Just for interest - a bit gruesome, but here is fresh blood pooled at the base of a tree, and running down the trunk - so assume a large owl?

This is sap coming from a red bloodwood tree Corymbia gummifera.

Oops. I was fooled - it was pooled at the base, and on the leaves away from the trunk - and spotted on leaves in the ground at next tree, so imagined an animal being carried and dripping blood. Think I watch/read too much crime!
