When I was small my village used to have a ratting day. One year, I must have been about 6, I was chasing a rat enthusiastically into a ditch, when I stumbled into an owl's nest. He was massive. I thought, though I'm sure he wasn't, that he was about the same size as me. We just both stood there eyeing each other for a minute, really close up. Then he flew off. Marvellous.
