Hi Ian,
Not sure of any sites, but advice I can give would be find suitable habitat ie rough grass/marshland and stake it out at for at least a couple of weeks each day for an hour before dawn and dusk. Barn Owl's can be VERY local, so they may show well 200 metres up the road from more decent habitat. Also as well as the habitat look out for old farm buildings and hollow tree's, You could also ask local farmers and landowners if they have Barn Owls on their land.
