Spotted
The Barking Owl is a medium-sized owl known for its distinctive dog-like 'wook-wook' barking call, which can be surprisingly loud. It has bright yellow eyes and a dark brown facial disc.
Where to spot
Inhabits open woodlands, forests, and savannas, often near watercourses. Its range covers much of mainland Australia and parts of New Guinea.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic barking calls or loud 'whoo-hoo' territorial hoots. Spotting it usually involves spotlighting in suitable wooded areas, looking for its glowing yellow eyes.
When to spot
Primarily nocturnal, active from dusk till dawn. Their calls are most frequent at night, especially during the breeding season.
