From Kuwait Environmental Eye

Good morning from Kuwait!

Photography of the Pharaoh Eagle Owl with Kuwait City

The largest owl in the Middle East lives in the north and west of Kuwait, specifically between the rocky highlands of Jal Al-Zour in Barr Kazma and the crevices of Al-Shaqaya

It is called the Pharaoh Eagle Owl because it is clear that this is due to its large size, which is about the size of eagles and vultures.

I took stills from what looks to be clips of drone footage and put them in the comments.

      I really loved this one. Pharaoh is such a good looking owl, and the city and water look so nice, and I’ve never seen an owl pic including camels before!

        Yes, the background and camels are quite unique. For the owl I really like the zoomed in pic where it’s looking straight into the camera. Feels like a paparazzo stalking a celebrity.

          It only seemed moderately interested in the drone, mainly when it was moving.

          I’d think the whirring noise would be obnoxious with their great hearing. I’m glad it doesn’t seem to, as drones will help people observe more owls while disturbing them less.
