Many thanks Anthony, Mark, Denis - at least one young boobook then-

(looks like that Morecombe app is only available for smart phones..?)

Robin, the cricket-like trill call is typical of young boobooks. There's a good example of the call on the Morcombe app, and I'm sure there are other examples elsewhere

Cheers

On two early (c. 9 pm) evenings  in the last few days in Toms Crescent, Ainslie, two birds have been first heard (with repeated "chrring" calls over a longish period), and then briefly seen on power lines, and power poles, and flitting (hawking insects??) between them. The birds seem (the light was very poor and I had no flashlight) to be about the size of boobooks. However, the calls, to my ears, were unlike any owl or frogmouth calls that I've heard.
Do they ring a bell to anyone  - perhaps juvenile calls?  (I was intrigued by Jenny Smits note re "trilling" of Barking Owls earlier today).

I tried a snap photo but it is so poor it doesnt  help  - except to suggest a vaguely owlish shape?
