This afternoon I found the Powerful Owl while having a
quiet coffee in the rainforest area. It was roosting high in tall
Blackwood trees just under the top canopy, was disturbed by and
then harrassed by Pied Currawongs which chased it across the gully several
times. It ended up in a tall Blackwood on the cafe side. Best
viewing spot from near the seat at the half circle viewing place, just
below the upper bridge crossing (on the southern, visitor centre side of the
rainforest gully). It is an adult bird.
I was able to show the bird to some of the ANBG Guides who are
leading Breakfast with the Birds walks over Sept and Oct. We hope it might
find a lower roost as its hard to see high in the canopy!
cheers
Jenny
