Spotted eagle owl gets mobbed by every other bird in the Kalahari

A spotted eagle owl, my first sighting in the Kalahari!, being mobbed by both African Gray Hornbills, Souther Yellow-Billed Hornbills, and Fork-Tailed Drongos. Also hanging out was a Pearl-spotted owlet (probably unintentionally), a Golden-Tailed Woodpecker, a Cape Starling, a Groundscraper Thrush, and White-browed Sparrow-Weavers. The drongo dashes in front of the camera a few times.

The continuous bubbing that you can hear in the background is the yellow-billed hornbills and high pitched keens are the African Gray hornbills. Other chirps/screeches are from the drongo. I have never seen this many species in the tree at once, and I'm not at all sure if they were all mobbing or just flew over to see what was happening!
