It had several runs out from the tree but finally managed to get some food!!!

It landed in the grass and came up with...

Times are obviously hard with the Owl about... (Look at the photo enlarged)

It looks like it might be a large insect. My first thought was large cockroach, but you just don't get cockroaches that big here. I think the most likely is a large beetle.
