Trillian, the very Powerful Owlet stretching her wings.
POwlet siblings in a Brisbane conservation park.

POwlet siblings in a Brisbane conservation park.
An Owlet and adult Powerful Owl, one looking more alert than the other. The owlet's sibling was roosting alone 30m away but joined them at dusk, triling loudly, playing with bark, and head bobbing to get a sense of everything around it. Always special to watch. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

A Powerful Owlet in a Brisbane park. When it's warm they'll sit high and you get a better look at those impressive talons. These juveniles practice hunting skills by 'attacking' leaves, bark and unwieldy looking sticks they've snapped off mid-flight. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

We checked in on the Powlets who may be without an adult after a nearby adult was taken into care, due to poisoning. They've moved to their non-breeding roost, and although we didn't see an adult, they are being fed, and they have been moved, so at least one adult is around #birds #wildoz #brisbane

A pair of Powerful Owlets looking fierce. We've been checking in on this pair after an adult was taken into care not far from their roost www.actforbirds.org/ratpoison. So far we've only seen one adult around, luckily that's not unusual. Both Powlets look well, and fed. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

A little leftover something after brining up a pellet. It's hard to know what it is, POwlets often practice hunting while waiting for breakfast. I watched this one fly in, grab a piece of bark with its talons, land overhead and start ripping strips off it. I imagine they accidently eat some. #birds

Congratulations to the Tawny Frogmouth on being crowned bird of the year 2025. This one, named Ralph by my daughter and friends, looks suitably pleased with the accolade.

Not much bothers this female Powerful Owl, she often roosts over busy paths in a Brisbane park. Yesterday an incoming international flight caught her eye, and she tracked it as it flew across the sky. #birds
Time to vote for POwls again :)🦉

A Powerful Owl pair roosting in a Brisbane park earlier today. Sometimes it's tricky to work out who's who, but when they're so close together it gets easier, female on the left. Don't forget to vote POwls for bird of the year today. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

Day 3 of voting @australia.theguardian.com Tawny's can be cute, for a not-an-owl, but POwlets have that cuteness factor in multiples!

Voting is open for Australian bird of the year! Time to vote #1 for Powerful Owls! @australia.theguardian.com. All POwls are special but here's a particular favourite, Trillian from a few years ago.

Some Powerful Owlets stay close to their nest tree, some move to the non-nesting roost sites nearby, and some seem to go much further. This photo was taken when the owlet was newly fledged, & was a new family for us. We've been back to check in on them. So far, without luck #birds #wildoz #brisbane
