Year after year, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards are held to honour the masters of nature photography. Owls are known to be nocturnal creatures, so when they are spotted during the day, it is as good as a rare sight. The particular photograph was taken while Arshdeep was driving along with father in Punjab’s Kapurthala area. He saw the owlet in an old pipe and asked his father to stop the car, so that he could capture the moment. Just as he was about to click, another owlet put its head out and he got a picture perfect.
