Brown Hawk Owl

Thanks Ronaldo for your kind words. Luck indeed, but missed out a subsequent Mark Six bet.

BTW, supposed a migrant bird, is this owl rarely seen in HK? I initially thought this a Asian Barred Owlet(班頭鵂鶹). How special is this Northern Boobok (or Brown Hawk Owl)?

All PMs to me were answered separately. Excuse me for not frequenting this chatroom.
