I got heaps of responses, so thanks everyone for your tactful suggestions -
yes, I think it was most probably a sugar glider, NOT a barking owl...next time

I'll also try the links which have been suggested, though I can see I will have
to invest in some CDs soon, meanwhile I'll just bumble along making silly
guesses!
Cheers,
Arwen
