An aggressive bird is terrorising residents in a Black Country town - leaving some people too afraid to step outside their homes. The Canadian great-horned owl has been swooping from the sky and dive-bombing locals living in Sedgley, West Midlands - savagely attacking pensioners, children and pets.
The large bird was sighted across the region last September but it is believed to be getting more vicious as it grows hungry or protects its territory looking for a mate. Liz Hodgkins, 74, was savaged by the owl's razor-sharp talons just before Christmas on her driveway and was left with deep cuts in her scalp.
