hi all,
I've been trying in vain to send a message here for over an hour but such is
internet reception in Cairns at times!!!
I was about to say that it sounds somewhere between a Sooty & Masked Owl, but
i'm with Greg & leaning more towards a Masked - I definitely don't think that
it's a Koala at all, but definitely a Tyto owl...
cheers,
martin cachard,
cairns
