Observation details
First heard in daylight by one of us as the sun dipped low while on a hill behind Binalong/Glenbrook Farm border. Then found calling on forested slopes (open forest with old Ironbarks). Upon return walk to Binalong proper the owl sounded like it was a little closer on same route. Upon reaching the house, ready to tell the other about the exciting owl encounter, we realised it was now very close (but too dark to find without a torch). Photo was taken earlier in gathering dusk. It felt like the owl had followed the walker (but very much doubt it). A second owl can't be ruled out but at no time was an answering call heard. Convinced it was the same owl. (Call recorded near house matched call in video taken on the hillside.)
