A medium-sized, rotund owl often found during the day on exposed perches such as telephone wires. Brown overall with brown-barred underparts. Similar to Collared Owlet, but Asian Barred lacks false eye spots on the back of the head, has darker brown barring on the sides, and is larger. Calls (a long series of mellow toots) mostly at night, but can often be located during the day by the presence of mobbing songbirds. Found in a wide range of wooded habitats, including large parks and gardens.

For most of my professional life, I have worked in the world of technology, helping shape digital platforms and transformation journeys. Photography offers a different perspective—one measured not in deadlines and data, but in patience, light, and observation. Drawn particularly to birds and wild landscapes, I spend time exploring diverse habitats across India and beyond. This collection is a reflection of those journey and the remarkable moments nature reveals to those willing to wait.
