High Flyer at Warwick Business School
Latest press releasesWith less than 200 breeding pairs in the UK this osprey, pictured hunting at the lake to the rear of Warwick Business School, has provided a spectacular display.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) says that the core population area in the UK is in the Scottish Highlands where ospreys favour areas with Scots Pine forests, fresh water lochs and rivers. These provide nesting and feeding sites similar to those found in Scandinavia. UK birds mainly winter in West Africa. Migrating ospreys can stop at any suitable lake or reservoir with plenty of fish, sometimes staying for days before moving on.
Warwickshire Wildlife Trust said that they were aware of a small number of birds in the area but were surprised that one was so near to the city.
"The Warwick University campus is managed to provide a pleasant environment for work and study but great care is also taken to protect and encourage wildlife. The visit by such a spectacular and rare visitor is a tribute to our environmental policies and the hard work of estates staff." Said Vincent Hammersley, Warwick Business School Director of Communications.
