Frank, I do understand from a birding collegue that owls regularly use the same perch and so your idea would work, in fact it would probably be better than using a torch directly on the owl, however, at present I am not familair enough with my local owls to know which perches they use. I will try a headtorch to begin with and then try your method when i am more familiar with their regular perches.
Thanks,
Robin
