Owls in St Helens

Has anybody seen any type of Owl at Eccleston Mere this year?
I myself haven't. Best place to look etc, if there is any about or for that matter anywhere in St Helens! Not seen one of the five types at all this year so far...It's not for not trying either.
Cheers
Howard.

    No, I've not seen or heard any yet, but then again I've not been at dusk or at night recently. Last year I had a site for a Tawny Owl roost but I've not seen it there this year.

    A couple of sightings of the little owls around Billinge, Howard. I would be loathed to give out specifics for the Barn Owls of the area over this public medium. Would be happy to email some locations thru for you.
