Australia – Lake Macquarie, The rare Powerful Owl.

We were incredibly lucky to stumble upon this huge beautiful bird. It was a bit startled and annoyed but it tolerated us for a few minutes.

We set off into the outback to track down the Powerful Owl.

The bird is one of the largest owls in the world, a mysterious nocturnal creature. We did not really think we would find one. They are extremely rare. We knew one had been spotted in the area.

We were lucky. We were pushing our way through an overgrown trail and looked up and there it was peering down at us – a powerful owl.
