A Pearl-spotted Owlet on the wing. This image is one of a burst I managed to get of this bird in flight in Akagera National Park. This species is one of a few diurnal owl species, which makes it a lot easier to photograph than others!

Critically endangered. Deeply powerful.

Starting this week with a pocket-sized species - the Pearl-spotted Owlet.

📍Akagera National Park, Rwanda.

#Birds #NaturePhotography 🪶
A small, round, brownish owl that is often active by day. It has white speckles on its back and tail; white spots (not bars) on the crown and head are diagnostic. The presence of white-ringed, black blobs on the back of the head give the impression of “false eyes”. Singles and pairs are common in moist and arid wooded savanna, including near villages.
