A large Great Grey Owl perches regally on a weathered tree stump inside an outdoor enclosure. The owl’s thick, mottled grey feathers blend with the wood behind it, and one of its eyes appears to be closed or injured. The scene is framed by wooden planks above and metal mesh fencing, with some greenery creeping in from the right.

Saw some beautiful birds, including this Great Grey Owl, at the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre. Total respect to the folks who do this work 🖤🖤🖤
