Visited the area yesterday, saw the WF geese on north island; and oyster catchers in front of RSPB hide; plus a pair of goldeneye and 1 little grebe on Swan Pool. Question: In the woods around the 2 small pools to the south of Swan Pool are there any owls? might have seen one there flying low through the trees.

Yes we get Tawny Owl up there
