Owlet

The Little Owls’ chick (an owlet - I understand) is getting braver. He (or she) pops out of the hole in the roof of the barn opposite our house to wait for Mum & Dad. It can fly, but seems quite happy to simply be fluffy and look cute (for a young killing machine).
This pic is an edited zoom into the closest I can get. Not really sharp, but the light levels are forcing the shutter speed to slow a bit. Nonetheless, it’s down feathers are still visible.  Hoping to get sharper pics at some point.
