🦉Eurasian Scops Owl

Otus scops (Linnaeus, 1758)

Le Petit-duc scops (Otus scops) est une espèce d'oiseaux Strigiformes de la famille des Strigidae. Il est aussi appelé Hibou petit-duc. Comme son nom l'indique, il s'agit d'un tout petit hibou de la taille d'un merle ; cela en fait l'un des plus petits strigidés d'Europe, avec la Chevêchette d'Europe (Glaucidium passerinum). Il s'agit de l'unique représentant des petits-ducs en France.
