I won't say anything, other than Russell Jenkins is over from Japan at the moment and, armed with camera, tried for the Powerful Owls yesterday with Kev and Kay Williams. Hot off the press, his blog says the rest ...

Powerful Owl Pellet Analysis
Folks,
Of the seven regurgitated pellets that I collected from under the Powerful Owl roost at Highfields Falls on 09th. July Barbara Triggs has identified the remains of a glider, Petaurus sp. (probably Sugar Glider, P. breviceps) (hair, humerus, femur and other bones); Grey-headed Flying-fox, Pteropus poliocephalus (hair, skull, other bones) and Greater Glider, Petauroides volans (hair, bones). Three pellets also contained unidentified feathers and one contained unidentified seeds.
Regards,
Rod Hobson

Powerful Owls
Folks
Managed to locate both fledglings together and then both adults together on Sunday afternoon, in the same general area as previously reported. Lifers for the five people with me including a couple of local residents who tagged along and were amazed, as they walk through there regularly and couldn't believe how they had never noticed such massive birds.
Cheers
