REPORTED - Snowy Owl (good description, including "black spotting" given). It was seen alongside the road that runs north of Sutton St. Edmunds (Lincs), and was only just north of the village. Interestingly, this is the fourth time it has been seen it since January this year! Probably an escaped bird, but could be worth checking out - there was an influx into NW Europe during the winter, and the fenland landscape here might tempt a wild bird to stay? Information from Peterbirder/Cambirds Any additional information, please send to Mark Hawkes at marklhawkes @ yahoo.co.uk |

That puts it right next to the A17 doesn't it? |

Do I detect a hint of cynicism there Paul? |

No cynacism (yet  ), but just a confusing array of possible Sutton St Edmunds on Google Earth. I clearly chose the wrong one!

Maybe this is the bird that was reported at Donna Nook a few weeks ago! It was very elusive and local birders could only find Barn Owls oddly enough. No cynicism here either John |

all the Edmund references simply suggest some Baldrick involvement to those of us with a certain humour -- |
