    Hi Karim

    Why a young bird? Also, where was it photographed? If in coastal scrub there's a chance this could be Northern Boobook, the migrant race/species

    Dave: Northern Boobook, hmmm that is interesting.

    Hi Dave

    I was reading Australian Brown Boobook mentioning a young bird is darker. It was taken along the coastal line.

    Hi Karim

    This bird looks much less heavily streaked than birds I photographed at Lambir and Sepilok recently. I would guess that it's probably the migrant Northern rather than resident Brown. Do you mind if I post one of your pics on my blog to compare with Brown?

    Thanks

    Dave

    Dave,
    I'm not with my reference but i think you are right on the Northern Boobook. This bird show absent of love shape as well.
