Horrible feeling hitting a bird with your car.
Report it to the Barn Owl Trust mate.
They record all sightings alive and dead, so they can work out numbers and whether they’re going up or down.
Sadly cars are the biggest killers of adult Barn Owls after bad weather.

Funnily enough I was thinking about owls this morning. Live in south Liverpool and when I was young, a long time ago, I frequently saw owls. Not seen an owl in years
They’re still there mate.
Tawny Owls in the parks.
Barn Owls / Little Owls in Hale.
Short Eared Owls on the shore in the Winter.
It helps if you know where they’re likely to be and even then you hardly ever get to see them !

Only ever once seen a long eared owl and a little owl.
The others were more common where I used to live.
Never seen a Long Eared, but heard them in the pine woods around Formby - sound like someone blowing into an empty milk bottle !
Little Owls are more common than you think, it‘s just that they’re really easy to overlook, as they’re so small and really easy to miss with being really well camouflaged- best place is normally sat on top of a telephone phone pole in flat farmland.

That sounds a bit uncomfortable for bird watching. lol
Nice garden! Puts mine to shame. My grass is like straw at the moment.
Reported it on their website, cheers.
Put the picture of the owl up on family group chat. My sister replied saying she seen a buzzard in her back garden (she lives in Belgium) acting very strange rolling about and flapping it's wings. So she phoned the wildlife centre and someone came out and took it away. It had bird flu.
Not my garden but 'a' garden, I was sitting in the little garden behind the Edinburgh Records office (opposite The Balmoral Hotel Prince's St) waiting for herself to finish her searches and this little chap popped out from under a bush right infront of me.
