Hi Elliot, If you’re going to Bruny, you should be able to get Black-faced Cormorants near the ferry at Kettering, and Little Penguin at the colony at “The Neck” on Bruny. Morepork and Masked Owl are a little more uncertain. We have had Morepork at Adventure Bay (Bruny), and there is supposed to be a reliable Masked Owl Roost at Port Arthur – which I haven’t been to, so others can probably give better directions. Good birding, John Tongue Devonport, Tas.
