Short-eared Owl - Red River/Hanoi


The Short-eared Owl was one of my main targets this automn. I have been lucky enough to see recently 3 individuals near Hanoi, along the Red River. This is a short video of one of them. I will send photos later. 
A scarce bird in Vietnam. Or maybe just under-recorded due to the lack of people checking suitable habitat at the good period of the year...

  1. Wow, excellent video Sebastien. Thanks for doing a great job keeping the blog going and reporting all your sightings of scarce birds from around Hanoi. Like the Black Stork pix from last week too.

    All the best,
