Barn owl? Ainslie

[David Rees <>]

True, but you also get them at places such as Yerrongabilly caves up the the mountains, hardly rainforest.  However I agree with Philip that a Barn Owl is more likely.  Also now is the time of year when mouse numbers are likely to be at their highest in the general environment and barn owls are likely to 'wander' in response.

Susanne,

Sooty Owl is a rainforest species, so it is improbable.

Hi

For the last few nights I have heard a screech in the dark, including being woken with a start. Have not had any luck with hearing it without background noise or even spotlighting or recording. Have narrowed it down to a Barn owl or maybe Sooty.

Any thoughts on what is more likely? Or what else I should pay attention to?

I am in north Ainslie. We do get the odd Boobook, and I had a Barking Owl not too long ago.
