Welcome to the Carsington Bird Club Website
Bird of the Month (September) |
The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), is a fish-eating bird of prey. It is a large raptor, reaching 60 centimetres (24 in) in length with a 1.8 metre (6 ft) wingspan. This spectacular bird of prey is an Amber List species because of its historical decline (due to illegal killing), and low breeding numbers. A beautiful bird, very often seen at Carsington in March/April, on it's way north to breed and in August/September, on it's way south to it's wintering destinations in Africa. |

For those of you who also visit Willingon Gravel Pits - Last Saturday during late afternoon/early evening a car parked just over the bridge at the top of the lane and thus quite close, but possibly out of site, of the main road had the back window smashed in by vandals etc. As a lot of birders now park near the fishermans entrance gate this may act as a warning to birders about their cars being broken into. This may be occurring again here because it is now a very popular birding site. from Rodney Key (DOS) |
