Two owls are spotted hiding in plain sight: Can you find them?

Two wise owls show they’re no birdbrains when it comes to camouflage – because they’ve been caught hiding in plain sight on a dry stone wall.

Wildlife photographer Villager Jim snapped the pair when he saw them using an old wall and a barn as the perfect cover, SWNS reported.

The clever birds blend effortlessly into their surroundings: their gray and brown plumage blends perfectly with the masonry.

The photographer challenged people to find the little birds in a game he calls “Hunt the Little Owl”.

He recently captured the “undercover” owls while out for a walk in the village of Foolow in the Peak District, England.

The photographer – who has been capturing animals with his camera for 14 years – said the birds are creatures of habit and often return to previous perch points, as reported by SWNS.

He said, “It’s been since I named them all that it’s kind of made people really identify with finding them.”

“They are doing very well, the little owls – their population is increasing.”

He added: “They’re hard to spot. I have a trip that I do. It’s been built around creating a route around where certain birds are nesting. I’m guaranteed or almost guaranteed to catch them. see every day.”

He also said: “I hit the road every day, 365 [days a year], even on Christmas Day. It’s the best job in the world, I love it.”

“I’ve been running this as a business for 14 years,” the photographer said.

“I used to run a software company and unfortunately got sick with diabetes – and suddenly thought I wanted to do what I love,” he told SNWS.

“I fish for a catch rather than go on a fixed mission.”

“I was instantly hooked,” he also said. “Moving into my house…there was a bunny here and I just took my camera.”
