Thanks Mav, we are coming from Exmoor, primary reason is to see family but could maybe persuade them that our granddaughter would love a little trip there

No bother, Adam. I know some very good places for the spring arrivals in the North East (pretty much in a short space). We don't get many rarities in County Durham (by other county standards) but we do get some beauty birds easily accessible and in good numbers (compared with some other counties): Ring Ouzel, Spotted and Pied, Green Woodpecker, Redstart, Crossbill, Whinchat, Wheatear, Cuckoo and so on. I suppose it depends on where you are in the country as to whether or not these are commonish birds for you and easily accessible in good numbers.

Owl information may be difficult to come by for a few reasons but where I live we do very well for all 5 British owls. I personally know good spots for all 5 but I don't have the same commitment to waiting patiently for a photograph as I do with the songbirds. For me, the time flies by waiting for the songbirds but an hour feels like a day waiting for an owl.

Either way, 'happy to help with information in the future.
