User's notes
This morning I saw the barn owl being mobbed by a large group of currawongs around Lyneham High. The currawongs were carolling and taking turns to fly down and peck the owl's wings. The owl kept trying to fly away but they pursued. Eventually the owl flew into a backyard, and must have found some shelter. Some of the currawongs then dispersed, though others remained, though the loud calling stopped.
