Pearl Spotted Owlet - Glaucidium perlatum.

Kazinkini - Botswana 2015 .

 

Pearl spotted owlet's are one of Southern Africa's smallest owls. They are 'earless' owls. They have mock eyes at the back of their heads. This will confuse the predator as to which way the owl is facing.

 

Many thanks for the faves, and comments, they are all very much appreciated.
