The Marsh Owl often hunts during the day, but also at night, before and after the sunset.

The Marsh Owl gives harsh, rasping “krikkk-krikkk” resembling the noise produced by breaking a dry branch very slowly.

The Marsh Owl of nominate race is found in suitable habitats, and it is present in numerous protected areas.

If you are traveling near Kenitra in the winter months, particularly in February, then you are bound to spot flamingos, godwits, and, if you are lucky, the rarer African marsh owl.
