Spotted Wood Owl

Spotted wood owls are residents of Singapore. Sometime of the year, we can spot them nesting. If we are lucky, we will be able to spot the children from young, usually with white feathers.

The nesting place for the little one. When we can only steal a little peak when we bird watch during the nesting time.

Here is the owl video when it was nested in the nest before it fledged. 

A day after it fledged, it fell, saved by Acres. An eventful day recorded in this video.

This Spotted Wood Owl was perched so low at Berlayer Creek that nobody knows about it.
I was actually trying to take a picture of the ashy tailorbird that I sensed 2 big eyes watching me from behind. Was so glad it turned out to be the spotted wood owl. 
Spotted Wood Owls are considered common resident in Singapore but we still need a little fate to meet them.
