Glorious shot!! What amazing creatures, the colour and textures and shape – and you got away with your life and a photo!!
:-))), funny to think of this octopus attacking me, smallfox; I suppose it would have to be a lot more riled up. Thanks so much for the “glorious”! AMR

Wonderful!!
Thanks so much Tainia! I’ve been following your bird question and am glad to hear you’ve found out it is a spotted turtle dove! Being from the US, I figured I better keep my two cents out of the discussion; but I could tell it was not a collared dove ;-)! AMR

LOL thanks AMR I thought I’d found an Australian exotic :) It’s a pretty dove anyway :)
Fabulous capture! The defensive posture of the baby owl is very similar!
Thanks for dropping on both these “huge” critters, Trish! AMR
