Media notes
Short-eared Owl - 3 different individuals with different face patterns
Observation details
Were sighted resting under the grass tuft on the opposite direction of the sunlight. Had a closer observation of all the 3 birds for close to 15 mins each. The characteristic short ear tuft, yellowish orange iris, mottled back are clearly observed. the facial disc on each varied in size and patterns, and the face as if different like that of human's face. All three kept a close watch on the birds soaring above (short-toed snake eagle, black-winged kite)
