Owl spotted in Volgograd, marking a rare sighting in the city

Volgograd residents were treated to a rare sight on Tuesday when an owl was spotted in the city center.

The bird was perched on a branch of a tree in the Gagarin Park, and was reportedly observed by several people in the area.

Owls are not commonly seen in urban areas, and their presence in Volgograd is considered unusual. Ornithologists believe that the bird may have flown into the city in search of food.

The owl was identified as a tawny owl, which is a medium-sized owl with a distinctive hooting call. Tawny owls are found in forests and woodlands, and are known to prey on small rodents and birds.

The sighting of the owl in Volgograd has generated excitement among birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. The bird is expected to remain in the city for a few days before moving on to a more suitable habitat.
