    Hi birding-aussers,

    I counted at least 8 dead Barn Owls on the Princes Freeway between Altona and Little River yesterday. Surprisingly, a good number of them were in “suburbia” rather than the more rural stretch.

    I have observed a similar situation in Northern Victoria over the last few weeks. Whilst driving at night in the rural areas there are Barn Owls everywhere. Various couonts I have made without trying recently are 8, 14, 20, 12, 6. This was in the Bridgewater, Kerang, Pyramid Hill, Mitiamo areas.

    Ties in with a number of sightings in Melbourne suburbs, reported to Birdline.

    I wonder if there are any Grass Owls amongst them ??

    Regards,

    Simon Starr.

    Wonder if there might also be an irruption of Night Parrots as well.
