ANBG Powl

[Martin Butterfield <>]

If DNA of the appropriate structure can be gathered from owl-poop then there is plenty of material to work from in this case!

I believed, from its hoots, that the Turner owl was a male. I didn't know that this ANBG bird  had been identified as a male. I was told that ANU had identified the Turner bird as a male from DNA tests. If that is so, and this bird was also DNA-tested; perhaps it would be possible to identify whether it was the same bird, or closely-related.

John, you were probably the most familiar with the Turner Powl.  Do you think it might be the same bird?  If I recall correctly it was a male too.

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.
