Hi folks
I see from the Herts Bird Club website sightings that a couple of Barn Owls have been spotted out near Hatfield (http://www.hnhs.org/birds/),
"Hatfield, 2 Barn Owl, 2 Barn owls seen at the back of the New Barnfield Site in field near Parsons wood, OS grid ref TL223061 (B Donovan)"
I've never seen one and wonder if this might be my first real opportunity. However, I'm not sure how I should go about it?! Should I go out at dawn/dusk or are Barn Owls pretty visible/active during the day time? How do I go about locating them from the above grid reference (nearest postcode is: AL10 8YF)? It feels a bit like going to look for a needle in a hay stack, lol.
Any help, advice or pointers would be gratefully received.
Many Thanks
Hobbes
