As part of science week we went yesterday night on a
night tour of the ANBG. lots of powerful owl food around - BT and RT Possums
and sugar gliders. Only avian voice heard was that of a Fan-tailed Cuckoo
(8:30 pm and pitch dark).
Around midday on Saturday I bumped into Will at the
gardens and he told me about the owl but when he showed me the location the owl
was already gone, presumably due to harrassment by the currawongs.
Robyn and I went to the gardens on Sunday to search
for the owl in the rainforest gully as well as all previously observed roosting
locations (assuming it may be the same owl as two years ago). Our search was
fruitless and Will had been similarly unsuccessful in relocating
it.
Definitely worth keeping it in mind when visiting
ANBG.
Regards,
Leo.
