A pretty terrible photo, though I’m certain it’s a Tawny and not a Boobook as the AI suggests, I will try get a better photo when it next appears. It’s been a regular in my front yard for many years, grey in colour with the distinct flat and wide beak. It’s often closer and on the fence line where it’s easier to identify, though I’ve only just begun using Nature Mapr and this was the first photo of it I had this year.

I agree - Tawny, not Boobook. Lovely sighting - I'm envious!

Yes, I agree with you too. Poor AI is still learning
