African Wood-Owl (Strix woodfordii). Arabuko-Sokoke National Park, Kenya.

The "wood" in this species scientific name is a coincidence, named after Colonel E.J.A. Woodford, a British soldier and naturalist during the Napoleonic Wars.

Sokoke Scops Owl (Otus ireneae) in Arabuko Sokoke Forest Kenya!

A small owl with a tiny range along the East African coast. Note the yellow eyes, the small ear tufts. Its endangered species living in Kenya's vulnerable coastal forest. Their decline can be attributed to loss of suitable habitat!

Saved the best #Owl for its own post. Arguably 'Bird of the Trip' (especially as it's not a wader!). Seen in Arabuko forest #Kenya the beautiful, tiny, enigmatic and endangered Sokoke Scops Owl, Africa's smallest Owl. This trio are of the rufous morph. #BirdsSeenIn2026

Sane Republicans are a rarer breed than the Sokoke cat.

I've been blocked by over sensitive, brainwashed petals in denial, 2 x today.
But at least I have a lovely cat. He is a "sokoke" cat.
Only "self bred" type of cat.
A rescued feral kitten, now a love bunny, when it suits him.
He broke a leg already, and has used up some lives.

You find a pet abandoned in the park and it looks like the rarest cat in the world.

For pet parents ready to take a walk on the wild side, it doesn't get much wilder (or rarer) than the Sokoke cat, also sometimes called a Sokoke hybrid because it was originally thought to be a hybrid...

This tiny owl, found only in Kenya’s coastal forests, is one of the rarest owls in the world. With its soft bark-like plumage, it blends seamlessly into tree trunks, making it nearly invisible. A ghost of the forest, heard more often than seen.
