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.
Regards
