Hi to all,
We photographed this solo owl last night and wondered if anyone could help ID the prey it is holding?
Cheers and thanks,
Antonia
Great photos there! I just love his expression, it looks like he's totally bored of having his photo taken
I'd suggest that his prey could be a Magpie or perhaps a Currawong. It does look more like a Magpie to me though Hope this helps!
They really are great photo's. Can't help you ID dinner though, I suspect Elsie is on the right track.

Any chance it is a Grey Butcherbird?
It could be, however I think that the size and colouring point more towards a Magpie
Many thanks Elsie and Reflex.
We thought it might be a little small for a magpie
and sometimes see the butcherbirds terrorising the P_owls.

Smaller than a Magpie? How about a Magpie-lark?
