No one ever talks about luminous owls

[FuSoYa]

"That luminous Barn Owls have been seen before in the same part of Norfolk is certain... We have it on the best authority - namely, from the man himself - that some years ago Frederick Rolfe, gamekeeper now retired, saw what could have been nothing else when stopping up fox-earths at West Bilney. A few nights afterwards he saw the same shining bird again, subsequently shot it, and found that it was a Barn Owl. He said that the bird 'was emitting a very bright light when near him and that it continued to give out a slight glow for some hours after it was dead'."

"A few nights afterwards he saw the same shining bird again, subsequently shot it"

Oh look, something amazing and mysterious. I had better shoot it out of curiousity!

I had that exact thought, nearly word for word.

Owls kick ass. I should get a barn. Some hay. HEY!

Poor owl. What an arse, "Oh, it's shiny, I'll shoot it".

They are occasionally out during the day even if they prefer to hunt at night. Guess he was an insomniac. :Spin:

given the neighborhood, he might have eaten a mouse that was high on crack

You know, I have never once actually seen an owl in the wild. Nor luminous fungi.
