DESCRIPTION:Note: New venue – see below! DRB Presents: Boyd Wykes from Owl Friendly Margaret River speaking about Night Calling: how Yornitj the Masked Owl inspired Australia’s first ‘owl friendly’ community \nOur usual venue of the Kalamunda Community Centre is undergoing renovations so this event has been moved for the December meeting to: ZigZag Seminar Room behind Café Mason and Bird (formerly ZigZag Café)\, 50 Railway Road\, Kalamunda \n  \nNote: no RSVP required. \nCOVID19: Even though restrictions have eased\, we will still encourage members and visitors to take precautions and please do not attend if unwell. \nSpeaker: \nBoyd Wykes \n \nTopic: \n \nNight Calling: how Yornitj the Masked Owl inspired Australia’s first ‘owl friendly’ community \nWhen award-winning film maker Sue Taylor and husband Bob built a retirement home in Augusta\, they reconnected with well-known local ornithologist Boyd Wykes and offered their assistance with an Owl Friendly campaign he and colleagues had established to alert their community to poisoning of wildlife from widespread use of ‘one-dose kills’ rodent baits. \n  \nTwo years later\, the resulting film\, Night Calling captures the heart breaking and heart-warming highs and lows of Boyd’s nocturnal dedication to researching a previously little known local population of the enigmatic Masked Owl.  Together with equal dedication by the Owl Friendly group to educate our community about ways to control rodents without harm to owls and many other wildlife. \n  \nThe Owl Friendly campaign\, embraced by the Augusta-Margaret River Shire as a declared Owl Friendly local government\, has inspired communities and local governments around Australia to follow suit. The campaign has received key support from the Margaret River Busselton Tourism Association’s Capes Foundation since the Capes Raptor Centre (formerly Eagles Heritage) was folded under its wing. \n  \nPlus: \n\nKids’ talk – one of your younger members will be giving a 5 minutes kids’ talk.\nBoffins talk – A member will give an 8 minutes Boffins’ talk.\n“Nature road show”. Members and visitors are encouraged to bring items to place on the display table or to send photographs to the MC in advance\, e.g. a sample flower\, an insect\, and so on – anything of natural history interest that has legally been obtained. If we have time\, one of our experts will identify them or briefly talk about them\, or the person bringing them can talk about where they saw it\, etc. Photographs are particularly welcome\, as everyone can see them. If you wish to show a photograph please email it\, no later than the Wednesday before the meeting\, to our MC for this night\, and she/he will include it on her PowerPoint slides.
