High, high in the trees perched three of Australia’s biggest owls: Powerful Owls:

I used the super zoom on my camera to see one of the birds up close. It knew I was there! What big eyes:

Powerful Owls eat small creatures, including possums. The birds can weigh well over 2 kilograms, and reach up to 65 centimetres in height. Look at those huge feet and strong claws. Like all owls, the birds hunt at night and roost quietly during the day.
