Sorry, I should have said Blackman Park, Lane Cove, Sydney. Plenty of playing fields there but also some short bushwalks. Interestingly, the local council has been replacing the boardwalk right near these owls. A male Rose Robin also appeared briefly but could not get a picture this time.
I went back today with a friend and the owls were in the same tree thus making my friend's day. Managed a few pictures despite the smoke haze created by the 40 burn-offs in the Sydney Basin.
Wow, what a great sighting and photo!
What an amazing thing to see in your local park! And great photo.
Where is it by the way, just out of interest? (You've probably said before I know)

Great shot, Sue! A birthday you'll never forget. It's great to see a healthy bird population in the heart of Sydney.
Cheers,

Nice work Sue! Getting two is such a bonus.

Wonderful to see such birds in our area.

You're must be so happy.
What a magnificent creature, those talons are deadly!
Cheers.
What a great Birthday gift for you Sue. I can go and see one but 2 would be awsome.
