[Owls] Brown Wood Owls in Tai Po Kau

Brown Wood Owls in Tai Po Kau

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.

Also , there were 2-3 Hodgson's Hawk Cuckoo calling in the picnic area 1 & 2 at around 12:30-4:30am

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
