A few moments ago I was sitting here penning a few words to Tobias about the Monga NP when I had to put it all on hold - Boobook calling outside so I dashed out to investigate.  Couldn't locate it but it was in a rather dense gum only 10 metres away in back neighbour's yard. (Well, ya gotta be careful flashing spotlights around at this time of night!)  There was at least one and possibly 2 other birds nearby answering (?) the closer birds calls.  First time I personally have heard one here in Holder after 37 years.  Just occasionally it pays to be a night owl. .....
