Owl peeps through its wings as it prepares to dive feet-first into a river

EYE say! An owl peeps through its wings as it prepares to dive feet-first into a river to grab a snack.

But the 11in buffy fish owl was left hungry on this occasion after it missed its intended prey.

The image was captured on the Cisadane River in Bogor, Indonesia, by photographer Ajar Setiadi, 54. 

He said: “Sometimes nature will surprise you.

As he started to gain momentum, droplets of water were flying everywhere and his feathers became soaked.”

In other pictures the owl is seen mid-flight, talons at the ready as it dives for its dinner.
