We heard a pair of Brown wood owls in Tai Po Kau this morning ( at around 1:30-3:30am , picnic area 2 )
The following link is the owl's calling recorded by Peter by using an iPhone4. http://images4.fotop.net/albums4/pitarhk/pitarhk91/BWO.mp3
Also , there were 2-3 Hodgson's Hawk Cuckoo calling in the picnic area 1 & 2 at around 12:30-4:30am Author: mchristine Time: 10/04/2011 23:13

Good to know they are still in TPK! Do you have any idea how far away they it was calling from? The call carries a long way but I have had no success recording it.

The owls were moving and I guess the shortest distance between us is just around 20 meters. ( maybe standing on the tree-crown and watching us !! )
Finding the brown wood owls is a difficult task
By the way , I'm really interested to know how many BWO are living in HK now. Maybe the one heard in Lam Tsuen and this one are actually the same individuals .. who knows Author: camanda Time: 12/04/2011 11:05 Subject: Brown Wood Owl Calling
Glad to hear the owls are still around. Paul & I heard at least one wood owl calling around 9.30- 10pm 2 weeks ago. We heard it from our house (in Tai Po Kau) and it sounded like it was on the tree ridge between the house and the AFCD offices.
Had mentioned it to Dylan who had also been hearing Wood owl that same week in Lam Tsuen, so fingers crossed we have several pairs now present. Agree would be great to know just how many. Will post sooner next time we hear it!
