Tue nest of the Scops-eared Owl is generally placed — 
in the hole of a tree or a rock, and also in heather. 
Selby says that it constructs no nest; and this is very 
likely the case in some instances at all events: possibly 
that of some other bird is made use of. 
The eggs are white, and from two to four or five, 
or, according to Selby, as many as six in number.
