Otus lettia
The Collared Scops Owl is a nocturnal bird, and is rarely seen by day(I found this Bird at about 1.30p.m.That's amazing).Roosts during the day on a densely foliaged branch, perched upright and motionless.It is a small owl with rather long, dark-spotted ear-tufts. Females are usually larger and heavier than males.Nests are in natural cavities or woodpecker holes in tree trunks or dead stumps.
