Or by post to 22 Beaumont Place, Lancaster LA1 2EY. Phone 01524 69248. Please note that for records to be included in the annual report, the deadline is the end of February. Late records will still be used for the database, but once the report is written, I’m not going to update or rewrite on the basis of late records. The report is also going to have to be written earlier in the year, in February, as I’m full on with work in March/April and I just can’t do it! Greater Manchester These records should only go to Peter Hardy, 28 Hyde Grove, Sale, M33 7TE, email [email protected] - not to Laura Sivell. Some people have been sending their records to both, leading to a fair amount of wasted time in sorting out the duplicate records. Likewise Lancashire and Merseyside records should only go to Laura. Record Validation A few records that seem improbably out of area or outside the normal flight time have been omitted, or included but with a proviso. Of the Big Butterfly Count records, each record has been checked against a map and those records which were judged improbable - mainly of Common Blue in urban areas - were excluded along with the Marbled Whites. Inexperienced recorders can easily mistake a common from a Holly Blue which would be the likelier species in urban gardens. The New Recorded Squares Table The table now shows the percentage of the total number of squares recorded that showed each species. It should give more accurate trends for the more generalist and widespread species. It will show less change in the rarer species as all/most of these are covered by site transects on the specialised habitats in which they are found, which are going to be visited and counted no matter how many squares are recorded in total. Any change in the percentage of those is going to be partly down to total recording effort, and partly down to trends within the species. The 2019 Butterfly Season An early spring with some unusually warm days, and summer was not too bad but there were wet spells that resulted in flooding in some areas. In Lancashire, we got off quite lightly. Autumn had plenty of warm, dry days. The pattern was repeated in 2020, with a record-setting warm, dry spring leading to drought conditions for some spring species , a rather wet June and July, and August quite unsettled. Nationally, the sunshine was lower than average in June July and August (according to Radio 4). Included in this report are some line charts showing the population trends, with some comments, which relate to Morecambe Bay in general, including some sites in south Cumbria covering years up to 2019. The text that came with the graphs is included in italics. Introduction to a really strange report This report covers butterflies in 2019 and some highlights of the 2020 season. We were hoping more records would have been submitted early, but little has been forthcoming other than the records from the website, and schemes such as the Big Butterfly Count, iRecord, The Wider Countryside Recording Scheme which are run by head office are normally sent to local recorders late in the year or early the following year; with staff on furlough (some jobs at head office have also been lost) I’m not expecting them any time soon. Late fliers can’t be included but updates will be given about autumn sightings in the newsletter. Because of Covid 19 and the lockdown, transect records won’t cover all species and vulnerable early fliers such as the Pearl-bordered Fritillary will be lacking in monitoring . If anyone who normally walks a transect happened to stumble along a transect route during lockdown for their daily exercise, records can be inputted and will be accepted. The same goes for any casual records that people may be worried about submitting. Moth reports for 2019 are in this document, but as moths are less seasonal than butterflies, 2020 reporting will not be covered here but will be accessible through the Lancashire Moth Group website in due course. Hot news at the time of writing is the result of the 2020 Big Butterfly Count: The results of the Big Butterfly Count have been revealed, and fewer butterflies than ever were recorded in each count this year. This was despite a record number of counts being submitted overall (145,249). It means that 2020 saw the lowest average number of butterflies logged per count since the event began 11 years ago, and a -34% reduction when compared to 2019.

Sv ir id o v received 24.II.2000 Summary: 630 species of the Noctuidae are listed for the modern Volgo-Ural fauna. 2 species [Mesapamea hedeni Graeser and Amphidrina amurensis Staudinger ) are noted from Europe for the first time and one more— Nycteola siculana Fuchs —from Russia. 3 species ( Catocala optata Godart , Helicoverpa obsoleta Fabricius , Pseudohadena minuta Pungeler ) are deleted from the list. Supposedly they were either erroneously determinated or incorrect noted from the region under consideration since Eversmann 's work. 289 species are recorded from the re­ gion in addition to Eversmann 's list. This paper is the fifth in a series of publications1 dealing with the composition of the pres­ ent-day fauna of noctuid-moths in the Middle Volga and the south-western Cisurals. This re­ gion comprises the administrative divisions of the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Saratov, Samara, Uljanovsk, Orenburg, Uralsk and Atyraus (= Gurjev) Districts, together with Tataria and Bash­ kiria. As was accepted in the first part of this series, only material reliably labelled, and cover­ ing the last 20 years was used for this study. The main collections are those of the authors: V.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

It is represented in Chile by two described species, both from the Atacama Desert. New information Iridopsis socoromaensis sp. n. (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Ennominae: Boarmiini) is described and illustrated from the western slopes of the Andes of northern Chile. Its larvae were found feeding on leaves of the Chilean endemic shrub Dalea pennellii (J.F. Macbr.) J.F. Macbr. var. chilensis Barneby (Fabaceae). Morphological differences of I. socoromaensis sp. n. with the two species of the genus previously known from Chile are discussed. A DNA barcode fragment of I. socoromaensis sp. n. showed 93.7-94.3% similarity with the Nearctic I. sanctissima (Barnes & McDunnough, 1917). However, the morphology of the genitalia suggests that these two species are distantly related. The © Vargas H.

    Poplars and Willows: Trees for Society and the Environment / Edited by J.G

    Poplars and Willows Trees for Society and the Environment This volume is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Victor Steenackers. Vic, as he was known to his friends, was born in Weelde, Belgium, in 1928. His life was devoted to his family – his wife, Joanna, his 9 children and his 23 grandchildren. His career was devoted to the study and improve- ment of poplars, particularly through poplar breeding. As Director of the Poplar Research Institute at Geraardsbergen, Belgium, he pursued a lifelong scientific interest in poplars and encouraged others to share his passion. As a member of the Executive Committee of the International Poplar Commission for many years, and as its Chair from 1988 to 2000, he was a much-loved mentor and powerful advocate, spreading scientific knowledge of poplars and willows worldwide throughout the many member countries of the IPC. This book is in many ways part of the legacy of Vic Steenackers, many of its contributing authors having learned from his guidance and dedication. Vic Steenackers passed away at Aalst, Belgium, in August 2010, but his work is carried on by others, including mem- bers of his family.

The Development Strategy set out at Key Statement DS1 of the Core Strategy directs the majority of the new housing development to the strategic site south of Clitheroe (known as Standen) and the principal settlement so Clitheroe, Longridge and Whalley. In addition it directs a limited amount of new housing to the Tier 1 villages which are considered to be the more sustainable of the 32 defined settlements outside the principal settlements. In addition to DS1, Table 4.12 of the Core Strategy sets out clearly the spatial direction of new housing and the general quantum of growth in the principal and Tier 1 settlements.
