Hi folks,
This was my very exciting find for the day on a short walk at Mt Coot-tha yesterday. Apologies for the poor quality images but I was out doing a bit of seed collecting and only had my mobile phone on me. And I just now realised this was a lifer for me - have heard them before but not seen one.
Nice find, it looks huge!
Good one. I saw a powerful owl once in my driveway, although I didn't realise what it was at the time. I was too stunned to see it in my headlights that I just sat there looking at it for a few seconds until it flew off. If I had had the nouse to turn my headlights off I might have had a chance to observe it for longer.

Yeah, it was rather large - maybe 40cm head to tail at a guess. Though the fact sheet suggests 55cm, so maybe my guess is not that accurate :)

Nice find Tim,
You should have gone back with your camera, it would most lickely have stayed in the same spot all day.
