I've lived near these woods for over 10 years. I've heard a Tawny Owl call for years. Today for the first time I saw one out in the open. Had to rush back to the house to get my camera. Such a magical moment. Best view I have ever had of a #TawnyOwl

Yesterday morning, I landed in Sydney & met up with fellow South African Marie that was kind enough to take me out birding through BirdingPal. Whilst it wasn't as a successful day as I had hoped. Still added 6 lifers & now have over 100 birds for Australia in 3 days of separate visits.
