Boobook at Jerrabomberra Wetlands

["shorty via Canberrabirds " <>]

The bird is still present ( Logged in today on eBird by me for the 51st time over the last 53 days ) and uses 3 roosts. The most common roost branch it likes, and the one I assume you are talking about  was still there this morning so not sure what you mean that it has been removed?

After being around for quite a while, the Boobook which was roosting at Jerrabomberra Wetlands seems to have moved on. More disturbing, it seems that the branch which it was roosting on has been removed. The same thing happened when it was in a casuarina. What is going on here? Is this people who hate owls, or is it something else – like people breaking the trees in their zeal to get a photo? Either way, it’s upsetting. I just don’t believe that this is a coincidence.

The owl has probably moved to somewhere warmer, but I wish people would leave animals alone. Take only photos, leave only footprints. Minimise your impact on nature.
