White Another year’s birding in Lancashire has been documented for posterity in this, the 2004 Lancashire Bird Report. As always, getting this together has involved a lot of work from several individuals under the direction of the editor. The number of sources we use seems to be ever- increasing but thankfully the vast majority are computer based and this allows us to disseminate the information to all the authors quickly and efficiently. We are always looking for volunteers to help with the compilation of the report, so if you have access to a computer and e-mail and could help then please e-mail the editor, Steve White. As I mentioned last year, the General Report was very well received and another will probably be published in 2006. As for the Avifauna, Steve White and Barry McCarthy have been putting in an immense effort these last twelve months to get the species accounts written and checked. I’m happy to say that this is at an advanced stage now. Details of pre-publication and membership offers will be circulated soon. We anticipate publication early in 2006. At the this year’s Annual General Meeting of the society, it was decided to raise the subscription rates for the first time in 16 years. Membership of the Lancashire and Cheshire Fauna Society will be £10 per annum from 2006 onwards – this will include a copy of the Lancashire Bird Report and any General reports. Members taking the Cheshire Bird Report as well will pay £17. The Society is non-profit making charity, manned totally by volunteers who give many hours of their time freely. It provides data that are key in many aspects of conservation in the North West. So if you aren’t already a member, please consider joining us and supporting the work we do. Details can be obtained from the web site or directly from the Honorary Secretary.

With the authorship of the report split between nine people and the growing number of people using bird recording software or word-processing, the preferred method of submission is via e-mail, though posting a disc or written records are still perfectly acceptable. Please can you ensure that records are submitted in systematic order. Files sent by e-mail or on disc should be in Word or simple text format and can be zipped up to save downloading time. Paper records should preferably be on one side of A4. In order to keep to our very strict deadlines so that the report can be published during September, all records from individuals should reach us by the end of February and reserve or area reports by the end of March. All records in whatever format you wish to use should be sent to the County Recorder. BRITISH BIRDS RARITIES Descriptions of nationally rare species (for the list, see British Birds Rarities Reports) should be submitted to the British Birds Rarities Committee via the County Recorder at the address above. The following records have been accepted by the BBRC since the publication of our last report: Ferruginous Duck, Brockholes Quarry, 12-17 September 2004 Great White Egret, Seaforth, 28 October 2004 Great Knot, Skippool Creek and Shard Bridge, 31 July and 16-17 August 2004 Semipalmated Sandpiper, Brockholes Quarry, 25 July 2004 Red-rumped Swallow, Marton Mere, 18-19 April 2004 The following records are still under consideration by the BBRC and/or the BOURC: Ferruginous Duck, Martin Mere, 2003-2004 Great White Egret, Oxcliffe Marsh and Leighton Moss, 27-30 May 2004 Red-footed Falcon, Bispham Marsh, 12 June 2005 Collared Pratincole, Freckleton, 23 May 2005 Caspian Tern, Eric Morecambe complex and Leighton Moss, 16 July 2005 Yellow Wagtail (lutea), Downholland Moss, 23 April 2003 Penduline Tit, Leighton Moss, 11 November 2004 Blue Jay, Thornton and Ainsdale, 5-7 June 2003 The following records were not accepted by the BBRC: Red-breasted Goose, Martin Mere, Marshside, Knowsley Park, 2003-2004 (presumed escape) Great Knot, Shard Bridge, 19 August 2004 Penduline Tit, Seaforth, 28 October 2004 Lancashire Bird Report 2004 5 COUNTY DESCRIPTION SPECIES Descriptions of species considered to be county rarities (see list below) should be sent to the County Recorder, preferably as soon after the sighting as possible. Most descriptions now come in by the preferred email route, some with digital images attached, but paper records are perfectly acceptable. The increase in digital submissions has meant that the county records committee has been able to circulate records and make decisions promptly. Consequently, there has been a significant increase in time spent in assessment of each and every record submitted with problematical records left to the annual meeting held in May. Current members of the committee are Steve White (Chair), Bill Aspin, Chris Batty, Maurice Jones, Barry McCarthy, Pete Marsh, Gavin Thomas and John Wright. The job of the committee is to run the rule over every record of a species that requires a description and they have an obligation to apply the rules even-handedly. On odd occasions this means that a perfectly good record will be fail to be accepted (normally through lack of detail). It is very rare that a record is thought to be incorrect, just that it is not 100% proven or there is some doubt. Many county rarities get to be seen by many observers and an increasing proportion are now photographed, and the committee generally accepts such records

    Todd Gutterman - President Greetings, everyone! Welcome to the 2021 Minnesota Selects Hockey Festival! I want to acknowledge the events of the past 18 months. We have all faced many unforeseen challenges, both within and beyond the hockey world. For the safety of everyone involved, the Minnesota Selects Executive Board made the difficult decisions to cancel the 2020 Festival and delay the 2021 Festival until now. While the dates have changed for this year, players and fans will still enjoy many of the features that have made our Festival great since its debut in 1989: * No gate fee. * High-quality jerseys with player names lettered on the back. * Saturday’s Skills Competition (a fan fave!) with prizes. * Sunday’s awards program, including individual player recognition and a strong focus on recognizing our student athletes. * The college-level program with a complete history of the Festival’s participants. * A weekend of great competition, excitement, and fun! On behalf of Minnesota Selects, I want to thank our 680 players and the coaches, families, friends, and volunteers for all the time, planning, and commitment it takes to make our tournament the success that it is and always has been. It’s been a long wait, but we are excited to be back for our 33rd year!

  • Hungary & Transylvania
    Although we had many exciting birds, the ‘Bird of the trip’ was Wallcreeper in 2015. (János Oláh) HUNGARY & TRANSYLVANIA 14 – 23 MAY 2015 LEADER: JÁNOS OLÁH Central and Eastern Europe has a great variety of bird species including lots of special ones but at the same time also offers a fantastic variety of different habitats and scenery as well as the long and exciting history of the area. Birdquest has operated tours to Hungary since 1991, being one of the few pioneers to enter the eastern block. The tour itinerary has been changed a few times but nowadays the combination of Hungary and Transylvania seems to be a settled and well established one and offers an amazing list of European birds. This tour is a very good introduction to birders visiting Europe for the first time but also offers some difficult-to-see birds for those who birded the continent before. We had several tour highlights on this recent tour but certainly the displaying Great Bustards, a majestic pair of Eastern Imperial Eagle, the mighty Saker, the handsome Red-footed Falcon, a hunting Peregrine, the shy Capercaillie, the elusive Little Crake and Corncrake, the enigmatic Ural Owl, the declining White-backed Woodpecker, the skulking River and Barred Warblers, a rare Sombre Tit, which was a write-in, the fluty Red-breasted and Collared Flycatchers and the stunning Wallcreeper will be long remembered. We recorded a total of 214 species on this short tour, which is a respectable tally for Europe. Amongst these we had 18 species of raptors, 6 species of owls, 9 species of woodpeckers and 15 species of warblers seen! Our mammal highlight was undoubtedly the superb views of Carpathian Brown Bears of which we saw ten on a single afternoon! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Hungary & Transylvania 2015 www.birdquest-tours.com We also had a nice overview of the different habitats of a Carpathian transect from the Great Hungarian Plain through the deciduous woodlands of the Carpathian foothills to the higher conifer-covered mountains.

  • Environmental Baseline Report PDF 642 KB
    July 2013 Local Flood Risk Management Strategy Strategic Environmental Assessment Scoping Report – Environmental Baseline Report 1 Local Flood Risk Management Strategy SEA Environmental Baseline The collection and review of baseline information is a crucial part of the SEA process. It is essential to gather sufficient baseline information on the current and likely future state of the environment in order to be able to adequately predict and assess the significant effects of a plan. The data collected to characterise the evidence base for the SEA of the strategy has been derived from numerous secondary sources and no new investigations or surveys have been undertaken as part of the scoping process. The information presented in this Scoping Report represents an outline of the evidence base by environmental topics. It may be necessary to collect further data against which to assess the potential environmental effects of the LFRMS with regard to monitoring requirements. 2 1 Introduction 1.1 The Borough of Bury is located in the North West of England, situated within the Greater Manchester metropolitan area. As an integral part of Greater Manchester, Bury has an important role to play in accommodating the spatial priorities for the North West region. Bury also has strong links with parts of Lancashire located, towards the north, via the M66 corridor and Irwell Valley. Bury is bounded to the south by the authorities of Manchester and Salford, to the east by Rochdale, to the west by Bolton and to the north by Rossendale and Blackburn and Darwen. 1.2 Bury benefits from good transport links with the rest of Greater Manchester and beyond, which has led to the Borough’s attractiveness as a commuter area.
