I have never come face to face with an owl, but I would like to. I have a general fascination with birds of prey - they're so beautiful, yet so cruel - but there is a special place in my heart for an owl.
AA Milne has a lot to answer for. The Owl in the Hundred Acre Wood was the 'clever' one; he could write - 'Backson. Bisi. Backson' is vintage Owl, and incidentally still the way I spell that note, should I need to leave one.
A few months ago, in the summer, I followed a pair of owls around my friend's woodland. I could hear but not see them. I was a bit tipsy - it was fun.
Herself looks a bit like an owl.
Would I be disappointed if I met a real owl?
