About These Birds
Annobon Scops-owl
The Annobon Scops-owl is a critically endangered small owl endemic to Annobón Island, with a wingspan of about 26 cm and weighing around 67 grams. As one of the rarest owls in Africa, it faces severe threats from its extremely restricted island range. Its nocturnal habits and small population make conservation efforts especially urgent.
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.
