Returned from a date with a pizza last night to a phone call
from our co-diners to say there was a Barn Owl sitting outside their house in
Hackett. Luckily we live around the corner and raced around to crippling views
of it sitting in a leafless tree – a new garden bird for them and an ‘ACT tick’
for me! The same friends also saw another Barn Owl being chased by a raven across
Canberra Ave last Tuesday morning (2 Aug) at about 8.45.

Went out
into the park to see what the local Magpies and Currawongs were upset about and
found a Barn Owl looking down at me from the outer branches of a young Red Box.
Took one look at me and flew off, heading towards Page. Another new one
for the GBS chart.
