Dear friends,
In addition to raptors, I also really like observing owls, and am wondering whether you could advise me on where to observe owls in Cambridgeshire.
In regards to barn owls- I already know of an extremely reliable site for them- Brandon Fen, RSPB Lakenheath Fen. Recommend to pay this place a visit- beautiful views of them can be readily obtained. The only question I have is when to observe them and get the best photographs, as when I went a few weeks back I got a lovely image, but it was dark. Do they activate before dusk in the summer?
In regards to short-eared owls- Burwell Fen is great. However, when do short-eared owls usually start flying?
In regards to long-eared owls- I know this is a sensitive subject to many and I also know that roosts of this species are easily disturbed. All I ask is- are they still present in Lynford Arboretum? Just a vague idea is enough. This is not a priority, as I have wonderful images of them.
The two species I really want to see are little owls and tawny owls. I have heard that a tawny owl regularly roosts in Lynford Arboretum? Would it be ok if you told me where exactly ti roots, or PM me if you are uncomfortable with sharing details over the thread? In addition, is there any reliable place closer to Cambridge for them?
What would be a good and reliable spot to observe little owls? Today I tried the logpiles at Burwell fen but had no luck...
Thanks for the info!
