My favourite owl encounter was a long, late drive from Yorkshire to Eastbourne for work.

 

Couldn’t set off til 9pm, so my plan was to get as far as I could before finding a premier in for the night when I got too tired to carry on.

 

Started to wilt as I got to the M25, when suddenly the Radio 1 drum and base show gave me a new lease of life.

 

anyway, ended up driving all the way to Eastbourne, but on an A-road I can’t tecall, driving fast in the pitch black with just me about, at around 2am, light full beam, out of nowhere a fucking huge owl swoops down in front of my car, picks up a shrew or something from the road and then swoops just about over the top of my windscreen.

 

Scared the shit out of me, but was ace. 

 

Love owls.

I've got one of those wireless weather stations. I couldn't understand why I kept getting weird weather events in the middle of the night until I went to water the lemon tree one night......

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure this isn't an owl. It looks like a tawny frogmouth to me.

 

Excellent picture though.

I have never seen a real owl. but i have 2 friends who have the same features as owl.

I used to know a lad as kids called Raymond Howell, Owly, as he too looked like one. 

I pushed him off a small cliff on the Ralla to see if he could really fly, but alas he couldn't. 

I still feel a bit guilty about that.

Extreme. All you needed to do was move his body around and see if his head stayed in the same place.

Haha yeah, we did use make him do owl noises, louder owly louder, he must look back and think, those fuckin' cunts made my life hell. 

There was a lad when working on Formby beach, he was a history teacher who unfortunately had a breakdown and gone religious, we used make him say the Lords Prayer and again but this time with artistic expression, and he would. Life can be cruel when young.
