Description
Back after a months recovery and feeling better than I have for months! Surgery being a complete success.. Spent a couple of days taking some shots of birds of prey.. This is the smallest of the owls in Australasia/ New Zealand and the most common..
The Southern Boobook feeds on insects, small mammals (such as the House Mouse, Mus musculus) and other small animal species. Feeding takes place mostly at night but some afternoon and morning activity may occur, especially on dull days. Most prey is detected by listening and watching from a suitable tall perch. Once detected, flying prey, such as moths and small bats, are seized in mid-air, while ground-dwelling prey animals are pounced upon
