Red Barn Road Billinge Monday 26th May

Spent almost an hour waiting between 8.45pm -9.45pm to see if the Little Owls often in the area would turn up but no such luck. I was compensated however by watching a Barn Owl for several minutes quartering the fields 250 metres south of Red Barn Road public footpath were it goes behind the farm buildings. http://binged.it/1gw03iv The Barn Owl was flying on the 75m contour mark in an easterly direction towards Billinge.
