*3.3.3 African Wood Owl S. woodfordii*

In a study in Kibale National Park, Uganda, it was noted that the vocalizations of AWO were more numerous during the full moon and on clear nights [9]. Very few call records were made in this study, although one AWO was recuperated at home in 1982 in Ivory Coast. In Malawi, in the hill forest of Zomba AWO was said to be very common (John Wilson, *in litt.*). In Lilongwe one AWO was calling in the dawn at 18:30 on 14/11/93. In the Kamuzu One, dam AWO was seen just before lunchtime on 26/06/95. One pellet was found under the roosting place, and it contained one house mouse

*Mus musculus*. In The Gambia, AWO was never hear but one was seen near the Abuko Education Centre 15/11/2000 (Solomon Jallow, *in litt.*).
