Regular contributor Paul Wheeler shares this great photograph of a Powerful owl he took before the winds blew in.
"Our cat was looking a bit nervous!" Mr. Wheeler said - wonderful picture - and great to see these listed as vulnerable in NSW beautiful birds are still to be seen and heard in Pittwater.

Winter School Holidays 2014
Newport Beach this week - picture by A J Guesdon.
With snow dumps this week we know many of you will be taking the youngsters south for some good old family fun. For those of you who will be getting in the surf or about and about, there's plenty for you to do in Pittwater too.
We hope you all have a great break and as always, we've listed some great events for youngsters and found a movie or two too...just in case you get stuck somewhere where the rain won't stop and you can't get outside to play.
Happy Holidays!
