Mike Angel, from Birdwell, came to see the Short-eared Owls today, he didn't see any, but instead he found a roost of 4 Long-eared Owls, a first for the Ings! (site confidential) All 5 British species of owl have been seen on here now.

A Short-eared Owl was flushed by a dog-walker in the field on the north side of Monckton Flash. A Little Owl was also seen in it's usual place and a Buzzard flew over.

Cliff - about 30 years ago (wow didn't realise how quick time has passed!) I was told by a fellow who used to walk around there that he'd seen 5 or 6 owls sat together in bushes over a stream. I did try several times to find them but never did. I wouldn't be suprised if they have been there regularly ever since.

Who knows Steve could well be. I bet if I trawl my old records I might find at least one sighting up in that area. Where they are is good but they would be vulnerable to the slightest interference.
