REPORT OF THE AUDITORS TO CORNWALL B1RDWATCHING AND PRESERVATION SOCIETY We have audited the above Balance Sheet and attached Income and Expenditure Account in accordance with approved auditing standards. In our opinion, the above Balance Sheet and attached Income and Expenditure Account give a true and fair view of the state of the Society's affairs at 31st December 1990, and of its surplus Income over Expenditure for the year then ended. Dated: 13 March 1991 Whitaker, Redfearn, Pappin & Co. Newquay Accountants 5 CHAIRMAN'S REPORT 1991 It is pleasing to report that the Society in its 60th year, is in a most healthy state. The Treasurer, Alan Reynolds reports that our financial position is most satisfactory, and that membership increasing steadily, is currently at over 900. Subscriptions have not increased for ten years, but he warned that if the proposed expenditure planned for the coming year takes place, the income over expenditure may be adverse, and an increase in subscriptions may be necessary. The fact that we have no paid officials, and that an enormous amount of work is done by members and officials on a voluntary basis, has been the life blood of the Society for so long. I sincerely hope this situation continues in the future, and we make steady progress. Briefly, looking back to the past in our Diamond Jubilee year, the inaugural meeting took place at the Museum in Truro on 17th January 1931. The president was Nancy, Lady Vyvyan of Trelowarren, and Col. Ryves was secretary. Although much of the early meetings was concerned with overhauling, and clarifying the rules, it is of note that the third item on the agenda dealt with 'plans for the preservation of the chough, and of rare birds in general'. The Society was ahead of its time in the matter of preservation, as early as 1933, the Committee discussed 'oil pollution of the sea'. Subsequently, letters were written to the Board of Trade, and other bodies, on the subject of 'the emission of oil from motor vessels'. At that time most of the movement around the coast, and ocean, was by coal burning vessles. I mentioned in my report last year, the fact that committee meetings were not signed until 1946, when meetings resumed. A great deal of work was carried out, and small disbursements were made from the Preservation Fund to preserve habitats, and to prevent illegal activities which were detrimental to bird life. It is sad to report the death of Rennie Bere, renowned naturalist, and long standing member of the Society. A full obituary appeared in the 'Daily Telegraph' outlining his work. In his book, 'Wildlife in Cornwall' he mentions the Reports of The Cornwall Bird-Watching and Preservation Society 'which serves so well the cause of conserving the County's superlative avifauna' Rennie was a most interesting man, and it was a pleasure to be in his company on-a field trip, his knowledge was extensive, and he was always ready to pass on his wisdom, and knowledge to all. During the year the committee was concerned about the state of the Walmsley Sanctuary, which, although improved since South West Water carried out work for us a few years ago, was still in need of further improvement. A sub-committee was formed, and approaches made to various bodies, regarding the possibility of obtaining grants. The National River Authority was interested, and in due course they agreed to undertake the work, at no cost to the Society, as a conservation project. When complete, this should help to retain water on the reserve, and improve the area. The total cost to the NRA is approximately £5,000. A full account of this matter appears in the Conservation Officers report. The Nova Scotia Bird Society sought a twining arrangement with us, and after their approach, a formal letter was sent by our President Sir Alan Dalton agreeing. A long delay in reply, brought a further letter, stating that they did not wish to proceed. This was disappointing, because work had been done by various committee members. It is possible that contact may continue on an 'ad hoc' basis. On a more positive note, Restormel Council asked if we wished to be involved with the twinning with Dithmarschen in Germany. I attended the twinning ceremony in March, and we hope we may have the pleasure of meeting with German ornithologists. 6 It is disappointing to report that the hide on the Camel at Tregunna was so badly vandalised, that it was necessary to dismantle it to avoid danger to the public. The North Cornwall Council have provided another hide on the site which is open to the public,and is of very strong construction. Dave Thomas, and Dave Lewis were both involved in the work as were other members, and their help is greatly appreciated. The Society will be building another hide at Tregonce Cliff nearer to Padstow, which will be for the sole use of members by means of a key. A Christmas Wildlife Quiz took place between two teams, one from the Cornwall Trust for Nature Conservation and one from the Society. The questions covered all subjects of wildlife of which birds were only one aspect. The questions were set by Roseanne Sparshott, who also acted as quiz mistress. I am pleased to report that we were close winners in a most interesting contest, and it indicates that most good birders are also good naturalists.

This will be such a disappointment to many venues around the county as we reach the peak summer months. Many indoor and outdoor events which were due to be held will now have been cancelled, and who knows how long it will be before groups of more than 6 people will be able to meet privately? Nevertheless, we have lots of great articles for you this month. Our Climate Emergency contributor has brought you a valuable insight into COP26, the UN Climate Change Conference and the important contributions that we in the Parish can make. We have news of an interesting visitor from Honolulu, and some very special nature reports from around the Parish.

Penzance, West Cornwall FREEHOLD At the head of the Cot Valley, a short walk to the cove and coast path, an extremely attractive double fronted detached, 4 bedroomed, former farmhouse, sympathetically restored in recent years, standing in extensive grounds of about ½ an acre including garaging and several granite barns. A very private home between the long sandy beach at Sennen and the magnificent Cape Cornwall headland, just a short drive from the facilities at St Just and Penzance. 2 Ref: LCAA7254 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: entrance hall, sitting room, lounge, dining room, kitchen. First Floor: galleried landing, 4 bedrooms, large bathroom. Outside: gated driveway parking and double garage. Various granite barns with potential. Beautiful long established garden with orchard, vegetable garden and various terraces. In all, about ½ an acre. DESCRIPTION Kelynack Manor Farmhouse is perfectly located at the head of the Cot Valley which descends down to a picturesque boulder strewn cove and the South West Coast Path, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The house enjoys great privacy within its extensive gardens which are dotted with historic outbuildings. The area is steeped in history with the manor of Kelynack mentioned in the Domesday Book and there is much history around the grounds including a very well preserved forge in one of the outbuildings. The house itself is extremely attractive with the south west facing principal façade being of granite double fronted appearance. It is made all the more beautiful as the roof was replaced about 14 years ago, the walls were repointed and bespoke double glazed sash windows were fitted throughout that perfectly match the character of the building.

The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.
