I have another good sighting to report.
My husband called me outside the other night to say a very big bird had flown over his head.   I got the spotlight out and we found it sitting in a cyprus pine and got fantastic views.
I feel sure it was a masked owl.
We get a lot of barn owls around here (Gunnedah On NW slopes of NSW).  This bird was a lot bigger, the dark line around its mask was very obvious and it had tawny colouration around the side of its neck plus streaks down its breast.
