Who is the killer?

[Michael Tarburton <>]

Yes I agree with Philip

on the Tawny Frogmouth and probably Powerful Owl.  We see quite a few.

Cheers

The feathers are absolutely from a Tawny Frogmouth. Now that does not identify the killer but there are lots of options: owl, raptor, cat, dog………. If there is a connection to possum, it may likely be a Powerful Owl as the predator.

We live on 3 acres just outside Torquay in Victoria.  There is of course quite a bit of activity at night but in the last few weeks we have had 3 occurrences which have left us wondering.  The first thing we found was a small amount of fur and an entrail at least 2 feet long, and absolutely nothing else.  The second was a possum with a hole in its side and no other damage.  Finally we found these attached feathers under pine trees - again nothing else.  The feathers are 23cms long.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
