Media notes
Calling from date palms beside a flooded wadi at the Sheq River near Hadibo, 4 or 5 birds audible and calling just before.....dusk. Call quite different to African Scops, and recent work indicates this is a distinct species, Socotra Scops Owl.We saw 3 birds, the first just before dusk when it flew and landed on top of nearby bird- the recording posted depicts the squeak of alarm! This one was seen about 20 minutes later and sat nicely till there was a loud click from a camera shutter….. Elevation: 14 m. Date added to IBC: June 23, 2016.
