@DoktrNick @OneworldNews Ooohhh I didn't know it was out! Jennifer interviewed the deakin powl team about some of our experiences with owls, and I remember the convo being so fun and heartwarming, she is an amazing person. Can't wait to read it and yep - powls are some strong critters!! 🦉

@DoktrNick @janey64 @EuanRitchie1 @MondayStory @bradsey @JWhiteWildlife @lucyparkerpaul Wow theres a lot of Nicks studying Powls 😂 yep we have experienced the female leaving the hollow to fly around for a bit and also meet up with her partner nearby through countless monitoring surveys of heaps of pairs in Vic. Awesome obs Harry and how cool are thermal scopes!! 🦉

@BigBirdMegan Wow thats awesome and such a cute owl!! I'm catching Powerful Owls at the moment in Australia, and know how difficult owls are to deal with hahah. What's your trapping method if you don't mind sharing?

[John White Wildlife @JWhiteWildlife]

Squuueeee!!! Floof ball alert the baby powerful owls are emerging from their hollows. This one in a landscape with lots of agriculture. Its mum had a range that covered a massive area to link patches of bush. Those linkages in the landscape are ohhh so important.

Giving nature a chance in our cities is up to YOU!
Things you can easily do
1) embrace native plants
2) plant a canopy tree
3) plant out your nature strip
4) say no to rat poisons
5) encourage others to do the same
We all need to take collective action. Share the love for nature!

Thread: The first #OA paper from my PhD is out! We found that social media users will engage with images of reptiles🦎 , amphibians 🐸, invertebrates 🐞 and molluscs 🐙 just as much as they will with birds 🦜 and mammals 🐨

@ThePhDPlace Owls go hoot 🦉

[Nick Carter @NickCarter_182]

@SallyRMelb @Northcoteer @MondayStory That looks more like a Tawny Frogmouth than a Powerful Owl, but still so cool you saw a Tawny - love them!

A massive pile of owl vomit! Trackers on owls can certainly help find well used roosting sites pretty quickly. Anyone for a career in owl vomitology?

[Nick Carter @NickCarter_182]

Woo two individuals from different areas caught and tagged the last two nights 🥳🦉

[John White Wildlife @JWhiteWildlife]

Another powerful owl heading off with a GPS tracker. This one decided to stare down the lens of the camera as it was released. Really looking forward to seeing where this one goes.

[John White Wildlife @JWhiteWildlife]

Woo Hoooooo! Off heads another powerful owl carrying a GPS tracker. Where will she go? Time will tell. The data will be critical in helping local government plan around her need for habitat.

To all PhD students, you’re probably doing a lot better than you think you are.

ALERT! Powerful owls don't generally eat rodents yet in this paper we show 83% of them have rat poison in their livers. Likely explanation possums are eating rat poison and being eaten by owls! Extremely concerning on many levels. New threatening process? https://t.co/LrsW8rxcNn

Powerful owls and rodent poisons. Our latest research in the Age today.
Think before you reach for the poisons you really don’t know where they will end up.
