Hannie Heere, 64, caught a little barn owl learning to fly in the Netherlands. In the picture, which was shared online, the chick seems to run into a sprint . Miss Heere explained that the young owl was actually strengthening its muscles .

The photographer never expected, though, for her photo to be so popular on social media, but on contrary – the adorable photo – caused some big waves online. "I was very, very surprised," the woman said. For more of Hannie's work, you can visit her Facebook!
