Barn owl at Bayview Golf Course reported by Gina McFarlane on 21-10-2018
Waiting to tee off on the 16th hole, I saw a palm tree near the water. Having seen barn owls roosting in palms in Centennial Park, I thought I’d wander over and have a look in this one on the off chance that there’d be one here too. Sure enough, I walked over, looked up, and immediately saw this fellow looking back at me. Poor photo, taken with phone, attached.
