Minutes earlier, Noel Hill, 50, of Inverness, said he had a fist-fight with the same bird of prey.

Mr Mackay said: “I thought I had been hit on the back of my head by a brick. I didn’t hear a thing, not even the flap of a wing. It was only when I stumbled back on to my feet and I saw the owl perched on top of a van that I then knew what had happened.

“I couldn’t believe how much blood there was. People were asking for more towels. I went into shock straight away. It’s not the kind of thing you expect to happen on a Saturday night.”

Mr Hill said: “It hit me from behind. I never heard it coming and it hit me in the head. It flew up to the Redcliffe Hotel and then flew down at me again. I saw it coming at me for the second time and I had to beat it off with my fists. I did not expect that to happen in the centre of Inverness. I’m just concerned that it could be a child that is attacked.”

I had a dream last night where a pidgeon tried to get inside my old flat which was renovated and I tried to fight it off with a pillow but ended grabbing it by the neck. Can't remember what happened next.
