Spotted Eagle-Owls are nocturnal. They roost during the day, either in trees or among rocks. At sunset they fly out to a perch to hunt. From the perch they scan the ground for movement, using both their eyes and ears to detect it, flying silently in pursuit of whatever suitable prey they see.
What a capture, Aletta! They are difficult to spot.

Die uil smelt so mooi saam met die boom, maar sy oë laat hom uitstaan – pragtige foto.

What a stunning owl. We get barn and tawny owls in the trees above the courtyard. I love to hear them. Great photo.
