Observation details

While me and the guide were near the track starting point , I heard the calls of the owl , and although I had never heard these calls before , I did somehow realize that these were an owl's calls and informed the guide who himself didn't hear the calls at first . We headed towards the source of the sound and suddenly noticed the top branches of the eucalyptus trees moving before this owl came to sight . More than one individual was present and most probably a small family was present there .
