A tyto at the Brisbane Airport

[L&L Knight <>]

I was doing a bit of plane spotting at the airport this morning when a  
disturbance of birds in a nearby tree flushed a tyto out into the  
open.  It was a very handsome snowy breasted chap with dark wing  
coverts.  It copped some heavy duty harassment from the magpies and  
butcherbirds (one was pulling it's wing feathers) but eventually  
things quietened down.  With a bit of luck, it will remain in place in  
one of the exotic trees near the parking area for plane spotters if  
any local birders want to have a gekko.
Regards, Laurie.
