It would be great if we could share our owl sightings here -
if possible with date (month and year will do) and where they were spotted \O

The only pearl-spotted owlet I've ever seen in my life. But they are pretty little things.
This one I captured in Urikaruus camp (from the gangway) in March this year.

Absolutely beautiful, Dewi! O:V

The barn owls - was that at the now non-existing nest at the entrance of the 14th Borehole?
