Re: barn owl

Welcome to WAB Nige. It's a stunning moment when you get to see one, esp close up! I hope you accomplish your quest and may it be as joyful to you as it is for me or better.

All the best with things.....

Jez

Re: barn owl

Hi Nige, welcome to the site.

There is a group of fellow Lancastrians:

Anybody in Lancashire

They may be able to help you.

I saw one somewhere near Shirdley "Hill" (near Southport) a few years back, but someone will surely know of one a bit nearer you.

All the best,

DJ
