Eagle Owls


Ok, I know it's outside our area, but thought it may be of interest.

Eagle Owls have reared 3 chicks at Dusop Bridge, Bowland. Rumour has it that they layed eggs last year as well, but that they were prevented from hatching. There was also a report that they had predated a Hen Harrier. The adults are not ringed (as far as I know) which presumably (?) discounts a N. Yorks origin. I understand that another adult bird has been knocking about in Leeds, although I haven't checked this out yet.
