In a quiet corner of India, Sarthak Ranganadhan’s lens caught an endearing scene among a family of spotted owlets. Two adults perched closely together, seemingly sharing a tender moment, while their young offspring stood nearby, its closed eyes and expression resembling a mix of amusement and secondhand embarrassment.
The photograph, aptly titled Smooching Owlets, captures the whimsical side of wildlife that often goes unnoticed. The owlets’ posture and interaction give the image a relatable, almost humanlike charm, drawing smiles from viewers.
Ranganadhan’s ability to observe and frame such an intimate and humorous moment highlights the unique personalities of these birds. The image serves as a delightful reminder that even in the animal kingdom, family dynamics can spark both affection and amusement.
