Long-eared Owl | Flurin Leugger
«I cycled to the roost of the owls several times after school or at weekends until I was able to take this picture. The sun was just setting behind a hill close by when the owl was woken by a passing car. The wind provided the necessary gap between the leaves so that I was finally able to take the photograph which I had pictured in my mind’s eye for a long time already.»

«For several days the temperatures were below 0 °C allowing us to hope for deep frozen ice. Under these circumstances Water Rails catch small fish in
the last open water holes. Here several Water Rails left their usual cover at a hurried pace to reach such places. How did I obtain this picture? Lying on
ice for hours, snowed in and chilled to the bones – but happy!»
