Hi Mick

Sue and I believe we have heard the Powerful Owl - 12,13 and 16th April from our house in Nichols Road Highfields.

We have a Simpson and Day Bird CD with calls. What we heard was a 2-note call, slow long notes, deep and 'soft'.
Joe and Sue live about a kilometre from Highfields Falls where the owls bred last year. Have spoken to Joe and am confident with their ID. This is also a new bird for Autumn 2008 locally and the Challenge.

Cheers

Hi Mick

I have been meaning to let you know about the Powerful Owl that Sue heard.

She heard it on 24th and 25th February this year. On both occasions it was between 10 and 10:30 at night.

We haven't heard it since.

Thanks Joe & Sue. Be interesting to see whether you hear them in April again.
