While driving home from Newcastle this
afternoon(3/10) on the F3,.just south of Wyong Creek, I spied a suspicious road
kill which looked remarkably like a Masked Owl. After a hurried stop in the
break down lane , I walked back the several 100 metres to discover it was indeed
a relatively freshly killed Masked Owl.
It is now residing in my(spare) freezer as I want
to show it to Alan Morris when he returns from his current
trip.
Masked Owl are reported reasonably frequently on
the Central Coast but heard more often than seen. It may be a first record
for the Wyong Shire but only Alan Morris can confirm that.
