Tasmania RFI

by

Hi all I am off to Tasmania next weekend for a week. We will be birding around the Hobart to Bruny Island area up to as far as Mt Field NP and Port Arthur. Has anyone got a current good site for Morepork and Masked Owl ? Thanks in advance Dick Jenkin Dungog NSW

  1. Hi Dick I have just come back from two weeks on Tas, including the east coast. Only Moreporks I heard were away from the E Coast (Cradle Mtn – very distant calling; and Sideling Range Lookout close to Launceston – calling in daylight but not findable). The team at Inala had no gen on recent Masked Owl roosts or sightings in the area around their property on Bruny Is. Cheers Tom Wilson

  2. Hi Dick, We recently had a very co-operative Morepork on the Cape Queen Elizabeth Track on Bruny Island (and Frogmouth). And THE Masked Owls at Port Arthur showed BRIEFLY at the Hollow back in early Dec. – could possibly have been breeding? Male left the hollow quickly and quietly just after dusk, and the female gave one call at the mouth of the hollow about 5 min later, before ducking back in. I don’t have any other recent gen.
