I'm currently experiencing an array of emotions at present: excitement, contentment, privilege.

I just recently had a visitor of the owl variety. And it was amazing. In all my years in Oz, I've never seen a native owl before, and never one this close before. It called last night as well, and its cry, so distinctive and loud was what drew me to it.

It was grand, especially as its distinctive call may mean it was a barking owl, a species that is endangered over here in Victoria.
