Imagine driving along this gravel road at about 50 km/h.

Suddenly Helen shouts STOP, Go back, there is xxxx in that tree...


Can you see what she spotted and how many?


ps Paul, Olli and Dave please don't say anything (if you remember this).

I'd say 3, but I'm not sure about the 3rd one... Vulture or eagle?

I think I see 2 bigger birds... one in the middle, about two thirds of the way to the top of the tree. The other is on the left side, about a quarter of the way to the bottom of the tree. Of course I could be seeing things... :)

Hehe a few clues before I reveal the answer.

One person is really close to both position and number of birds.

There is more than one and it is relative big birds and this was the first time I saw this type of bird in the wild.

Sorry for the late response.

Amazingly Becca got the position and number spot on.

Here is a closer shot.

And here they are close up.

This was the first time I have ever seen owls in the wild. Uptil that moment I had only seen them on tv or in zoo's.
