  • The Draycote Benefice Parish Profile
    THE DRAYCOTE BENEFICE The Parishes of Birdingbury, Bourton and Draycote, Frankton And Stretton on Dunsmore with Princethorpe PARISH PROFILE Page 1 of 20 BISHOP’S INTRODUCTION The Draycote benefice is a good example of how a rural, multi-parish benefice can thrive during an interregnum! They have built on good foundations and developed some excellent lay-led initiatives across the benefice which are already bearing good fruit. They are looking for a leadership style which seeks to train and empower them further. They have a heart for the gospel in a rural context and want to be missional, which is hugely encouraging. Indeed, they are not just planning to reach out to their communities in the future, they have already begun a number of missional activities and events. I have been impressed by the lay leadership I have seen in the Draycote group. The wardens and different parish churches work well together. They have tried hard to make this role do-able, and I believe it will be enjoyable and stimulating working with them. They are genuinely open to trying new things. The only significant contention I have picked up is about the location of the vicarage, which has now been approved by all the PCCs. Undoubtedly, finding a suitable vicarage within the benefice has been difficult. A suitable property has been found in a nearby village, but the time taken to purchase and refurbish this has resulted in a longer vacancy than they had originally anticipated, so there is now a feeling of becoming tired without dedicated spiritual leadership.

    Numbers of wintering gulls in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and Isle of Man: a review of the 1993 and previous Winter Gull Roost Surveys Niall H. K. Burton, Andy J. Musgrove, Mark M. Rehfisch, Anna Sutcliffe and Ray Waters Steve McQueen ABSTRACT This paper summarises the January 1993 Winter Gull Roost Survey and evaluates the results of this and the four previous surveys of wintering gulls, carried out in 1953, 1963, 1973 and 1983. In total, 2,594,491 gulls were counted in Great Britain during the 1993 survey: 1,263,208 at inland sites and 1,331,283 on the coast, comprising an estimated 1,682,385 Black-headed Gulls Larus ridibundus, 429,331 Common Gulls L. canus, 60,830 Lesser Black-backed Gulls L. fuscus, 376,775 Herring Gulls L. argentatus, 43,108 Great Black-backed Gulls L. marinus and 2,062 gulls of other species.A further 19,030 gulls were counted in Northern Ireland, 3,853 in the Isle of Man and 8,477 in the 376 © British Birds 96 • August 2003 • 376-401 Wintering gulls in the UK Channel Islands. Using thresholds of 1% of the respective minimum British populations, 22 sites of potential national importance were identified for Black-headed Gull, 28 for Common Gull, 19 for Lesser Black-backed Gull, 19 for Herring Gull and 20 for Great Black-backed Gull.Areas in which gulls were counted varied between surveys, but gulls at inland sites in England were counted in all five surveys.All five ‘key’ species increased at inland sites in England between 1953 and 1993, in particular Lesser Black-backed Gulls.
