*3.3.4 Eurasian Scops Owl O. scops*

On MacCarthy Island in The Gambia "frog-like" calling of ESO was heard 12/11/2000. That owl calling 8 to 9 s intervals almost all night. As the owl was turning its head and changing the site, one felt there being several of them calling. Next night in the Bird Safari camp ESO was vocal 01:00–01.30 h with a very short "*grrr*" notes and another owl was answering always with whistling type of voice. Then, 02.40 ESO gave a Little Owl like "*kuiv-kuiv-kuiv-kuiv*" call and another owl responded with a similar call.
