16.01.2022 The bandicoot & a rat are the only ground animals I have seen as prey for the BCValley Powerful Owl - but I only saw that on one occasion for each prey I just mentioned. 99.9% of the time prey is caught in trees. image - Fishcake with bandicoot in 2018.

09.01.2022 Update - Bethany the Powerful Owlet. On 7 September 2018 we rescued Bethany. 5 days later, 12 September 2018, after care at Higher Ground Raptor by Peggy we released Bethany back to her parents and nature. 4 months later, 15 January 2019 - look how well she is doing.

09.01.2022 Why the local Powerful Owl Project is so important (Beecroft / Cheltenham)

09.01.2022 Update>>> Calipsos pre-autopsy examination - has revealed much. Dr Beths inspection of Calipso sadly revealed the possibility of an Owl on Owl attack.The chick was slightly underweight, its breast (keel) was blade-like and his pelvis (lumbar sacrem) was thin too - not plump/fleshy, his claws and wings were well formed, but he had a ruptured eye cornea which looked to be from a previous injury before the death, as it was healing. He had sustained a broken neck and bruising ...at both sides. He also had an owl feather and a lot of blood in his mouth, some which had gone onto his feathers. Dr Beth will do some more investigations (check liver for rodenticides) before he goes to the Museum, where they may conduct an autopsy, and do further research (UV testing of the feathers to assist in research into widlife corridors) before taxidermy. It has been a very difficult breeding season, with a high mortality rate due to weather conditions, habitat loss and reduced availability of food (ringtail possums). This is a sad outcome, but very important we learn from the loss. We are in an ecological emergency due to land clearing and climate change See more

09.01.2022 Beautiful image tonight of Sheba and Julys Full Moon, the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse will occur later tonight. Its freezing down here in the valley but it was worth the wait.

08.01.2022 The Secret Life Of Powerful Owls - Part One

06.01.2022 National Tree Day is coming up, 31 July for schools and Sunday 2 August for the community. Each year since 2015 we have normally worked with garden guru Graham Ross planting tree/s. Please do something special this year and protect, nurture and enhance our trees. Image is from Emma, taking a photo of me taking a photo of Graham for media release.

04.01.2022 Dear locals can you stop using rodenticide or other poisons. We suspect the demise of our powerful owls is due to poisoning. Please speak to your neighbours, and neighbours where English isnt their first language. People have no idea the damage they are doing. ITS TIME FOR AN EDUCATION PROGRAM Hornsby Shire Council
