Southern Boobook Owl

This was a bit of a crazy experience. My friend and I had just popped into Cainbable Mountain Lodge, owned by a friend of ours, on the way into O'Reilly's. We were walking under a couple of low pines, looking for some of the Pretty-Face Wallabies that are prolific there, when two owls swooped from the pine we were under, literally dropping to a metre in front of us, before flying out and away. One few down through the trees, but this guy (who we assume was the young of the other) just flew over to another small pine a few metres away. We spent a solid fifteen minutes on the ground peering up and getting, eventually, this shot.
