Field Notes

Description:

The Buffy Fish-owl Bubo ketupu is one of the biggest owls in Borneo. After its size, probably the next thing you will notice is the brilliant yellow iris.

Habitat:

Known for its fishing ability, away from the streams and rivers, it is also attracted by lights. Thus around the habituated areas along the Kinabatangan river, this is easily the most common owl.
