suburban owls!

[Robert Davis <>]

Hi All!

Yesterday (27th July), while in our port city of Fremantle, here in Western
Australia, I saw a large Barn Owl on the roof of a block of flats opposite
the main Esplanade area on Marine Terrace Fremantle. It was about 4 pm, and
the owl sat on the roof for approximately 5 minutes, observing the area,
before dissappearing behind the flats.

I was quite amazed by this, due to the fact that it was in a busy suburban
area, in broad daylight. Is this unusual, and have other people had similar
sightings?

Cheers,

Rob.
