A sleeping owl has left admirers of the creature in awe after it camouflaged itself inside a tree trunk.

Alice McKay, 67, was visiting Britannia Conservation Area in her hometown of Ottawa in Ontario, Canada, when she photographed the owl hiding in plain sight last month.

The retired school teacher was thrilled to have found the grey owl resting peacefully inside the tree's crevasse.
