After taking my dad to the airport at 6am on Saturday morning, my fiancee and i went for a walk around Quarry Bank Mill. As you can imagine at about 7am on a saturday it was very quiet. We started following the path but eventually got to a path that took us straight to the airport road. At this point we stopped and decided we were too tired and hungry to walk that route, so we turned back.

Just as we turned round, i noticed a tree in the middle of the field with a large hole in the middle.I was originally thinking this would be am excellent place for a Little Owl, but instead there was a large Tawny Owl sleeping in the middle of the tree. It was an excellent view and we watched it for about 10 min. Although as it was sleeping, it wasn’t the most exciting bird to watch, but was a brilliant spot.

My fiancee and i recently travelled to a small Lincolnshire Village in the Wolds to a little country pub (The Clickham near Binbrook). We were hoping to see some Barn Owls, but as we were about to leave we heard a Tawny Owl. It sounded quite close, but as we were driving away i saw another one on a hedge on the side of the road. It must have been about 9pm and there was a car behind me.. otherwise i would have stopped to have a closer look.

I know its not a Barn Owl.. but i thought i would share it with you.

Please contact us if you see or hear any owls in the Greater Manchester area. Barn Owls preferably, but any sightings of any owls would be of interest to us.
