We have just come back from chirk Lady margarets park , cc site. Owls every night . I love listening to them . I did say I wanted to go out in the night to try and see them . I did walk around one evening . Hundreds of rabbits.
Just bear in mind that if it rains, you might not hear owls. They don't fly in the rain (their feathers aren't waterproof). I don't know if that means they don't whit-whoo though!
We have lots in our garden that make all sorts of noises. From comical traditional whit-whoos, so exaggerated it sounds like someone is imitating an owl, to screechy sounds that sound like someone is being killed (we check..).
Hope you have a lovely trip.

We have just returned from Hillcroft Park in The Lake District (review will be submitted) where I heard the twit twooing of an owl on one night, then the screeching of an owl another night; magical!
The other sites where I've been lucky enough to hear owls are Studfold (near Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire) and High Rigg Farm (Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire).
Hear them most nights on the campsite we stay on most of the time, I've also seen barn owls flying about also seen what we have been told are buzzards flying overhead, the site is Whitwell & Reepham station just outside Reepham, Norfolk. About half way between Norwich and Fakenham
------------- here today , where tomorrow?
yet another full timer,
Well, here we are at Setthorn campsite in the New Forest and last night we were treated to a concert if owl calls - it was fantastic. Thanks to all for your suggestions!
