A late night trip up into Langsett moors for a certain crepuscular bird. The temp had dropped to about 6 degrees, 9:30pm, and not even a churr yet, I wasn’t feeling hopeful.
There were a few Woodcock flying around, keeping us entertained along with a single Long eared Owl, there was also young owls calling from the nearby tree line, the target bird was a no show, the Nightjar, was a heard only, and very briefly.



Would love to see the long eared owl, I’ve walked up langsett for years but have never seen a long eared owl. Where about’s on langsett did you see it?
Hi Harrison…I cant really tell you exactly, due to the sensitivity of the bird, however, you really to be around at the dusk time of day, best time to see them, try the southern end. Happy hunting
Thanks for that I’ll keep trying.
