Joint Carsington Bird Club/Derbyshire Ornithological Society Event

With a reasonable attendance of around 30 people, the evening sped by. Clearly an accomplished and knowledgeable speaker, Graham Appleton delighted the audience with his mix of science and humour, but having the ability to engage with the audience at any level. I for one, learn’t a great deal last night.

Bird of the Month for August – Barn Owl ( Tyto alba )

With heart shaped face, buff back and wings and pure white under parts the barn owl is a distinctive and much loved countryside bird. Widely distributed across the UK, and indeed the world, the bird has suffered declines over the past fifty years as a result of the degradation of once prey-rich habitats in the face of intensive agricultural practices.

They have AMBER Status.
