Although bird fascination should not discriminate or promote any particular species, for me, any encounter with owls is very special and stays in my memory for a long time. There are 13 owl species belonging to the Polish fauna. Till now, with various results, I managed to photograph 12 of them. For the past years I have been collecting information about different places where it is possible to photograph the Snowy Owl - my missing species in the list of Polish owl fauna. In Poland it has been observed only several dozen times.

It happened to me to encounter sheathbills twice. Their most distinctive feature is feeding among penguin colonies. They eat the remains of undigested food, but can also be a threat to newly hatched chicks or not protected penguin eggs. Penguins were watching sheathbills but did not care about them too much and chased them rarely. Snowy sheathbill occurs in Antarctica and Tierra del Fuego. Their weight does not exceed 600 grams and a wingspan of 80 centimeters. They were not skittish, but when the distance was less than 8-10 meters they always took flight.
