A Barn Owl stands sentinel on a wooden post, set against a backdrop of golden, autumnal grasses. The evening light bathes the scene in a warm glow, highlighting the owl's heart-shaped face, white underbelly, and the delicate brown speckles along its wings and back.

A Tawny Owl perched on a gnarled branch in a lush forest setting. The owl blends in with its surroundings, showcasing its natural camouflage. Its feathers are brown with white spots, and its deep, black eyes gaze into the distance. Sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a soft, dappled light across the scene.

A Short-eared Owl sitting on the thin branches of a shrub in an open field. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blend of warm browns and golds. The owl's striking yellow eyes are wide open, and it has brown and cream mottled feathers.

A Long-eared Owl hidden among the dense, dark branches of a forest at dusk. Its piercing orange eyes stand out against the shadowy environment. The owl's feathers are intricately patterned with an array of browns, blacks, and tans.

Owl enthusiasts, unite.

It's #InternationalOwlAwarenessDay 🦉

Excited to be talking about the impacts of rodenticides on wildlife for owl awareness day. This event is to celebrate the Shire of Swan becoming an owl friendly shire. Stop using second generation anticoagulant rodenticides and give owls a chance!

Obviously we need to release an army of rakali and quenda to defeat the rats

These are black rat captures from our rehab monitoring. They do mostly hang out in remnant forest. (I now await lawyers letter for breach of some trumped up Commercial in Confidence) 😂

This is cool! Not quite a dramatic but we showed that quenda in Perth appear to be able to fend off black rats too
