I know if anyone won't respond, but can anyone perhaps suggest some sites near Cambridge where I can watch long-eared and little owls to complete my collection?
If people think I want to collect eggs or will disturb them, I can email an entire mountain of pictures of shy birds including an oriole which I did not disturb. I have observed the peregrines at the chalk pits for weeks and know of tawny owl and sparrowhawk SPECIFIC nest locations.
I have observed:
Long-eared owls in Russia without disturbing them
An eagle-owl without disturbing it
A snowy owl
I have seen and photographed barn owls for long periods
I have observed and photographed lots of short-eared owls
4 tawny owlets
I can prove any by the snowy owl with images as well. I can post all of them if someone asks.
My point is, if someone can PM me the location of a long-eared owl roost near Cambridge, even a vague idea, I would be extremely grateful. If you live near Cambridge I could offer the sparrowhawk location in return, or a lot more.
My main question, however, is LITTLE owls.
I visited the Wicken fen logpile twice and not once did I see it! Besides that is a bit far away. If anyone can suggest anything, do pm me. I would be supremely grateful.
Thank you!
