Learn about Australia’s largest owl. This episode is all about Powerful Owls - how to identify them, what they eat (giant possums!), where they live and the importance of tree hollows.
Nick Bradsworth is a PhD Candidate in Urban Ecology at Deakin University. His research has focussed on addressing a major scientific knowledge gap - the movement pathways and habitat available to the Powerful Owl. The Powerful Owl is Australia’s largest owl, with a wingspan of up to 1.4m. Nick is here to share his knowledge about this incredible bird and to how ensure that it can thrive in the wild.
