20111206 016 Snowy Owl.jpg

Nepean Sailing Club

From the blood stains on its face and side, it would appear that the Owl had recently finished a big dinner - something much bigger than a vole or mouse which they usually just swallow whole. The Owl is perched on one of the many docks at the sailing club.
