Asian barred Owlet
This Owlet was very comfortable to my presence , It was 1:30 in the afternoon and i went for a small trek, expecting nothing because of the lateness of the day. This guy was very well camouflaged among Pine trees and i did not see it until it actually flew from a tree. I had a hard time locating it the second time. This time it again flew and perched on a nearby tree in the open. I approached it slowly and strangely this time it allowed me to get as close i could get, a ridge separating us with a steep fall below. I shot it then observed it for some 15 minutes and then left.
