A breeding resident. Scarce to fairly common, it occurs widely across the Waterberg (recorded in 29% of the Waterberg pentads) and is found in almost any habitat from urban to woodland to agricultural areas, usually as single birds or in pairs; it is mostly detected from hearing its mellow hooting call at night; a frequent road victim, more so than other owls. Breeds in early summer.
