Just when I think there are no more birds for me to see in the KTP I managed to add another two birds to my list.

The first being Marsh Owl at Gharagab on 7/09/2021.

Hope you can see them on the image below. :)

WOW, what a congregation :shock: That alone is a sighting that doesn't occur too often!

Is that a Verreaux's on the right and is it possible that there is at least one other marsh owl :-? Maybe even more.
The feathers on some of those of which you can't see the faces don't look like barn owls. But it might be the light playing a trick.
