Norfolk Island morepork owls: Major breakthrough for rare species

On a remote Australian island, two owl chicks have survived to fledglings, the first to do so in more than a decade.

The Norfolk Island morepork owl has an estimated population of only 45-50, making the pair a huge boost for the future of the species.
