Fantastic photos.
Hello! Where a bouts around Bleachcroft Farm do you look? Where were the little owls? Seen that they've been sighted a few times now, but I've never personally been to the area.
Thanks :)
For some time now we have been observing Little Owls on an old lorry chasis opposite Bleachcroft Farm to the west side of the disused Midland Railway where stone is recycled at Lidsters yard. Look from the bridge where the two dikes meet towards the chasis where they often sit if not disturbed by machinery working there. There is anorther pair in old Carlton Pit Yard amongst loads of rubble. I hope this is of help.
