This wise looking chap was spotted in a gum in the front garden yesterday by Liz while I was off at Tai Chi. The photo is a pretty good result bearing in mind it was taken through the lounge room window and from some distance away.
Being ex city folk we had never seen one outside captivity and a call to the Ag dept revealed they do live around here and most likely this specimen had not made it home before sunrise. Someone had an owl stay for 18 months in their garden before it moved on.
Unfortunately when I got home and went looking for it, the owl got upset and decided to risk a daylight flight. This excited our magpies who set off in hot pursuit but it looked like this one made it safely to a big stand of gums about 150 meters away. I hope so. I wasn’t trying to interact with it just check it out.
Horsham is blessed with such a range of bird life. As I sit here now I can hear several different bird songs drifting through the window at 5 o’clock on a warm afternoon.
Our early morning ritual here is a nice hot cuppa tea on the back veranda which appears to be a fly through freeway for the more adventurous bird life. A damn fine start to the day we reckon.
