Backyard Visitors Revisited

Matt

Well my Southern Boobook Owl is back this year. Sorry for the fuzzy pic but that's the best I could get before he flew to the roof next door.  The moths are back too. Lunch and dinner.

Pic from last year.

My wife loves owls, all we got around here is screeching Cockatoos and the odd Koukaburra

Mark

You sure that's a boobook? Looks more like a tawny frogmouth to me, Matt.

Hence the name>>

Matt

Actually, I think you're right Mark. Thanks!

Mark

They are very common. As a kid we always knew them as mopokes.

I guarantee there are plenty around Glenhaven!

Seriously weird suckers!

Any time you guys want to start using English that would be great...

Matt

If the crow eater was here, he have a captain cook at you, then you'd be really doing ya block. So belt up.

No owls that we have seen here otherwise my wife would be trying to adopt one...we do get fruit bats at dusk, always a good look. Mind you that's nothing like the bats they have at Port Macquarie each night, mel that's an impressive site

When I was in Cairns there were bats flying past like that for 15 mins. Yeah it was fucking amazing!

But it was only one night out of the 7 nights I was there.

Charlie

When I was in Brisbane I freaked out with these bats... I was standing out on the porch under this tree and I kept hearing something... So I look up and this huge bat flies over and another... I ran up stairs to express my worries to the family I was staying with and they had a good chuckle. Bats in Texas carry rabies and we were always told to stay away.

Charlie

Plus they were 10 times the size of Texas bats.., scary.

Matt

I thought everything was bigger in Texas?

Charlie

Not bats... X_X

I hope they use this as an educational aid when my daughter learns about Oz in school

Matt

A couple of Ringtail Possums....shitters!

David

Would drive Bella and Beau wild if they saw them.

Matt

Bring'em round to my place because my two don't do squat.

David

Bella would just annoy with non stop barking, Beau would have a go...ferocious bastard that he is. Here he is hunting Snipe and Blue Tongue Lizards
