Pearl-spotted owlet (Glaucidium perlatum) from Botswana. The pearl-spotted owlet occurs in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly widespread across savanna in southern Africa, across north and central Namibia, south to southern limit of arid bushveld and woodland in south Namibia. Their occurrence continues further north through Botswana and Zimbabwe up to Sudan and west to Senegal.
What a pretty owl! I hope this one makes an appearance in the next owl of the year competition.
I like many of the Owlets. I feel they have a little more pizzazz than the Pygmy Owls.
I’m getting eager for Owl of the Year already myself. I do want to have you all pick some entries this time too.
This style of owl always gives real Juggernaut vibes lol. It’s the helmet head
🤣🤣🤣 Your Photoshop skills never fail
The surprise! The shock! The awe! The aww! 🦉
