Arctic owl seen in Aust-Cot.
The bird was spotted at the Karpovo bus station. She was sitting on the roof of the pavilion.
Ornithologist Igor Pavlov confirmed that the photo is indeed a polar owl, although it can often be confused with a black owl. Such birds often fly to our region for the winter at the end of the year.
He added that in the last few days these birds were observed in Baretzek and Bachon. One year ago the birds sat all day in Irkutsk on Lytkin Street, and then flew towards the steppe regions.
