The birdwatching highlight of my weekend eating and drinking in the Yarra
Valley was my second ever sighting of a Powerful Owl. It was sitting in a
tree at the back of our motel which was near Healesville Sanctuary, about
6m off the ground, watching me intently. I looked around for a possible
mate but didn't see any. The motel owner knew enough about birds to know
that a powerful owl was something pretty good, and mentioned that his wife
had been hearing a "different sounding" owl at night recently. Didn't see
much else in the way of birds as the weather was a bit wet, apart from a
couple of lovely rufous fantails and lots of white-naped and yellow-faced
honeyeaters.
Cheers,
Koren
