ANBG Powl

[Martin Butterfield <>]

When the first metro-Powl turned up in ANBG it was estimated that 400 extra people came to the gardens to see it.  Which is good that folk are interested in the owl, and exposing them to the gardens was also good.

the earlier bird was often lower than this one.  Despite the attention it stayed around for quite a while.  I think large owls generally treat humanity with great disdain!

People were being told about it at the Visitor Centre yesterday. If it's like the one at Turner it will carry-on despite all the attention.

In the same tree but much higher up today, probably double the height from yesterday, receiving excessive attention from what seemed like every visitor to the gardens (including all the non-birders). I presume it's presence is being advertised at the visitor centre. If I was the owl I wouldn't stick around much longer.

Just after I found it this afternoon, a group of a dozen or more people arrived to see it, and the owl took a keen interest in all the activity below it. The dense, dark vegetation makes photography difficult. The clearest view was from directly below the bird.
