Glaucidium perlatum Pearl-spotted Owlet Witkoluil
Kamonande, Oct 2022
A breeding resident. Fairly common and widespread both across the Waterberg and in the surrounding thorn savanna Waterberg (50% in, 50% out; recorded in 54% of the Waterberg pentads); it favours open woodland, typically in non-rocky, relief-free country; usually encountered as single birds or in pairs while breeding; its presence is mostly detected from hearing its piercing whistled call, especially in late winter and spring. Breeds in early summer.
