Jungle Owlet (Glaucidium radiatum)

shot in the forests of central india.. In the jungles of 'jungle book'.. when guide spotted it, it took some people literally 10-15 minutes properly to spot it.. Cause it got camouflaged easily with the bark behind it..

Amazing picture. You were really well positioned. I see that Ferdy put this into the "Masters of Camoflage" list which is so appropriate. Posted 10 years ago

The Jungle owlet

The jungle owlet, or barred jungle owlet, is found in the Indian Subcontinent. The species is often found singly, in pairs or small groups and are usually detected by their calls at dawn and dusk. There are two subspecies with the form found in the Western Ghats sometimes considered a full species.
