It is really interesting going into my garden early in the morning because I appear to be having an array of feathered visitors. This morning at about 6 am, took my cup of coffee outside to go and sit on a bench in my garden, as I usually do, and found a young Cape Eagle Owl next to my swimming pool. I was worried because it did not fly away as I went outside with my two boxer dogs. They did'nt see the owl, I don't think, because they never went near it. It was perched on top of the pool net that was removed off the pool yesterday so that the pool could be cleaned. I thought it might have been snagged in the pool net, so I ran inside to grab a towel and lock the dogs inside, so that I could help to free it from the net, and as I came right along side it, it flew away. So, not snagged, but also not too afraid either. Maybe it was looking for Duck, that got away....
It is on the roof of a neighbors at the moment, I can hear it hooting. So sweet.....
Nope Andy no photo's, was to worried about rescuing the snagged bird... darn.... priorities, priorities.... would never make a good news or war photographer, would be more worried about sorting the problem out than taking the shot... Will have the camera ready in case I get a chance to snap it again, seeing it appears to be hanging around here...
