Hello Edwin,
The lowest roosting owl I've seen was a Grass Owl which flew up from a
height of.......
You guessed it- 0 metres!
Cheers

On the subject of low roosting frogmouths/nocturnal birds I would like
to comment that I have seen once at Mitchell Park, Cattai (NW of
Sydney CBD), 2 roosting juv. Powerful Owls perched only half a metre
from the ground on the edge of the picnic area and under a shady tree.
I was surprised how I initially walked passed them in the first
instance as I went looking for Powerful Owls in the usual spot further
up the creek, but when I got back to the car, there they were like 2
white posts. I also recall seeing my first Powerful Owl perched on a
low branch, a metre over Euroka Creek at Glenbrook in the Blue Mountains.
