BAILlIE HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL REPORT, 1973 115 EDITORIAL NOTE The photograph facing this page is of Mr. R. H. Baillie, whose retirement from the Secretaryship and Committee leaves one of those gaps which can never be quite filled. Bob Baillie has been a dedicated bird-watcher from boyhood; had oriental experience for years in Burma; was a founder-member of the Club in 1951; was Editor from the word "go" until a few years ago, and became Secretary in 1958­ until 1972. But that is a mere catalogue, and it is his personality that will be missed, his scrupulous accuracy and professional judgement, his humour and his knowledgeable willingness to help any less expert or less experienced member. Fortunately he remains as one of our Vice­ presidents, and the Club will always owe him a deep debt and wishes him all good fortune and complete recovery of health. Climatically the main feature of 1973 was drought. Much of Herefordshire, with an average rainfall of about 29 inches, recorded only some 17. Winter was again easy, with the result that non- migrants have in many cases done well~Long-tailed-tits,Goldcrest, Green Wood­ pecker (despite elm disease), Grey Wagtail; and the predators seem to have fared moderately. Some of the migrants however are less flour­ ishing-Whitethroat still down, Redstart, Sedge Warbler and Yellow Wagtail receding; Sand Martin at lowest level. Yet Warblers such as Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler and Blackcap keep up their numbers. How account for it? Different routes of migration, with different hazards from Mediterranean man's predation and the vagaries of wea,ther? Drought south of the Sahara and loss of usual winter habitat? It remains mysterious and any evidence or theories are welcome. There are no first records in 1973, but a number of scarce species seen-Spotted Redshank, Hobby, Red-backed Shrike, Harrier, Black Redstart and Hawfinch. There is no Woodlark resurgence, but Night­ jar is still on the map, Comcrake heard, and our little colony of Corn Buntings holds on. PUBLICATIONS. Copies ·of "Herefordshire Birds" (1954) by Captain H. A. Gilbert and Dr. C. W. Walker; "Birds of Radnorshire" (1955) by G. C. S. Ingram and Colonel Morrey Salmon; and the majority of the Club's annual reports may be obtained from the Secre­ tary at 25 pence a copy, which includes postage. The FINANCIAL POSITION of the Club remains sound and a summary is included at the end of this Report. For the first time the Club's numbers have just topped 500. 116 HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL REPORT, 1973 FIELD MEETINGS were held at Bredwardine (twice); Wigmore (twice); Bircher and Croft; Leach Pool, CIifIord; Haugh Wood (four); Kingsland; Dinmore; Westhope; Checkley; Holme Lacy School of Agriculture; HindweH (twice); Beulah; MoeIienydd; FeIindre; Bwch-y­ Sarnau; Ynys Hir Reserve; and visits were also organized to Skomer Island; to the Severn Estuary; and to the Gower Coast. INDOOR MEETINGS, in addition to the Annual General Meet­ ing, included a Members' Meeting; a "Question Time"; Birds of St. Kilda, by Charles Chessire; Countryside Sounds, bV Ray Goodwin; Conservation, by John Workman; and R.S.P.B. Reserve, Ynys Hir, by W. M. Condry. Wildfowl Trust films were also shown at The Town Hall on Oct. 10th, and R.S.P.B. films on Nov. 14th. Our THANKS are due to all Members whose records make poss­ ible this Report; to all leaders of Club Outings and providers of indoor entertainment, and to the Editorial Committee who do the exacting job of 'vetting' the Report itself, Dr. C. W. Walker, Mr. P. W. Hinde, M.B.O.V., Mr. A. J. Smith and our Secretary, Mrs. J. M. Bromley. Our thanks (and admiration) also go to Mr. H. McSweeney for the fine Heron study which forms the frontispiece to this number, and to Mr. F. D. Blackburn for his excellent RedpoH picture. T. R. H. OWEN. HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL REPORT, 1973 117 RINGING REPORT. 1973 Three Herefordshire Ringers-Mrs. S. H. Robbins, Mr. O. C. Cundale and Dr. D. O. Boddington-have got nest-box notes at various sites, each site being a part of the Nest-box Scheme referred to else­ where in the Report. Four of these are primarily Pied Flycatcher study areas, and hold 117 boxes; and three, with 44 boxes, are in areas where trapping is carried out all the year, with Tit population under study.

  • The Military Orders in Wales and the Welsh March in the Middle Ages1
    The Military Orders in Wales and the Welsh March in the Middle Ages In the later medieval centuries the Hospitallers’ estates in Wales were among the most extensive of any religious corporation there. In 1535, just before the dissolution of the monasteries, the commandery at Slebech was the third richest monastic house in Wales, after the Cistercian abbeys at Tintern and Valle Crucis. The next richest house after Slebech was another Cistercian house, Margam Abbey, © Copyrighted Material followed by the Benedictine priory at Abergavenny. by comparison with other Hospitaller houses in England and Wales. In 1338 it received the largest income of any Hospitaller house in England and Wales, apart Chapter 16 from the main house at Clerkenwell just outside London, fourth highest net value of the Hospitallers’ twenty-two houses in England and Wales, after Clerkenwell, Buckland and Ribston. we might expect the Hospitallers to have held great authority and power in Wales, and their Welsh property to have been very significant within the Order.

This NDP has been identified as requiring AA due to the neighbourhood area being within the hydrological catchment of the River Frome. A previous Habitat Regulation Assessment has been undertaken on the Stretton Grandison Group Neighbourhood Plan dated August 2020, however recent advice and responses from Natural England is indicating that a Stage 2 Appropriate Assessment is required. This report addresses the Appropriate Assessment stage; outlines the task undertaken, the findings and recommendations to support the Stretton Grandison Group Neighbourhood Plan through to adoption. The Initial Screening report September 2015 found that the Neighbourhood Area is within the hydrological catchment of the River Frome SAC.

  • The Birds of Herefordshire 2015
    The Birds of Herefordshire 2015 Herefordshire Ornithological Club Annual Report Jackdaws and Hereford cattle at Much Marcle in March 2015 (Photo: Mick Colquhoun) Editorial This is the 65th annual report of the ‘Birds of Herefordshire’, the Herefordshire Ornithological Club’s (HOC) annual publication for 2015, which I hope you will enjoy reading. During the year a total of 172 species were recorded, summary details and highlights of which are presented in the systematic list section on pages 30 – 98, for which I wish to thank the species authors. An alphabetic index of species is included on pages 146 – 147 to help readers locate individual species information and a gazetteer of place names mentioned in the species accounts is provided on pages 142 – 145. The county list of species (now numbering 281) was boosted by the sighting of a Spotted Sandpiper, a county ‘first’, at Wellington Gravel Pits in May 2015 (see article on pages 28 – 29), and seven other rarities with 20 or fewer previous county records also made an appearance in Herefordshire during the year: Red-crested Pochard, Marsh Harrier, Turnstone, Temminck’s Stint, Red-necked Phalarope, Caspian Gull and Common Redpoll. A tremendous amount of effort has gone into validating the records of rarities on the county list during the past year and the review article on pages 12 – 18 makes enlightening reading and provides a definitive list and dates of sightings for all 94 rarity species with 20 or fewer records. The large increase in the number of bird records received in 2014, compared with previous years, continued in 2015 with a similar 46,000 records being utilised in compiling this annual report.
