![]() The relationship between our Welsh livestock farmers and Ospreys are positive. Livestock pastures present great opportunities for some birds of prey, accommodating open expanses of land for hunting and artificial perches (posts, fences, masts etc.) to aid sit and wait hunting. We also found that pastures are a prominent habitat in our Osprey breeding territories. There are no wind farms or persecution incidents in the breeding range of Ospreys in Wales. Our Welsh Osprey breeding range consists of mainly conifer forest, moors and heath, natural grassland and pasture habitats. The core breeding range for Ospreys covers 11.4% of Wales and is positioned near the coasts of north-west Wales (see above). ![]() Ospreys (Gweilch) Welsh Ospreys breed in a wide variety of habitats, nesting in areas near a water source which provides an adequate supply of fish - like White-tailed Eagles in many ways. Below are the key findings from our research on ecologically similar birds of prey in Wales. This allowed us to build comprehensive information about land uses and potential land use risks needed to further consider the feasibility of restoring our native lost eagles. This data allowed is to focus in on all bird of prey breeding ranges and conduct further analysis on associated habitats and anthropogenic land use avoidance. On top of Sam and Zoe efforts, we would also like to thank the Local Environmental Records Centres Wales/Canolfannau Cofnodion Amgylcheddol Lleol Cymru for providing us with relevant bird of prey data. We mapped the breeding ranges of Hen Harriers (Hen Tinwyn), Common Buzzards (Bwncath Gyffredin), Peregrine Falcon (Hebog Tramor), and as shown above for our Ospreys (Gweilch) and Red Kites (Barcud Coch). As part of our journey to restore our native-lost eagles to Wales, this information was something we needed to gather! We decided to map the breeding ranges of five birds of prey populations that share behavioral, dietary or nesting requirements with eagles - to gain insight to how eagles would use the Welsh landscape. Well … Wales does not have a Raptor Monitoring Group, so information on how birds of prey use the Welsh landscape is not well understood. Monitoring our birds of prey in Wales is an important part of our research to restore the Golden Eagle (Eryr euriad) and White-tailed Eagle (Eryr y mor) to Wales. #Birds of prey list updateAs many of us are now working from home, we have now found time to update you on our research. Zoe and Sam spent much of their time roaming around Wales gathering data on our Welsh birds of prey. These surveys were mostly conducted by two Master project students at Cardiff University - Sam Langdon and Zoe Marie Jones. ![]() Black Canary – “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World”ġ5.Much of last year was spent surveying Wales and its birds of prey.
