It's not often in Scotland that we hear of wildlife attacking people but last week in Inverness that's what happened. An eagle owl, which has possibly escaped from an aviary, started terrorising people in the centre of Inverness - one man described having to fend off the owl with his fists  as it swooped on him repeatedly and another was left with a 3 inch gash to his head after he was knocked to the ground. Efforts so far to capture the owl (which has a wingspan of 6ft) have failed, and experts say that it could be many months before this happens. In the meantime the public have been warned not to  approach or try and feed the bird !
