Marsh Owls are from southern Africa. As the name would indicate, they live in marshes or open grasslands.

They’re an ground nester like the Short Eared Owl, and its habitat is being affected by existing agriculture. They are currently not listed as endangered though, probably due to their fairly wide distribution.

      No, thank you for pointing that out. It didn’t post the link correctly, so I updated the post.

      I only have my phone camera, so generally my pictures are fairly bad quality.

        Haha fair fair. I once tried to photograph an owl, and it was very difficult. I mainly ended up with photographs of blurred locations where an owl had recently been.

          The important thing is you tried! 😉

          Photographing the mushroom is more my speed.
