted plumage sharply defined against a pitch-black background. Dappled green leaves are softly illuminated in the corner. This evocative image is perfect for birdwatching guides, wildlife photography portfolios, and nature conservation media focused on the Andaman Islands.
