Harewood house have them.

You can see them going over the A59 at Blubberhouses as well.

They tend to be spreading out more now, regular sightings at Bolton Abbey and Skipton.

Are there some nesting near where the A59 hits the A1? Seem to see plenty around there.

Sorry Ade, only just picked up on your question.

I don't use that road much, so no real experience, but have seen them around the wooded area of the A59 nearer to Knaresborough. I guess they could be nesting in that area, plenty of woods around.

Quite a few around ATM, i see one often scanning the railway line in the morning for an easy breakfast. Kirkby Overblow is a small village near Plumpton rocks that has a reputation for easy sightings.
