I was curious about the source of the photo and looked it up. Seems to be from this ABC story about rodenticide.
As soon as I saw “masked owl,” things made much more sense. I knew the Aussie and Tassie ones are the big guys, but I don’t think I’ve seen one next to a human before, so I couldn’t picture the difference. The Tasmanian one is even larger than this.
Was gonna say - that’s a heavyweight Barnie!
