The Spotted Owlet is a common and adaptable small owl found across a vast range of Asia. It is known for its small size and often being active during the day, even in urban areas.
Where to spot
Widespread across the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia, inhabiting open woodlands, agricultural areas, and urban environments.
How to spot
Listen for its harsh, chattering 'chirurr-chirurr-chirurr' call. Look for it perched openly on buildings, utility poles, or in tree cavities, often in pairs.
When to spot
Primarily crepuscular (dawn/dusk) and nocturnal, but often active and visible during the day, especially on overcast days.
