TSoc: Osprey Colonisation of the Scottish Borders

Tweeddale Society presents a talk with Tony Lightley.

Looking to the skies in March and April each year and wondering why were all these Ospreys passing through the area to breed much further North when the habitat was perfect for them the Scottish Borders. Plentiful fishing opportunities in productive clean rivers, lochs and game fisheries  numerous forested areas for nesting sites and very little recreational and agricultural disturbance at that time. The talk will explain how we attracted the birds to the area, the effects of the birds being here and where we are now with the population.
