Sightings
One sighting of race "boobook" in 2005, at the farm where we lived at the time, 20 km south of Narrabri, New South Wales. Identified by their characteristic call again in September of 2006, 25 km south of Narrabri.
Heard, but not seen, regularly during the summer months of 2007/2008 20 km east of Narrabri. After a few quiet winter months, started issuing their calls again in August 2008. Again not heard or seen for several months; they reappeared in February/March 2009. In 2010 heard again starting in August.
