A Powerful sight

Spotted recently - a beautiful Powerful Owl, Ninox Strenua.

"The largest of Australia’s owls, the Powerful Owl usually inhabits the moist forests of eastern Australia. Its main item of prey is possums of various species, though large bats such as flying foxes are also often caught. They roost by day, perched in the dense shade of a tree, often with the previous night’s prey held in their talons." (From Birdlife Australia)

We are truly privileged to have these beautiful birds living here.
