For those having trouble finding the Turner Bowling Club Powerful Owl, I offer the following botanical directions:
When seeking the third E–W row of trees, ignore the short row of Pinoaks which were used as a summer roost. Row one to the south of the Bowling Club shed is then Deodar Cedrus deodara, row two alternates Deodar and
what we locally call Pencil Pine Cupressus sempervirens, and row three is (I hate to say it) Radiata Pine Pinus radiata.
If you lean your back on the S side of the sixth tree from McCaughey St in row two (a Deodar), and look more or less south into the canopy of the fifth tree in row three, it is often very easy to spot the owl. Smart bird, on the northern side of the tree
to maximise sun access.
There are many pellets underneath.
