We do get lots of the other types of owl but not the barn owl. When we kept the chickens, it was an owl cacophony at night!! All after the mice which were after the corn left by the chickens.i didnt know we had woodpeckers nearby till this year, the owls you commonly see gliding above the dykes morning and evening, its something that started when the boys built their mum a bird table 4-5 years back,its become a bit of an obsession for me
