A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Otus senegalensis
The smallest owl in the region, it roosts on tree branches close to the tree trunk during the day (as in example) it is very well camouflaged
Bushveld and dry open woodlands
This is one of the resident Scops Owls at Satara rest camp. We were pleased when a neighbor called us out to see it.

Awesome pic
Really cool looking bird. And the camouflage is very effective.
