G'day,
Something of interest to add for those going to see the superb fruitdove at Turramurra Sydney.
A powerful owl  was roosting conveniently just above eye level at about only 5 m off the track on the Sheldon Forest Walk at Turramurra last Friday, to the RHS (heading down) at the point where a huge fallen trunk of an old angophora (redgum) has been cut for the track  - about half way between the iron staircase and the spot where the fruitdove and brown cuckoo-doves feed on privet berries.
As the powerful owl reportedly makes a habit of roosting in a limited choice of just a few favoured trees, there is a good chance of finding this one there again.
