User's notes
We were with the ANBG Photographic group, allowed to wander around after it closed on 22 April 2021. We were sitting on a seat near the rain forest and this lovely bird flew down and landed on the sign post right in front of us, so nice of him to be so friendly. We also saw a Barn Owl fly silently close by us while we were on the road near the Rain forest. Unfortunately it was too quick but amazing to see this beautiful white bird fly so close. Another person in the group also saw the Barn Owl.
