Scops Owl
I saw a Scops Owl face to face for the fist time and take some photos of it.

Near 20years ago when I was 8, I hear it's song first time and every time we went to our village in taleghan I sleep with song of Scops Owl. I was so interested to see it but not success to find and after 20 years i found it

finding Scops Owl also have a story, today I went with my parents and my niece Mozhdeh. She is 9 years old.

Mozhdeh and me went to take photo of birds and we hear the voice of woodpecker. She really interested to see woodpecker, we went slowly and slowly into the garden to see woodpecker but suddenly I saw a bird that flying near me and sit on a tree and I found it is a Owl.

It's gone when I wanted to take a photo of it. I was so sad that miss this opportunity to take a photo of owl.

We wanted back home and I played the voice of birds that I recorded on my mobile phone for Mozhdeh.
I played the song of Scops Owl and sayed Mozhdeh this is Scops Owl's song and suddenly the real Scops Owl start singing

Wonderful we follow the song and found it.
