Please make the most of the better days, keep that shopping to a minimum and get out and enjoy the wonders of winter wildlife. The Christmas robin! Don’t forget, It’s not just birds that you are helping to protect by supporting the RSPB Wishing you all the very best for the remainder of the festive season and hoping that 2011 starts as you would wish. We‟ll see you again then, if not at Titchfield Haven later this month. Peter E. Hutchins Notices Mid-week Walks John Cahill recently organised two mid-week walks. The first, at Dinton Pastures Country Park, unfortunately attracted no attendees, the second, at Fleet Pond, however we have yet to hear about; possibly a bad sign unfortunately. Did you go? If yes, what did you see, who else was there, and, most importantly did you enjoy this mid week saunter? South Devon Long Weekend Trip Please be aware that if you have yet to book for this, it’s still possible to do so. Approaching 1/3 of the group have already booked for this latest long weekend away bird-watching, but more can be accommodated.

Peter & Alison North Wessex Farmland Bird Project (Seeks Keen Volunteer Bird Surveyors for 2011 and Onwards) An exciting new project on Farmland Birds has recently begun in the Berkshire and Hampshire Downs, and volunteer bird surveyors are being sought to survey farms in the area. The North Wessex Farmland Bird Project, funded jointly by the RSPB and Natural England, roughly covers the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in Hampshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire, with an aim of boosting numbers of farmland bird species. The area holds key populations of nationally declining farmland bird species, such as Corn Bunting, Grey Partridge and Lapwing, so it is important to maintain and increase numbers in this stronghold and help re-populate the surrounding countryside. Diane Nicolle is North Wessex Downs Farmland Bird Project Officer based at the NWD AONB office in Hungerford, and her role is to work with farmers and land managers in the area, encouraging them to enter or renew environmental stewardship (ES) schemes, choosing the management options that will provide most benefit to farmland birds. These need to provide the „Big 3‟ – nesting habitat, insects as summer food, and seed as winter food. As part of the project Diane is working closely with the Volunteer and Farmer Alliance scheme (V&FA), an RSPB initiative where farmers can have 3 or 4 free bird surveys carried out in one year on their farm. The farmer is then sent a laminated map of these results, with information about the birds found on the farm during the surveys. Andy Hay rspb-images.com Most farmers are very interested in the wildlife on their land, especially arable birds, and are keen to know more, so they appreciate the map whilst also hopefully gaining a positive impression of the RSPB, birders and nature conservationists in general. This can prove invaluable when Diane is building a new relationship with a farmer and encouraging him or her to choose ES options that provide most benefit for farmland birds and other arable wildlife. The map can also be used to support a farmer‟s 5 application to the competitive Higher Level Stewardship scheme, as one of the criteria is having certain species of farmland bird on or near the farm. Diane is keen to find volunteers living in or near to the North Wessex Downs AONB in Berks, Hants or Oxon who would like to get involved in V&FA by carrying out 3-4 surveys on a farm near their home in 2011 or years thereafter. Volunteers are placed on a list and matched to a local farm if there is one that has asked for a survey to be carried out. This does mean that there is no guarantee that a volunteer will be given a farm to survey straight away, but we try to match people up as soon as a suitable farm and volunteer become available. The surveys are carried out between April and June and results sent to the Regional V&FA Officer who produces the map and sends this and further information back to the farmer. If you are interested in becoming involved with the V&FA, or would like to know any more about the North Wessex Farmland Bird Project, please contact Diane, overleaf, on 01488 680452, or [email protected]. Volunteer & Farmer Alliance Frequently asked questions Q Can I claim expenses? A Yes. We will reimburse any expenses you incur whilst volunteering for the RSPB. The main cost is likely to be for travel, and you can claim travel expenses to and from your training session, as well as to and from your survey site. As from June 2008, the rate increased to 23p per mile. Please fill in the expenses form (Appendix 14) and return it to project staff. Q Can I submit the bird records to the BTO as roving records? A All the birds records are confidential except for the transfer of information that project staff undertake. We would appreciate it if you kept the records confidential. 6 Q What should I do if the farmer’s children want to go birdwatching with me? A Please do not take the farmer’s children with you while surveying. For your own protection, as well as for theirs, avoid being alone with young people, particularly one- to-one contact, and especially in isolated areas. For further information please read pages 11–14 of the volunteers’ booklet, contained in this pack. Q How many farms will I be surveying? A Usually you will be matched up with one farm on which you carry out three to four surveys. Every volunteer, or pair of volunteers, will survey a different farm. Q Will I survey the same farm next year? A No. Every year we have new farms that we plan to survey, so you will not be asked to re-visit the same farm.

  • Segar Stream River Itchen
    Segar Stream River Itchen An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – January 2011 1 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust advisory visit undertaken on the Segar Stream which is a carrier of the River Itchen in Hampshire. The advisory visit was undertaken at the request of the Portsmouth Services Fly Fishing Club which has been invited to lease the fishing rights. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Robin Bray, Anthony Kennett and Mark Kerr from the fishing club. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. 2. Catchment overview The River Itchen is considered to be one of the finest examples of a chalk river in Europe and one of the most famous brown trout (Salmo trutta) fisheries in the world. The river is designated as Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) (Appendix 1). The Itchen rises from the chalk aquifer to the east of Winchester where groundwater fed springs feed into three headwater streams; the Alre, the Candover and the Tichbourne, or Cheriton Stream. The streams converge near Alresford and flow south west, through the centre of Winchester and on to join the sea in Southampton. The river is characterised by a plethora of man-made channels, some dug to provide milling power, some to support the old Itchen Navigation canal and others to feed the network of water meadow carriers.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

  • Post-Medieval & Modern Berkshire & Hampshire
    POST MEDIEVAL AND MODERN (INDUSTRIAL, MILITARY, INSTITUTIONS AND DESIGNED LANDSCAPES) HAMPSHIRE AND BERKSHIRE David Hopkins November 2006 Introduction Hampshire. Hampshire is dominated by the chalk landscape which runs in a broad belt, east west, across the middle of the county. The northern edge runs through Pilot Hill and Basingstoke, the southern edge through Kings Somborne and Horndean. These are large, open and fertile landscapes dominated by agriculture. Agriculture is the principle force behind the character of the landscape and the evolution of the transport network and such industry as exists. There are large vistas, with nucleated villages, isolated farms and large extents of formal enclosure. Market towns developed linked by transport routes. Small scale processing using the water power available from streams was supported by, and eventually replaced by, growing industrialisation in some towns, usually those where modern transport (such as rail) allowed development. These towns expanded and changed in character, whilst other less well placed towns continue to retain their market town character. North and south of the chalk are bands of tertiary deposits, sands, gravels and clays. Less fertile and less easy to farm for much of their history they have been dominated by Royal Forest. Their release from forest and small scale nature of the agricultural development has lead to a medieval landscape, with dispersed settlement and common edge settlement with frequent small scale isolated farms. The geology does provide opportunities for extractive industry, and the cheapness of the land, and in the north the proximity to London, led to the establishment of military training areas, and parks and gardens developed by London’s new wealthy classes.
