Barking Owl hunting from Church Steeple, Townsville

[Ian Montgomery <>]

On Sunday evening (8:15 - 9:00pm) I watched a Barking Owl hunting flying insects, I presume, from the cross on top of St Joseph's Church on Ross River Road, Townsville.  It repeatedly sallied forth, Bee-eater style, after its prey, each time returning to the cross.  I'd heard a Barking Owl at the same place earlier in the week, so maybe it's a favourite spot.  There is a street light below the steeple which might help it see whatever it was chasing.

Cheers,
Ian
