Adult female Snowy Owl on Tarmon Hill today - this is the same bird that I found in September 2006 (then a 3rd calendar year bird) that returned each autumn until last being seen in late July 2012. I wonder where she has been in the intervening years? The one day bird seen on 8th March this year was considered to be an adult female & so presumably this bird - despite searching though she wasn't seen again .....
