We took a quick visit to Flagstaff Gardens in the city to take a look for the Powerful Owl reported by a number of people. The owl was precisely where it had been described – in an oak tree on the William St boundary of the gardens, almost directly opposite A’Beckett St. Powerful Owls are really amazing birds – often you see them with half a possum in their talons – not this time though. I wonder if this is the same bird as “Olivia” that we saw 18 months ago in the same gardens? Impossible to be really sure, I think.
