During the course of some spotlighting this week an owl
was seen by myself and two other experienced spotlighters in a Mallee roadside
remnant near Birchip,Victoria.We all independently looked at it and thought
thats not a Boobook. Had a good look at the bird and it seemed to fit all the
features of a Barking Owl but one thing concerned me.It's eyes a
though very
bright definately had a greenish tinge.
Any thoughts?

PS. A detour up to Lake Tyrell near Sea Lake to look
for Rufous Fieldwrens was successful with a couple perched high and singing.The
flowering pigface there made a barren site quite exotic.
