Observation details
The absolute highlight of the whole trip came as I headed up the dirt road that winds its way to Mavista eventually; I was astounded when, on the perfect clear branch, I saw an unmistakable, brilliantly portly Morepork clambering about in the parrot-like fashion I've often seen on my spotlighting explorations!! When the light hit it, it stopped moving around quite so much, and it took some pishing to make it look around for the photoshoot... but I had a fantastic time with this bird nonetheless; I left it to its merry devices in the end, and it was still in the same tree when I went by the next time. This is my first ever Morepork for Bruny, so to have a photoshoot that ranks up there with my best was a particularly special event!!!
