Little Owls Hidden in Branches - a photo on Flickriver

            African barred owlet (Glaucidium capense), found in much of southern, central and eastern Africa.  They feed on small mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs, insects, scorpions and caterpillars which are normally caught following a short flight from a perch. Male and female owls sing together to claim territory. Females are slightly larger than males, but both sexes have the same plumage. Egg laying normally takes place in September and November.
