Ethiopia- Cape, Verreaux's and Greyish Eagle Owl, Abyssinian Long-eared Owl, African Wood Owl, Pearl-spotted Owlet
Madagascar:Barn Owl, Torotoroka and Madagascar Scops, Madagascar Long-eared, White-browed Owl
Australia: Rufous Owl

Unusual for me not to see Sooty Owl in PNG but not this year, my first dip in many years. I badly need a Tawny Owl, unseen since 1977 I fear…….

Clements 139 with Central Amercian Pygmy Owl and Costa Rican Pygmy Owl in Panama in December 2014-January 2015. Hoping for Striped Owl in Costa Rica in April but it has eluded me before. Unspotted Sawhet and Bare-shanked Screech-owl would be good as well!
