As with all Raptor cameras, the Ninox 1280 is compact and rugged. The camera will feature on-board Automated Gain Control (AGC) which will enable the best contrast imaging from low to bright light as well as an on-board intelligent 3 point Non-Uniform Correction (NUC) algorithm, providing the highest quality images. The camera will offer ultra-high intrascene dynamic range of 69dB enabling simultaneous capture of bright & dark portions of a scene.Īvailable with a 12-bit Camera Link output, the Ninox 1280 will run from 10Hz up to 60Hz. The 10µm x 10µm pixel pitch enables the highest resolution imaging. This is one of the lowest dark current readings on the market for a HD resolution SWIR camera. With cooling to -15☌, the camera achieves typical dark current readings of <2,000e/p/s at this temperature, allowing for longer exposure times. They rely on old, large trees with hollows for breeding.Using a 1280 x 1024 InGaAs sensor, the Ninox 1280 offers visible extension from 0.6µm to 1.7µm to enable high sensitivity scientific imaging. This is one of our more elusive, shy owl species, which is predominately a terrestrial hunter targeting prey items such as Bandicoots. However, masked owls have much larger, powerful legs and a broader, rounded facial disc. ![]() This owl is often confused with the Eastern Barn Owl. The owl is known for its cricket like trill call.Īustralian Masked Owl ( Tyto novaehollandiae) Image credit: shutterstockĪ powerful Tyto owl, the Australian masked owl - a Tasmanian sub-species, is the largest Tyto owl in the world. However in places where prey is abundant, loose colonies may occur. Found in northern and eastern parts of Australia, the owl regularly lives in localized pairings. It’s almost featherless long legs trail behind its tail in flight when it hunts, gliding over low vegetation. The Grass Owl is larger than its Barn Owl counterpart. The Eastern Grass Owl is Australia’s only owl species that nests exclusively on the ground. Their diet consists of large insects, small mammals and birds.Įastern Grass Owl ( Tyto longimembris) Image credit: shutterstock The owl roosts in dense foliage or safely inside a tree hollow. They have one of the smallest territories of all Australian owls and can often see or hear multiple individuals when searching for them. A quintessential sound of the night is the double hoot (“boo-book” or mo-poke”). The Southern Boobook is the smallest and most widespread owl, with 4 sub-species covering mainland Australia. Southern Boobook ( Ninox boobook) Image credit: shutterstock The owl is often seen roosting during the day with remnants of prey caught the previous night. They are extremely territorial birds with reports of males attacking passers-by if they get too close to nest sites. Unlike the Rufous Owl, Powerful Owls are found in the Southern zones of Australia (South-East Queensland, NSW and Victoria). The Powerful Owl is one of the few Australian owls with a standardized “whoo-hoo” call which, is most often heard during winter months when breeding occurs. The Powerful Owl is the largest owl species in Australia with males reaching weights of up to 2.2 kg and standing 65 cm tall. Powerful Owl ( Ninox strenua) Image credit: shutterstock After emerging from their hollow, the offspring of Rufous and Powerful Owls are still covered in white downy feather. Its diet consists of medium sized mammals and birds. It is confined to the Northern part of the country with its three sub-species inhabiting Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia. The Rufous Owl mostly inhabits rain forest zones and is often found roosting in shaded, overgrown vegetation. ![]() Its large yellow eyes are exaggerated by dark eye patches. Rufous owl ( Ninox rufa) Image credit: shutterstockĪustralia’s second largest owl species is defined by its rufous coloured plumage. The barking owl is common in its northern range (Northern Territory and Far-North Queensland) but is becoming less common along the Eastern and Western coasts of Australia. Its prey consists of large insects, small to medium sized mammals such as Sugar Gliders and small roosting birds. Its stature much more Powerful Owl-like than the owls smaller, Boobook counterpart. The Barking Owl inhabits drier woodland and forest type zones, often in edge habitats nearing watercourses such as creeks. The well-known call of this medium sized hawk-owl is synonymous with that of a dog’s bark- “woof woof”. Hollows take hundreds of years to form and land clearing is wiping out these trees at an alarming rate.īarking owl ( Ninox connivens) Image credit: shutterstock Most of our owl species rely heavily on old growth trees with hollows for breeding.
