    You’ve got a lot of interesting photos in your post list!

    South Africa has a lot of neat owls. We have a lot of bigger ones from Owl Rescue Centre and another place I can’t remember the name from Velddrif that I share in here, but I don’t think I’ve seen any Scops from either of them

    I’m glad you shared this little fellow with us!

      Thanks! I have quite a few photos of owls, most from Kruger. I’ll share more of them.

        That would be extremely cool! I’ve been working on getting more non-North American and European content here this year. There are so many great birds outside of those areas that are hard to get to for most people. You look to have a bunch of great stuff right in your own back yard and within traveling distance.

        I hadn’t heard of Kruger before, but Wikipedia tells me it’s one of the largest game preserves in Africa. (19,623 km2 / 7,576 sq mi) For comparison, that’s just bigger than the state of New Kersey (19,050 km2 / 7354 sq mi) or a little smaller than Slovenia (20,273 km2 / 7,827sq mi).
