Thanks for that!
Hi Robert, beautiful photo, you took it during the day, didn't you? What made you look for it, when and where you did? We have a few Southern Boobooks in the bush close to our house. Early in the season we can hear them call to eachother, but I was "never" lucky enough to find one during the day! how did you find it? Help!!!

WHat a gorgeous shot! How lucky to find one in your garden.

I found it because of all the birds in the area were going nuts and making a hell of a noise and I went to investigate. He flew from that tree to another and stayed there for about 2 hrs. I think he looks like a baby. It was a real buzz seeing a new bird in the garden. We are really close to the city so it's great to see birds like this here.
Robert, that is how I find most of my interesting stuff around my home...listening to the other birds. SO far they have led me to pythons, a grey Goshawk, quite a few possums, Common Koels etc.
You mentioning being close to the city reminded me of the one time I have come across an owl... in the centre of Brisbane outside the art gallery I think, and I heard the birds carrying on and looked up to see a Barn Owl sitting quietly in the tree above me! At least in Perth you have King's Park so close to the centre and can go walking there.
