The Collared Owlet is a small, widely distributed owl found across a broad range of Asia. It is known for its distinct 'collar' of darker feathers around its neck and diurnal habits.
Where to spot
Widespread across Asia, from the Himalayas to Southeast Asia, inhabiting forests, woodlands, and gardens, often at higher elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, whistled 'hoo-hoo-hoo' call. Look for it perched openly on branches, often mobbed by smaller birds, which can lead to its discovery.
When to spot
Primarily diurnal, active during the day, especially at dawn and dusk. Can also hunt at night.
This owlet is often bold and fearless, sometimes approaching observers closely, and it is known to mimic the calls of other birds to attract prey, showcasing its clever hunting strategy.
