Sorry, John. the Boobook today was at Jarramlee Pond in Dunlop. -
about 2 metres off the ground in a small tree not four metres tall
-and very tame. Friends reported that it was being mobbed by magpie
larks, a magpie, white plumed HEs and (perhaps from curiosity) a
couple of the local Indian Mynah population. By the time we got
there they had all gone off for a tea break so all was quiet.
If anyone wants to try tomorrow it was in the tree beside the one
seat overlooking the pond. By then it might have selected a branch
with a little less foliage in the way!

Today I caught Hogwarts Exress with lots of other birding wizards

Also had good look a Tawny Frogmouth which, initially, some dope
(me), said was a Boobook.
