Blast from the past

I stumbled on this photo of Flores Scops-owl the other day (See: www.birdtourasia.com/lessersundasreport08.html). This is the first photo I have seen of the species not in the hand since I refound it in 1997 on Flores, Indonesia. Sadly we didnt get any photos at the time. I am delighted this little cracker is still bouncing around the trees in the highlands of this fab little island. Well done Birdtour Asia for nailing it.
