I had a peculiar experience last night. I was on my way home from a Trivia night aimed at raising funds for a youth ministry, when I saw an owl sitting on the road almost outside our home.
I was concerned it might be injured, so after I parked my car I went to look for it. It was a bit difficult to see but I found it.
As I got closer I could see it was sitting on another dead bird, probably prey (it looked about the size of a dove). I managed to get within about six feet of it when it suddenly took off, and flew away taking the prey with it.
With hindsight, I think my headlights might have stunned it as originally it would have been in night vision mode. I remember the big eyes looking directly at me.
The owl's eyes reminded me of a fridge magnet we've got, with the face of the owl below and the words "I have eyes only for you". We got it from a place called Raptor Domain on Kangaroo Island a few years ago.
