		Owl eggs are white and almost spherical, and range in number from a few to a dozen in some owls.
		Owls are traditionally associated with wisdom and with the goddess Athena, although crows, rooks and many other common birds are more intelligent.

		There is a species called Scops Owl, ''Otus scops'', in Europe, where it is the only scops owl, but it is named as Eurasian Scops Owl in the world listings to avoid confusion with the many tropical species of scops owl.
		This is a small owl, and at 19-21 cm length and a 47-54 cm wingspan is not as large as the Little Owl.
		It is very similar to the slightly smaller Indian Scops Owl, ''O. bakkamoena'' of which it is sometimes considered a race.

		Standing little over a foot tall, the Barn owl is not as imposing as the Eagle owl, but is equally, if not more effective as a predator - it is definitely the most effective predator of murine rodents in urban and rural environments.
		Unlike the closely related common Scops owl 'Otus scops', which lives a somewhat social life, this species is highly territorial.

		Resembles Scops Owl but is slightly larger; has a grayish collar on the nape: orange eyes: feathered toes.
		The collared scops owl, which has only very minor morphal differences in shades of brown rather than grey and rufous phases, ranges from Pakistan and India across to southern China and Japan and down to Malaysia and the Philippines.
		In the forests of Malaysia the collared scops owl is replaced by the forest-dwelling reddish scops owl and, further up in the mountains, by the spotted scops owl; but through the felling and opening of the primary forest, the collared scops owl is spreading inland at the expense of the others.

		For anyone thinking of keeping owls for the first time, the Indian Scops Owl (Otus bakkamoena) is an ideal species to start with.
		Indian Scops Owls measure about 8 inches (20 cms) in length and inhabit lightly wooded regions and dry upland areas as well as orchards, parks and gardens.
		Indian Scops Owls thrive well in quite modest accommodation, I house several pairs within a block of five aviaries, with each one measuring 6ft x 6ft and 9ft deep (2m x 2m x 3m).

		The call was loud, and the owl sounded very close.
		I saw the owl right away; it was perched in a conspicuous spot on a bare twig at the top of a tree, clearly illuminated by the yellow street lamp.
		Then the owl flew away; maybe it realized that the owl "inside" was a fake, or maybe it was frightened by the man's voice "Collared Scops Owl" at the beginning of the track as it repeated.

		The prawn ponds and mangrove inlets are alive with kingfishers; the largest resident species is the Stork-billed Kingfisher (37 cm) which tends to inhabit the deeper tidal mangrove inlets, and the smallest the Common Kingfisher (17 cm) which can be found in the prawn ponds.
		They are to be found roosting in mangroves, or quite often resting at ground level where they lay their eggs on the bare earth.

		When I was about to return to our hotel, an owl began calling so close by that I decided to search for it carefully.

		We were advised not to let the huge (30cm) Tockay Gecko that lurked above the door into the bungalow as they are supposed to have a vicious bite.......it certainly held my respect.
		Other great sightings in this area were Pin-tailed Parrotfinch in their favourite habitat of Bamboo, Plain-pouched Hornbill, Rufous-browed Flycatcher, Great Barbet and for Kim Seng a long-awaited Collared Owlet clutching a similar-sized babbler in it's talons.
