Spotted Eagle Owl seen in May by Marc Schreiner
Spotted Eagle Owl seen in Arum Avenue by Wally Peterson in July 2013.
There were two of them and for the last two /three autumn/winters have been seen on my roof [Heron Circle] and also in Flamingo in the early evening I had no idea they were not regular visitors.
well, that’s great. I love these birds. Do you know who has owl boxes up for these guys? I know that there is one at LIght House ROad, but am unaware of the occupancy thereof.
If you see anything interesting alive in South Africa, please take the time to as well put it on http://www.iSpot.org.za (southern Africa) and upload it there. it is a national website, trying to compile anything alive here for anybody in the world to see. Membership is free, and at first you can just go there as guest loolking up the things that have been uploaded.
That is a wonderful contribution we can do for our national treasures.
Thanks for all the effort taken to conserve, observe and just “be there”.

My dad is going to love this. They are visiting in August from Botswana. He’s a bird fanatic (Twitcher) 🙂 Can’t wait to show him all the bird-life
