I heard the owls were calling very sharply in the forested area during our owling session at around 9pm, indeed, it was an abnormal and eerie call during the month of the Chinese hungry ghost festival, but I strongly believe the eerie call must be the call of the owls or any nocturnal wildlife.
At the beginning, it's difficult for me to locate them, however, with my passion and patience, I finally found two adorable owls with the white head robe perching on one of the big trees. I was really lucky to locate them, and had a wonderful moment to digiscope and record their eerie call.
It's my first picture and call record of a pair of Brown Wood Owl fledglings, probably the first fledgling call recorded in Malaysia.

Happy Owling, and Keep Watching, Keep Listening and Keep Exploring.
