Hi Norman ,got this off a nature site.Care should be taken not to get too close as it was reported the birds attacked a couple of people.
'Now for the good news! The Bowland Eagle Owls have succeeded in rearing three young this year and these are now flying. Indeed, the ‘jungle drums’ are suggesting that there are in fact no less than three pairs in this area, though I can only confirm the pair with the youngsters at this point. What is even better is that you can now go and see these dramatic birds for yourself as long as you are up to a 3 mile walk and another three miles back! They are located on United Utilities land just north of Dunsop Bridge half a mile south of Whitendale Farm – whose enlightened tenant I am glad to say, welcomes their presence, as does the equally enlightened gamekeeper whose beat this is. The Grid Reference is SD659542 or 660543 depending who you listen to! Park your car at Dunsop Bridge post office and head north along a road with the river on your left. Don’t go over the bridge. Continue along the road as it goes uphill and look for a ‘Footpath Closed’ sign (erected to safeguard lunatic dog walkers who insist on taking ‘Rover’ with them to see the birds – so please don’t let the Trust down by going down this path or taking your own dog with you). Instead, at this sign, turn right along a metalled road to Whitendale Farm (I understand they do B.& B. if you want to make a real go of it!) and look for posts 67A & 68A. Stop at a stream and a fence (don’t cross these, otherwise you could find yourself arrested for disturbing the birds!!!). The site should now be obvious opposite you on a hillside.
Watch and wait – and be patient! And enjoy a fantastic sight you’ll never forget. '
