1 out of 2 isn't bad for me if that's the case. My first self-found Long-eared Owl in the Fylde was last week when one flew past me whilst jogging at night. I can never find them in bushes unless someone gives me twig by twig instructions.

Hi Mark,M N Reeder said:They're easy to find, just look for the Sh-t. It looks like someones whitewashed the branches.

Michael Frankis said:Hi Mark,
How do you tell LEO sh-t (rarely to be found) from crow / pigeon / heron / sparrowhawk etc sh-t (abundant)?

Yes I know what you mean Stephen. We used to have a roost containing over 14 birds. Unfortunately they got hassled to death. Now when we find them we keep them quiet.Stephen Dunstan said:Mark,
Thanks for the tip, I will certainly bear it in mind! Unfortunately at the local site (Marton Mere) they often shift from roost sites soon after they are found because people don't stick to the paths and pressure them. So the accumulation of 'guano' doesn't get that great.
