On a walk along a road in Sattal, we came across this strange Collared owlet in bright morning sun. In Swedish it is called a "Janus owl" because it has an "occipital face" ('two faces'). Namely, it has a pattern on the neck that slightlyt resembles an owl's face. I was puzzled, because at first, when I watched it, I could not find any eyes in the "face"... But then it turned its head 180 degrees - and I understood that I had been looking at the neck... The Collared owlet is Asia's smallest owl, only 15-17 cm long but unusually aggressive. It can take prey the same size as itself, although its favorite food seems to be mice of various kinds. Because it changes plumage with age, like crows and eagles, it often, like this bird, acquires an idiosynchratic appearance.
