Further down the road, we reach a derelict building with a large veranda hidden among the trees – an abandoned hunting lodge (if I were in a situation to invest, I would choose to upgrade this into a luxury wildlife lodge). One White-eyed Buzzard has turned its back to us. It is too early to show.

Today, Barn Owls can be found across both islands, hunting open fields at twilight or comfortably resting in abandoned relics of the sugar cane industry.

We pour over photographs, read with envy the eye-witness accounts of the “lucky ones” and fabricate secret plans to abandon our loved ones and embark on expensive trips to track them down.

They are probably hunting for herring or some other hapless little fish. The site consists of the revitalised wastewater treatment ponds of an abandoned sugar mill with shrubs and small patches of forest. The sea is frothing with Great Cormorant and Herring Gull , with more than 100 birds diving into the water. What’s that?

As a youngster of 10-weeks old, it is abandoned by its parents and left to fend for itself. A big moon gives enough light for the gulls to hunt by, so the shearwaters seldom come onto land while the full moon is up. You have got to admire the Manx Shearwater.

Never ones to let facts stand in the way of a good, old-fashioned, witch-hunt, the hordes of cat crazies heeded the call of their overlords and not only sent emails but essentially took over the National Audubon Society’s Facebook page.
