Ciril Ostroznik and the North Solway Ringing Group
Ciril Ostroznik and
North Solway Ringing Group
Ciril’s father, Herman, left the former Yugoslavia,
and settled in Ae Village. He brought with him a love of raptors, particularly
Sparrowhawks. Herman found employment with the Forestry Commission and, as the
only birds of prey in the Scottish Forests were Sparrowhawks in those days, Herman
became an expert on Sparrowhawks. During the school holidays the young Ciril
would go out with his father. This was the start of Ciril’s lifelong interest
in raptors. From an early age he would study the habits of the birds as well as
getting in tune with other life in the forest.
Whilst Herman
was working, Ciril would be climbing trees, thus honing the skills which would
become invaluable to him, both in his future work, and as a nest builder for large
raptors. He became so adept at climbing trees that he relates – “there is not a
tree I cannot climb.”
When Ciril left school the obvious job for him was
as a wood-cutter with the Forestry Commission. He did this work for many years
until he decided to train as a tree surgeon. His climbing skills were now put to
good use.
Being self-employed meant that he was also able to observe raptors in
the area and could manage his free time to investigate nests and habitats of
the large raptors. This led on to building nests for Ospreys. Indeed not only
does he build nests in his own locale, he goes all over Scotland to do this
work, such is his renown.
Nowadays, the youngster who is learning the climbing
skills is Ciril’s grandson Arron, watched over by both Ciril and his son in law
Keith.
As his knowledge of raptors grew Ciril joined the North Solway Ringing Group, just as his father had done before him. This
group has been operational for at least fifty years. Since inception the group
has grown to around thirty members and helpers. Many of the group have a
specialist subject such as owls, kestrels, sea birds, small birds, raptors, etc
covering all categories of bird.
All the birds are ringed using metal rings supplied
by the British Trust for Ornithology, and the Group rings in the region of ten
thousand birds a year. Ringers must have special Training to use the rings.
Metal Ring
Each ring is numbered and information, such where the bird was found, if in a nest, the number and sex of the young in the nest, is applied to this ring. The ring number is assigned to the bird for its lifetime, and tells both where it came from and where it flies to.
The North Solway ringing Group holds meetings in Castle Douglas and members from Ayrshire also attend.
There are regular times when the public can attend netting sessions to see how the birds are caught and ringed using mist nets (fine mesh nets).The birds are then set free, and can be identified wherever they go. The ringing Group also put up nest boxes and ring the young in the box.
Mist Netting pictured
Canon Netting pictured
If you net shore birds and waders, you require a different type of netting. This is called canon or rocket netting.
If you net shore birds and waders, you require a different type of netting. This is called canon or rocket netting.
The net has one edge attached to the ground, charges are connected up to the nets, which are then fired over the birds. This type of netting should only be undertaken by an experienced team to manage the process. The North Solway Ringing Group do canon netting along the sea shores and often will take boat trips to ring birds on the islands around the Solway.
Ospreys
are ringed using both metal and large rings known as Darvic Rings which
are made of Durable Plastic. The large ring number can be seen from the ground allowing for easy identification in other parts of the
world where the birds might fly to. When the Osprey has been ringed The North Solway Ringing group
then sends this ring information to Roy Dennis http://www.roydennis.org/ famous for Conservation of rare birds and
the reintroduction of rare species such as white-tailed eagle, and red kite, He
catalogues the Ring information and history, which can be accessed by anyone
from other parts of the world where the bird might fly to. People from other
parts of the world will get all the details of the bird from Roy Dennis from the ring number.

Recommended Car Wash The Hand Job Heathall
I went to the car wash. It was an
experience. The car was washed with inside door and boot trims hand cleaned.
Whilst waiting for the car one is ushered in to a sitting area where you are
offered a tea or coffee and can watch TV on a lovely sofa.
When the car wash is complete the tyres have also been
treated and there is not a speck of dirt to be seen. The car looks brand new,
This is just the basic wash other levels of cleaning
are also on offer.
The business occupies 11-14 Spitfire Road and
provides Powder Coating, Garage and Tyre
facilities as well as the excellent car wash, all overseen by congenial host
and owner Andy who ensures everything is just perfect for you.
If your car is needing a wash go to the Hand Job. It
is better than other car washes in town. You will not be disappointed.

Update from Ciril on his work with Birds of Prey
Kirkmahoe News has once more been chatting with
Ciril Ostroznik about his work with raptors. Ciril is a licensed ringer who
also has special permission to work alongside the Forestry Commission
Conservation Department.
In the past 50 years there has been a huge change in
the way forests are managed. They have been opened up providing clear areas
which allow for bird flight which in turn allows the raptors to hunt for food.
By managing the forests this way, the Forestry Commission has provided the
ideal habitat for the rare birds we now have in our region.
The Forestry Commission also has a Conservation
Department which monitors these birds and when one is identified this
department ensures that the area around where this bird is living is never disturbed.
When a bird has been spotted in an area of forest Ciril identifies the location
of the nest and liaises with this department to make them aware of the exact
site. Another of Ciril’s tasks is to build Osprey nests, and he tells us there
are now sixteen active nests in our region.
Ciril is a member of the Dumfries & Galloway
Raptor Study Group which monitors all birds of prey. They work as a group and
if a bird is spotted, again, Ciril will firstly find the nest, and secondly,
liaise with the Forestry Commission so that they can protect that location.
It is 34 years since Ciril found his first Gos
Hawk’s nest in Ae Forest. Prior to this there was only Buzzards and
Sparrowhawks. Nowadays there are a lot more Goshawks in our forests. They are
successful raptors as they are not selective eaters. In fact they will eat
anything particularly crows, wild pigeons and jays.
The great success of this conservation has been the
sighting of Honey Buzzards in Galloway Forest Park. They are selective eaters,
foraging for honeycombs of social wasps to feed the grubs to their young. When
the wasps die down they eat young frogs. A Honey Buzzard’s nest is littered
with honeycombs , thus of course, the name Honey Buzzard.
When Ciril rings the birds they can be followed on
their migration. He tells the story of a nest of 2 male osprey chicks and one
female chick, which he had ringed. After they flew off, the female, was spotted
in the Channel Islands flying, playing games and having a lot of fun with a
young Peregrine Falcon. Someone managed to take a picture of this and was lucky
to record such a rare sighting of an Osprey in the Channel Islands.
Red Kites are also flourishing in our region since they
were re-introduced, and we, in Kirkmahoe, can see them regularly around the
Newlands Estate area.
Another interesting aspect which Ciril has noticed
is, that because there are more large raptors, they are taking over the
forests, and pushing out the smaller birds of prey such as the Sparrowhawks to smaller woods.
Because of the Conservation work done by the
Forestry Commission and the Raptor Study Group of Dumfries & Galloway we
would not be so fortunate to have these beautiful and rare birds visiting our
area. As Ciril says,”It all revolves around a good habitat, and it is just
perfect now.”
Ciril’s son in law and grandson are now in training to
carry on his work with raptors, when he retires.
As a little foot note you may remember seeing
pictures of the White Leucistic Buzzard which lives in the Galloway Forest
Park. He is now eleven years old which is way beyond life expectancy for a
white bird. We think he now deserves a name, can you think of one? Ciril will choose the name he thinks will suit this buzzard best.

We have now reviewed our proposals against the feedback we received during the second round of consultation on preferred routes, which took place between October and December last year. Our responses to the questions raised, including how these have influenced the design of the project, are detailed in a summary of feedback report.
You can view and download a copy of our feedback report on our project website at https://www.spenergynetworks.co.uk/pages/dumfries_galloway_project_documents.aspx
Hard copies of the report and other relevant associated documents will be available from the following local information points by mid March. NB Opening hours may be subject to change and we recommend calling before making a special trip to avoid a wasted journey.
