Boobook on Red Hill - sound track?

[David Nicholls <>]

I'm not sure what this is, but it has made this sound sporadically for the past two nights. It was sitting last night in a Silver Birch tree near our balcony (western end of Deakin, 200 metres below the Red Hill reserve).  This was recorded at 2.30am. Does anyone know what it might be?  It went on for a few minutes each night then stopped.
