I thought it was exciting to have a Boobook in the garden until I enlarged the photo and saw it had an injured eye. I hope it suvives winter but I guess it's hunting would be severely limited by only having one eye

It is still very exciting. They are beautiful creatures and very adaptable. Fingers crossed. :)
