Barn Owl in Duffy

[Jean Casburn <>]

Imagine sitting in the sun in the total quiet of Duffy – no cars no birds calling, no dogs.

Then suddenly a cacophony of Currawongs flying in all directions from everywhere.  Join in Magpie Lark, Aus Ravens, Red Wattlebirds, Common Myna and Bowerbirds.

Distantly a convergence towards a few very tall trees. Symphony of sounds goes on for quite a while then settles to a lower tone. Several Currawongs return to my Street along with smaller birds Bowerbirds and Red Wattlebirds.

Squarking continues in the tall pine tree across the road.

I am sorry to say that I went to investigate only to find a Barn Owl briefly looking at me then taking fright. Again to be pursued by sundry members of the orchestra. 

Now all is quiet again – Barn Owl appears to be safely ensconsed in a larger densely packed Conifer.

What else does one do in shut down?
