Area: SA
Date: Thursday, July 21, 2011
Location: Glen Osmond (near Sunnyside Road)
Barking Owl (Ninox connivens) (1) Heard a series of terrible screams coming a
tree at the rear of my house late at night. After I did a search for 'scream'
and 'bird' and 'Adelaide' on the internet, I suspect it was a barking owl.
Southern boobooks are common in the area but it did not sound like one of them.

Black-fronted Dotterel (Elseyornis melanops) (12) Birds were to found on the
margines of all ponds. Goolwa Ponds have been re. landscaped,new ponds,new
roads,new bird hide and native trees and shrubs planted. I observed 27 species

Hassel Road wet lands. The ponds are well worth a visit and can only get better
as the new plantings mature.
