Even although no one is expecting from a barn owl to ever be tenderness, this photographer has captured on camera two owls sharing an extremely affectionate moment!

Owls are known as solitary birds, so it is extremely difficult to spot two owls at the same time, let alone a pair of these birds of pray sharing a kiss. Well, a lucky photographer from the Uk has recently managed to witness such an extremely rare sight. Leslie Arnott has managed to snap a few frames of a truly romantic encounter between two barn owls in a small village of Staffordshire, UK.

“They are quite hard conditions in the dark woodland and the pair flew for a while before sharing their special moment,” the photographer said. “They started rubbing heads and getting quite affectionate. Then came the moment they appeared to kiss each other.’They ‘kissed’ twice…a moment I have never witnessed before or since.”
