The Owl is still at the Turner bowls club in Canberra so went and got some more pics, he even had a snack of his Suger Glider while i was there.
He has been there for nearly 3 weeks now but i am surprised he has picked this spot as there is constant traffic going under him as the tree is on the driveway to the parking area.

That is absolutely amazing rawshorty!
William.S
awesome, brilliant photos, would love to see one.
thanks
Great shots Shorty. Lovely to have him so close.
Beautiful pics rawshorty!
I hadn't heard of this sighting - I know they are not a common occurance in Canberra. Its amazing what they tolerate - the Centennial Park and Botanic Gardens birds are not phased by much at all.
I got to see my first fledgling in the flesh a couple of weeks ago - they are even more gorgeous than photos show!
now you are just making me very envious

Thanks, everyone.
Holly, they have been reported on Birdline and it is all the buzz on the Canberra COG chatline.
He has a great perch with a clear view of him, not a twig or leaf in the way.
Wow, a fledgling. That i would love to see (and photograph).
Peter, maybe that was my intention

Apparently the Powerful Owl made it onto the local ABC News last night too...
Yep i watched it on ABC last night.
They are saying on the chatline that many people were there to see him/her today.
