You have the eyes of a hawk if you can spot the eagle owl in this country scene in five seconds

TUCKED away in this leafy landscape is a well camouflaged owl, but can you spot it in just five seconds?

The hidden bird is chilling peacefully right in front of your eyes in this mind-boggling optical illusion.

This cunning eagle owl has managed to camouflage with the natural colours as the sun shines down onto the country setting.

Photographer Ingo Gerlach, 67, captured these incredible images while visiting the Masai Mara in Kenya.

Graphic designer Ingo, from Betzdorf, Germany, snapped this milk eagle owl hidden away but admits the image was a fluke as he had no idea there was a creature in the shot.

He said it took him about 12 minutes to spot the fact there's an owl in there.

People on the internet have been left scratching their head over this perplexing puzzle, as the bird sneakily hides just out of sight.

If you manage to spot the owl in just five seconds or under then you have very sharp eyesight.

We challenge you to give this optical game a shot but it may be harder than you think.

Optical illusions are a fantastic way to encourage your mind to think strategically and are becoming popular daily puzzles.

Why not take a moment to delve deeper and take a moment to think outside the box - or rather, within the box.

Didn't manage to find it in time? 

Why not put on your historian hat and try spotting the ten objects from the wrong era hidden in this Victorian scene.

Or, if you prefer spotting fluffy creatures, you might have the eyes of a hawk if you can find the deadly mountain lion in this rocky setting.
