五、會議結論：

（一）經實地訪查，廣興水域吸引保育類猛禽魚鷹、黑鳶之主要原因，為不當的放生，以及非法漁網的設置，致造成物種的傷害。經濟部水利署台北水源特定管區管理局以及臺北市自來水事業處，於上班期間（週一至週五）雖有確實巡防，然而假日期間則有巡防的漏洞。請主管單位研擬改善方法，並於一個月之內提出解決方案，送交三位立委國會辦公室，並請警政署支援的警力能由目前的七人，適當增加，以利調派。

（二）經濟部水利署台北水源特定管區管理局，應與台灣猛禽研究會合作，加強棲地物種（猛禽）的調查；並透過當地民間社團台北市人本教育會，在大眾教育及學校教育，雙管齊下做推廣活動，裨對生態保育及水源維護有所助益。

（三）經濟部水利署台北水源特定管區管理局，應先主動與當地村里長溝通，以替代處罰，有效提升水源保護及生態保育的品質。

（四）感謝生態攝影家杜秀良先生提供的完整圖片。

（五）感謝與會各單位全力支持與參與。

 

An Osprey Story Powerpoint

 

An Osprey Story

            On March 7, 2007, Mr. Du, a photographer, happened to be driving past Feitsui Reservoir, a large lake in Taipei County, about 30 km south of Taipei city.  He noticed something moving in the water.   Stopping to look, he saw that the moving object was a bird, an Osprey, uncommon in Taiwan.  As he watched, the Osprey tried to take off, but could only rise a short distance before falling back into the water.  The bird was having difficulty, but Mr. Du could not see what the problem was.  So, he watched for a few minutes.  Then he saw that the bird’s legs and neck had somehow become entangled in some netting.  He grabbed his camera to document the unusual situation while he thought about what to do. 

            The Osprey repeatedly tried to fly—and failed, falling back into the water again and again.  It was fighting for its life.  The bird’s struggles were gradually bringing it closer to shore.  Mr. Du decided that he would try to rescue it.   But how?   He had no way of knowing how long the bird had been caught in the netting and struggling to escape.  Time was important, and there was no one else around.   He must try to help, alone.

            There was only one thing to do.  Mr. Du removed most of his clothes and waded into the cold water, hoping he could get hold of the bird before it became more frightened and perhaps go into deeper water.  Good luck!  He was able to reach and catch the bird.  It was too tired to fight any more but it was still able to flex its strong feet.  Its sharp talons pierced Mr. Du’s hands; that hurt!  But, slowly and carefully, he was able to remove the netting and carry both the bird and the remains of the net to shore.  He set the bird on the beach, moved some distance away, put his clothes back on, watching to see that no further harm would come to the bird while it recovered from its ordeal, and taking more photographs as it rested.  He noticed that it had a small spot on its left eye.  If he ever saw the bird again, he would recognize it by that spot.  After a while, the Osprey shook itself a few times, then took off, flying strongly.  Success, and happiness at a good outcome!

            Next, Mr. Du examined the netting, which contained a small fish.  Probably, the bird had seen the fish from the air and tried to catch it, becoming caught in the net itself.
