Hello all,
Just a couple of snippets.
Met up with Roy Sonnenburg at Slaughter Falls in
Brisbane with the aim to show the kids Powerful
Owl.
We had White-throated Nightjars calling after a
couple
of minutes .Then sat on a log as the sun sunk and
thought
Billy (11) was softly imitating a Southern
Boobook.
Billy duly said it wasn't him and only 20m away
,low
in a dead tree was an adult PO with a dead Little
Red
Flying Fox in it's talons....blood all over it's
face more
or less expressing to us to get on with
it......."See ,here
I am....have a look and nick off" .So we did
.
Thanks Roy.
An incredibly soft almost quiet "Hoo hoo"...,much
quieter
even than any Boobook I've heard .
Is this normal at dusk?
There were 3 Bush Stone-curlews at the Brisbane
Botanical
Gardens .How these birds survive let alone breed in
the CBD
is beyond me.
Cheers,
Bill
