Tasmanian Masked Owl, Australia, Tasmania, Launceston Feb 2018
The world's largest Tyto and already considered a full species by some authorities, this gorgeous beast is very difficult to find since the demise of the once-reliable Port Arthur birds

I have been interested in birds since I was six, since then I've birded on and off around the world but only seriously since 1997 when I could afford to travel farther than my back yard. Several trips to Central and South American, North, East, South and West Africa, South Central and Southeast Asia and Europe. I am currently a guide for Birdtour Asia. |

I've birded on an off since I was six. I've visited over 40 countries, not all for birding sadly and lived in the middle east, North Africa, Great Britain, Trinidad and the United States. I'm an avid sound recorder and have posted thousands of recordings on Xeno-canto (http://www.xeno-canto.org/recordist.php?id=PWDLINYMKL) and my photos are on my Flicker page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/madbirder). I now guide for Birdtour Asia. |

One of our birds of the trip and understandably so given how few records there are of this species.
