    Hi Colin and Damian. Nice to see the clip of the Barn owl at Eccleston Mere. As you might know, there is a pair of them at Valencia Farm further south of the mere and they often fly in the direction of the mere when hunting. Quite possibly the same bird(s).

    I have a few recent stills of them and would be happy to send you the images.

    Regards,

    Simon Skidmore
