The Powerful Owl is Australia’s largest owl. Scientist Nick Bradsworth explains how to identify them, what they eat, where they live and the importance of their nests in tree hollows.

Nick Bradsworth is a PhD Candidate in Urban Ecology at Deakin University. His research has focussed on addressing a major scientific knowledge gap - the movement pathways and habitat available to the Powerful Owl. The Powerful Owl is Australia’s largest owl, with a wingspan of up to 1.4m. Nick is here to share his knowledge about this incredible bird and to how ensure that it can thrive in the wild.
