Description
The sign in the aviary said it is not an owl. I can't believe it remained still while I snaped the shot. I was less than half a meter away.

Well, looks like an owl to me, but what do I know. Great close up. Love the eyes.
It's feathers look like bark from a tree! Kind of like a cross between an owl and a hawk...
Agree with David concerning the "wolfs' feathers". It's great how You captured the moment and managed to make the closeup!
sure looks like one! almost looks stuffed (hopefully not great capture!
I asked a friend of mine who knows a lot about birds, and he says this one is a Nictybius, possibly N. griseus, an insect-eating bird. Really looks like an owl but isn't... Sorry but I don't know the common name for the bird in english, so the scientific classification will have to do ;-)
Looks like a frog mouth, cool :)
Most probably a nighthawk or nightjar. Search the internet for: caprimulgus Great picture by the way!
