Carsington Bird Club Events

‘The Osprey Project’ by David Bennett

For those of you who did not come to this meeting, you missed a treat.

David Bennett treated us a to a lovely, relaxed and  informed chat about the STW Osprey Project at Carsington Water, carried out by the Carsington Water Volunteer Rangers.  Full of interesting facts and funny anecdotes, David told the story of how the 2 Osprey platforms came about and how they were financed and built, and also the successes following the erection of the nesting/feeding poles. If you see this talk advertised at any other club/venue, be sure to go, as it is well worth the time spent.

With a reasonable attendance of around 30 people, the evening sped by.

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.
