Deepdale Farm - 25th February 2025

 A few hours in the evening at Deepdale after the rain . The wind got up a bit and the first net up while Chris was out with the thermal failed to catch any of the owls that I saw, but he did get a Woodcock and Skylark. 

Adult Woodcock

We then moved on to the barn where owls have been seen hunting. This is also the site of an A-frame nest box. We caught a beautifully pale male entering the barn in the first 5 minutes. He was already ringed and having access to DemOn we know it was ringed as a pullus in 2017. Details from PWL who works in partnership with ringer - he was from Marsh House Farm in Burnham Overy. One of three young ringed 3rd July 2017. No other records for him.

Total: 2 (1)

Barn Owl - 0 (1)
Skylark - 1
Woodcock - 1
