Bristol Barn Owl?

[njlarsen]

Dear All,
I would really like to know if there is a location for seeing Barn Owls in or near Bristol? I will be there for a couple of days in May.

And my apologies for posting here if this is the wrong forum: I have just read that Bristol always have been its own County, and that Avon does not even exist as a county anymore, but someone else stated that Bristol sometimes have been included in Avon OR Somerset, so I was a little confused with where to post. ;)

Try Burnett, near Keynsham, or we saw three between 20:00 and 21:00 on 30 July 09 over the reeds behind Heron's Green Pool at Chew Valley Lake - see:

Thanks for your answer! As luck has it, I will probably not come back to the Bristol area :-C

Sorry the information came too late for your visit, but this seemed as good a thread as any to put the information for anyone else who may visit the Bristol area in search of Owls (or waterfowl for that matter).
