Barn Owl extravaganza
On the way home yesterday by another route due to birthday mission a Barn Owl was hunting at a new site.
Today after doing the Spa gull roost and Sandsend gull roost - no result. Decided to head back to yesterday's Barn Owl site, and found two more at another site on the way.
Over at Coastguards there is still a single Velvet Scoter, 40 or so Common Scoter, a flock of 18 Eider + another 15 or so, 2 Red-throated Divers, 3 Guillemots and assorted Shags and Cormorants.
On the cliff top there were a good assortment of waders including 38 Lapwing, 35 Golden Plover, 3 Ringed Plover, about 50 Curlew, 4 Redshank and about 100 Oystercatcher. There was also a sizeable Fieldfare flock of at least 160.

I've seen what is probably(?) the same barn owl hunting around the Newholm area on and off over the last two months.
There seem to be quite a few about. David, thanks for that all Barn Owl records are useful.
