The Pharaohess, the Great Queen, She guides me through this endless desert, She knows every corner of it. She's the only presence in this entire desert and I owe Her my submission and devotion. Uhoo? Uhoo! #darkart #occultart #owl #owls #bubo #pharaoh #eagleowl #darkdrawing #digitaldrawing #buboascalaphus #bascalaphus #desert #dusk

TIL a Bubo bubo (eagle-owl) terrorized two entire Dutch villages back in 2015, having swoop down and attacked 50 people, inflicting wounds onto many of them. LOL

I was initially skeptical of this information, sounded like a funny satire straight from The Onion, especially of how the villagers reacted (selling owl-shaped chocolates for "protecting against the terrifying oehoe", using theatrical masks behind their heads because "she doesn't attack while you're looking at her", using umbrellas... I mean... ROFL!!). But, yeah, there are actual videos across several Dutch sources so, seems like it was a real thing.

She picked up her phone to take a picture. And didn't look at the broody female ughoo for a moment. And you shouldn't do that. 'Oe-hoe', it sounded and the owl attacked in a dive. Frederique didn't even see it coming. ,,A great blow to my head, from behind, and push at the same time. left in my corner of the eye I saw only a leg, and a wing. I was feeling her nails prick hard in my head. Immediately she flew on. The roof again.”
A blow, a push, scratches everywhere, coat torn, crying Frederique ran off the dyke, at the company Hesseling inside. ,,There they laughed a bit first, until they saw the blood near my ear.''
At Hesseling, they've seen the oehoe before. In the meadow area around it, she defends her territory and occasionally attacks passers-by. ,,When I walk to the container behind here in the morning, outside, I keep looking up,'' says Arno Smeege of the company. ,,This is quite scary.''And, the specific owl who (pun intended) attacked these Dutch villagers, the terrifying oehoe... I'm terrified by the majestic beauty! I truly wish I could be attacked this manner... 🦉🖤 She wants our meat LOL 💀

Ein Moment absoluter Stille – nur der Flügelschlag im goldenen Abendlicht.
Dieser Uhu zog lautlos an der Felswand entlang, perfekt vom letzten Licht des Tages gezeichnet. Ein kurzer, fast unwirklicher Augenblick.

A moment of pure silence—just the beat of wings in golden light.
This eagle owl passed silently along the rock face, shaped by the last light of the day. A brief, almost unreal encounter.

Ein junger Uhu breitet seine großen, noch flaumigen Flügel aus, während er von einem Felsvorsprung startet. Sein weiches Jugendgefieder und die noch nicht vollständig entwickelten Federn sind deutlich sichtbar. Die kräftigen Fänge sind nach vorne gestreckt, bereit zur Landung oder zum Greifen. Die helle, zerklüftete Felswand im Hintergrund unterstreicht den natürlichen Lebensraum dieser imposanten Eulenart.

A juvenile Eurasian eagle-owl spreads its large, still fluffy wings as it launches from a rocky ledge. Its soft juvenile plumage and not yet fully developed feathers are clearly visible. The powerful talons are extended forward, ready for landing or grasping. The pale, rugged rock face in the background highlights the natural habitat of this impressive owl species.
