FLEAY, David. NIGHTWATCHMEN OF BUSH AND PLAIN. Australian Owls and Owl-like
Birds. Melb.
Jacaranda. 1966. 163pp. Numerous col & b/w plates.
Relatively easy to get hold of from 2nd hand dealers (do a search on Google.com
and stand back!).
It's a lovely book - everyone should read it at least once, IMHO.
