PEL'S FISHING OWL Scotopelia peli GROUND SURVEY OF THE OLIFANTS RIVER, KRUGER NATIONAL PARK 2007-2010

A ground-based survey of Pel's Fishing Owl Scotopelia peli along the Olifants River in the Kruger National Park was conducted from the 22nd-25th of June 2008 by two teams of observers from SAN-Parks, staff and volunteers from EWT-BoPWG. This ground survey was the second to be conducted for the Pel's Fishing Owl and other selected species occurring along the Olifants River in the Kruger National Park since the detailed surveys conducted by Keith Begg (unpubl. data) in the early 1990's. It was preceded by a similar survey being conducted over the corresponding week in 2007 and forms part of the registered research project focused on this species within the Kruger National Park.2008年6月22日至25日，由南非国家公园（SAN-Parks）的两支观测团队，以及EWT-BoPWG的工作人员与志愿者组成的调查组，针对克鲁格国家公园奥利凡茨河沿岸的佩尔渔鸮（Pel's Fishing Owl，学名*Scotopelia peli*）开展了地面调查。 本次地面调查为自20世纪90年代初基思·贝格（Keith Begg，未发表数据）开展详细调查以来，针对克鲁格国家公园奥利凡茨河沿岸佩尔渔鸮及其他选定物种的第二次同类调查。本次调查紧随2007年同期开展的同类调查之后，同时也是克鲁格国家公园内针对该物种的注册研究项目的组成部分。
