Hi
Heard the birds going crazy in my silver birch when I was hanging out the washing at my North Carlton home and when I looked up into the tree, there was an owl sitting there so I fired off some shots. Can someone please confirm what sort of owl this is?
Hope I've posted this correctly, haven't done it in a while:)

Here's another shot (took 6) that I managed to snap off before it flew away:
