Morning all does anyone have information on the size of Rufous Owl territory? This is rather urgent.

Martin, thanks very much. Rufous Owl habitat around the George Brown Botanic Gardens in under threat. In the years since I lived in the vicinity, established gardens have been replaced by blocks of units (we had a huge black wattle and a patch of monsoon forest in our yard); habitat near Kulaluk and Bagot Reserve is being destroyed. Now there are plans to ‘develop’ the gully near the Botanic Gardens. Residents are fearful for the future of those owls.

According to HANZAVB v4 p 836, with many caveats “Size of home range not known; said to hunt over 400-800 Ha at Ingham or to hunt 3 – 4 km from roosts”. Hope that helps.
