There is a field we visit here in our home county, which up until recently was a communal roost for Northern Harriers and Short-eared Owls.
In 2023 we saw 23 of the former in the field, soaring in to roost on the fence or crouching down in the short brush. (Checklist with photos: https://ebird.org/checklist/S129462371) On other nights there were at least five owls with them.
Last year we spotted a handful.
Yesterday there was one. (Checklist with Photos: https://ebird.org/checklist/S1294623710
No owls at all.
Ain't development fun....
