Hello i was wondring if anyone could help me a little please? Whilst i was on a day trip to Stroma in the sunny summer of 09 i happened upon/disturbed a Barn Owl that was living/roosting in an old house. It was very nice to see it but i felt a bit bad having disturbed it during the day.
The thing is when i was watching BBC Autumnwatch i'm sure i heard them say Barn Owls don't live as far North? I find this hard to believe as i've seen a Lost Barn Owl living on a North sea oil platform for 3 days last winter when the weather was bad and i'm sure i've seen them in Caithness over my years. I suppose the one on Stroma could of been lost aswell but the weather conditions were great and it was bang in the middle of summer.
Anyways it's been bothering me for a good while so any help and info will be great as i hate to think my ugly mug scared off the only Barn Owl in the North of Scotland hahaha.
