Barn Owl — WA Wheatbelt & Midwest mouse-plague irruption — austral winter (Jun–Aug)

Peak: Irruption-dependent and unpredictable. The 2026 boom was already past peak: one farmer's catch fell from ~150 mice/day in May to ~10/day by late July, and a raptor carer expects starving, displaced juveniles next.
Behaviour: Nesting, Fledging, Hunting / predation
Coat: Juveniles present
Habitat: Dry season / dust
Crowds: Quiet
Also here: Carnaby's black cockatoo (endangered; same artificial hollows), Wheatbelt wildflowers (Aug–Sep).

Light: 30.64°S. Computed for Moora: 21 Jun max 35.9°, day 10.2 h, 2.0 h under 10°, 3.6 h above 30°; 15 Jul max 37.8°. Winter sun is moderate, not low. Overcast frequency for the Wheatbelt winter NOT checked. More importantly, no source found shows these owls hunting in daylight during plagues — the published evidence is nest boxes, silos and night sightings, and an Australian researcher describes them as nocturnal hunters. Low — needs verification.
Weather risk: Rainy season
Tides and moon: Not applicable.
Atmosphere: Not established.
Permits: Not researched. Most of the observed boom is on private farmland and in artificial hollows installed for endangered Carnaby's cockatoos — nest-site photography there is both a disturbance issue and a private-land issue. DBCA told ABC it has no barn owl monitoring programme.
Getting there: Perth to Moora ~2 h drive, Geraldton ~4.5 h. Not costed.

Who runs trips here: None identified. Local contacts named in press: Carnaby's Crusaders (Dean Arthurell), Just Raptors (Janelle Ende).
