Now Geoffrey, you are being unfair. I do NOT believe that the good folk
who came to pay respectful homage to the owl equate it in any way with
anit-social activities like F111 fuel dumps. While many indeed (myself
included) looked 'wonderingly' I didn't notice anyone doing so
'stupidly'. (Well I suppose I might have been doing so, but then of
course I wouldn't have recognised it!)
In support of the owl's claim to BFI primacy is the longevity of
interest it has aroused; I was walking in the NBG on Sunday (ie well
after the peak of interest) and two different strangers, basing the
question purely on the fact that I had binoculars, asked "do you know
where it is?".
Nice bit of wondering thanks Julian!
cheers all
