Found all the details out from some VERY helpful children and a lady in the street who has awesome pictures on her phone! It roosts in an amazingly massive Copper Beech Tree (purple leaves) which is next to a Wall in Thomas Street. See street map

Don't even think of driving your car down Thomas Street - I did and I won't be again and also not fair to the residents. It is a a very short, incredibly narrow street. Park in Guanock Terrace just around the corner. Apparently its been in the local papers, RSPCA have been out and quote from the lady 'not much help'. Baytree Garden Centre have been out and nobody can catch it. Its driving the local dogs crazy apparently.
I might email the Hawk & Owl Trust, as its not in an ideal situation at all, for it to be in. Very built up area and also very small children running around!!!!! Plus its only going to end up getting shot the second its caught someone's precious dog or cat!
I didn't see it whilst I was there and now going back with my camera.

UPDATE - Saw the Eagle Owl sitting on a roof and photographed it - fabulous bird! Full update on my blog shortly and pictures to follow. Please note I have just amended the street to 'Thomas Street'. Also its been there at least 6 weeks!!! DO NOT PARK IN THIS STREET PLEASE!
