Just uploaded some Morepork "eow" calls, so thought I would upload this too.
The video is from one of my cheap and nasty trail cameras, they've all failed now, hence the poor quality film and weird repeating background noise (it is not the Ruru).
Posting it as I don't know if a video of a morepork bathing has ever been taken before.

Re: Morepork taking a bath
By chance I saw a video of a bathing morepork just a couple of days ago (via my wife's Facebook account, couldn't find it again), though it looked like it was in an enclosure and was not as natural looking. Very nice behaviour to capture.
