Owl of Athena, Little Owl (Athene noctua) was seen again on a Temple of another goddess, Artemis!
In ancient Greek mythology, Artemis is the goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, nature, vegetation, childbirth, care of children. Maybe this is the reason why a Little Owl is often using Artemis Temple in Vravrona as a perching spot. During a warm winter day, the bird was seen again fearless, enjoying the sun.
