It's really not that cold still so we tried a night session using the thermal imager and a single net for owls.
My efforts failed, again so sign of Barn Owl, a common theme of my attempts for owls this season, then a couple of male Tawny Owl that sat up in trees either side of the net but refused to come any further. The squeaky mouse sound was no more successful.
Thankfully Chris did rather better returning with two Skylarks and and two Woodcock for his efforts.
