Does anyone know of a good place to get an Owl photo around Leeds? Any tip offs appreciated. I took a good shot on holiday in Turkey and would like some more.... https://flic.kr/p/vqewBa. Little Owl against the sea. Love Nuthatches too if any known around Leeds... https://flic.kr/p/nSgd31.

Hopefully nobody will post details of Owl roost sites on an open forum,or send a personal message to someone they don't know.

You sometimes get Shorties during the winter hunting over the ridge and furrow at St Aidan's. Tawnies - use your ears first, they are vocal at this time of year, once you find a calling bird use fieldcraft to home in on it. Littles - kin hard around Leeds. Long ears - no chance. Barnies - nothing I know of in Leeds area

I watched a hunting barn owl last Sunday on my local patch, had a go at filming it despite the poor light. It would have been better not to have used the zoom feature as that completely ruined the clip. I'll know better next time.

Nuthatches are common in the woods at Roundhay Park, but for guaranteed opportunities try the feeding point in Golden Acre park, and the Marsh Hide at YWT Adel Dam. Also chuffed that we've seen one a few times this autumn in the trees right outside our window in Burley.

Totally missed the nuthatch question in the op... agree with the Adel Dam suggestion - you should get ample photo opportunities there.
Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go at Adel Dam / Golden Acre for the Nuthatch.
