About These Birds
Uhu
Der Uhu gehört zu den größten Eulenarten der Welt; Weibchen erreichen mitunter eine Flügelspannweite von fast zwei Metern. Sein tiefer, dröhnender Ruf ist in ruhigen Nächten bis zu vier Kilometer weit zu hören. Als Spitzenprädator steht der Uhu an der Spitze der Nahrungskette unter den Vögeln und erbeutet auch andere Greifvögel wie Bussarde und kleinere Eulen.
African Scops-owl
The African Scops-owl is a small, cryptically patterned owl with a wingspan of about 26 cm and a weight near 88 g. It roosts by day pressed against tree bark, blending in perfectly, and calls at night with a repetitive, monotone whistle across African savannas and woodlands.
