Took this pic on 16 May in my garden at about 17h45. Light was very bad and the pic therefor not very clear.
Is it a Spotted Eagle Owl?
It's presence was given away by a mob of small birds going absolutely ballistic. When I first spotted it it was on our roof and then flew to this palm tree in the front of our garden. I ran for my camera and got a few shots before it was driven off again by the "mob". :dance:

Three days ago we had a grey headed bush shrike in a paperbark tree in our garden and then yesterday an immature little sparrowhawk which was totally relaxed and sat watching us for ages. Wonderful :dance:

Living as one does, in deepest darkest suburbia, the rarities, unfortunately, don't make too many appearances :(

But I was quite surprised, some years back, to spot a flock of Blue Waxies at the bottom of the garden...... said garden being about three hundred meters from Fourways Mall, traffic jams, dogs, kids etc.

Oh yes, and a Giant Kingfisher. Which was nice 8) .

And these don't make it onto my garden bird list (for those who're checking 8) ) because it was at my previous house :wall:
