African Wood-Owl (Strix woodfordii)Observer
nodiippDescription
The African Wood-Owl was seen at 1:15 on an old branch of our giant Strelitzia Nicolai and has been there until now, 7:13pm. It seems peaceful and settled. It is well hidden by the giant leaves and was observed when I was digging our compost into our heap. I could hear the little birds in the trees chirping in a way that seemed quite unsettled to me. As I looked around to see why they were chirping in this way, I looked into the eyes of this beautiful owl, perched amongst the leaves, about 2.5 meters away.

One of multiple individuals of this species (I'm fairly confident of my ID) flowering in the area burnt in Jan 2019, but displaying an unusual number of petals. A bit of a genetic anomaly I suppose?
