Southern Boobook Owl

Tonight my son came for dinner and when he left something was sitting on the driveway as he walked to his car. It lifted silently and landed in the big Flame tree in my front garden.

He ran in and called me. I got the camera and torch and this little beauty posed. He has been calling the whole summer and comes every night but I have never been able to photograph him.

I am so thrilled with this little Boobook. I am calling him Scof. (An African name for Owl).
