Dear All,

As there are quite a few emails to this chatline that I simply don't get, I've missed the conversation on the 'trilling' call of young boobooks.  The sound the owl that I've identified as the (unlikely) Masked Owl made was clearly like a very loud cricket as described in that conversation.  However, the bird that fluttered at my window was much larger than a Boobook, with darker chestnut stomach and wings. It could have been a large Barn Owl only it had no clear pale portions.  Does anyone have an alternative ID that might be more likely?
