It was our second trip out on this piece of highway this year and sadly the second deceased Barn Owl. Unfortunately we have only ever seen dead Barn Owls in the Broome area and one day it would be nice to see a bird hunting over the land. Grass Owls are also present in the area, but remain off our bird list.

The Barn Owl was a cosmopolitan species, so as it is split the name has to be shared (American, western and eastern). Similarly when the Hoopoe and Cattle Egret were split, these are widespread birds with huge ranges even after the split. The Blue Tit, the common garden staple of Europe, was now the Eurasian Blue Tit.

Sadly, one of the first birds that we saw was a recently deceased Barn Owl. They were busy feeding around the cattle water trough that the cattle can’t get to unless they want wet hooves! This is the only highway around Australia in this part of the country and we don’t need it falling to bits!

Even the names we give to some birds reflect their dependence on the cultivated landscape – we have Barn Owls ( Tyto alba ) and Barn Swallows ( Hirundo rustica ) over much of the world, and Orchard Orioles ( Icterus spurius ) in the Americas really do have a fondness for fruit groves.
