I wondered why it was visible in the daytime, and also whether they need large old trees with holes for their nests.

Apparently they hunt mainly in the early night and early morning, and sometimes at dusk and dawn, particularly in bad weather. And they nest in any tree large enough to have hollows.

There are some excellent recordings and photos....including one in Hillcrest, and one in Mairangi Bay...at ebird.org...

CHILDREN'S SCREEN TIME is a hot topic for parents. How to manage screen time is the number one question I'm getting from parents in my private practice for children.
I'll be doing a presentation in Devonport, Auckland on June 28 on this topic, including helpful strategies for parents and why it's vital to monitor and regulate screen time due to a range of adverse psychological and physical effects (see attached flyer).
