African scops owl calling I have another owl for you today. One of the coolest of our owls has to be the diminutive African scops owl, Otus senegalensis. It is such a regular of the bushveld at night that it is almost an icon of the night #nature #bushveld #bird #birds #owl #owls #owlsofinstagram #scops #scopsowl #ecotraining | Derek Keats

🔎 Meet the Eurasian Scops-owl – Malta’s smallest visiting owl! 🦉 This nocturnal hunter visits during both migrations, feeding on insects and small mammals with its sharp beak and powerful claws. By day, it blends perfectly into tree branches, making it almost invisible! Have you ever spotted one? 👀✨ Editing by Yusuf Gamal, Additional photograph Zoltán Kerényi, Ray Galea, Denis Cachia, Nathan Gambin, and BirdLife Malta team. #EurasianScopsOwl #NocturnalHunter #RingingThursdays #BirdLifeMalta |
