Any twitchers out there?

[jaffasdad]

We've just returned from the River Breamish CC site in Northumberland (if you haven't been there, it's wonderful) and, as we were driving back to the site at dusk, a pair of enormous owls skimmed the hedges and flew past the car. They were darker and far bigger than barn owls and the only alternative I can think of would be would be eagle owls.

Do any bird experts have any views? Thanks in advance.

Ron, it more than likely was a pair of Eagle Owls.

Whilst numbers in the UK are small at the moment, there are several successfully breeding pairs in the North and North East of England
