One of my favourite birds, and last night I managed to see no less than five! I was giving a talk, at the Dunstanburgh Castle Hotel in Embleton, to the Potters Bar and Barnet RSPB members group who are in Northumberland for a few days. Night was setting in as I drove up the coastal route and two Barn Owls and a Fox between Lesbury and Embleton enriched the journey. After a very nice dinner it was time for the slide show. A late finish saw me eventually heading back south at 11pm. 45 mins later I’d found another three Barn Owls – all sandwiched into just 5mins of the journey between Widdrington and Ellington. All of this under a beautiful, clear starry sky. So much more exciting than driving in daylight.
