@CheeseChameleon1945 Or you just haven't had the experience of noticing movement like we have. You'll get better as time goes on.

@Great Argus Mk just keep flexing alright I see.. .

No seriously though, I do try* to find owls in the Afternoon where I live and as I mentioned before I have heard them. Just never in the right place at the right time I suppose.

@birdsandbats, my eyes are peeled like a banana. I need to get one of those bird magnets!

@birdsandbats Sometimes it is just being in the right place at the right time, like here: Barn Owl - ZooChat
