Dear All

Another brushtail/powerful owl "story".  While on a school camp at Moora Moora in the Grampians NP, I heard a PO calling and decided to try to call it in with my tapes.  Well, thew owl didn't respond but around midnight, this brushtail started "screaming".  I had just enough spotlight cord to reach from the bus, and spotlighted a PO sitting in the open on a lowish branch (10m) of a tree with the possum about 5m above it, in the canopy.  The PO didn't seem at all interested in the possum but it seemed the reverse wasn't the case.
