HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL REPORT 1977 281 EDITORIAL NOTE CLIMATICALLY 1977 followed the pattern of recent years with a merci­ ful winter, a rather chilly spring, and a warm summer. It has left us with the usual profit-and-loss account and the usual crop of those puzzles, as yet unsolved, which give savour to any pursuit. Why have Wrens been in short supply-1976 drought? Has the decline of the Turtle Dove any connection with the spread of the in­ vading 'Collared'? Why did the abundant Goldcrest fade out in 1976 and only partially recover in 1977? Why has the Sand Martin been at such a low ebb for years? Whence the local recovery of Redstart and Whitethroat? Why the notable success of the Canada Goose? Why the unprecedented number of Golden Plover? What caused the 1976 slump in Blue and Great Tits, their 1977 recovery and a decline of the Marsh Tit? The world would be a duller place if no problems were left unsolved. The Club's numbers now exceed 600, and an encouraging feature is that far more members have recorded and contributed notes than before. Here however .the Editor must implore members to send in their notes immediately the year is ended, and to send them to the Club's Recorder. When notes trickle in, to the Editor, after or during the main compilation, (a) the Recorder does not see them en route; (b) it doubles the work of the Editor; (c) sometimes justice cannot be done to the notes themselves; and (d) despite every care it is a prim­ ary source of slip-ups and incorrect details. Several rarities and semi-rarities are recorded. We have a Phal­ arope, a Water Pipit and a Bar-tailed Godwit; more than one Hoopoe has been watched; the Woodlark is on the list again; Grey Plover, Black Redstart, Hawfinch, Harrier, Gadwall, Twite, all appear in observations. Whether such exotics as a Trumpeter Finch and a Black Vulture are to be accepted as 'scalps' is doubtful and the issue lies with the Rarities Committee. The Editor's thanks are due to the Editorial Committee, Dr. C. W. Walker, Colonel H. Morrey Salmon, Mr. P. W. Hinde and Mr. A. J. Smith for their illuminating comments and criticisms. Should any Member require a list of members' names and addresses, a photostat copy may be obtained from the Secretary for 25p plus postage. T. R. H.

Results are as follows: Fledge 1976 1977 1977 Number of boxes 977 987 Occupied boxes 430 555 % boxes occupied 43.2% 56.2% Predated boxes 27 Desertion and l!atalities 25 Successful boxes 503 or 51 % Pied Flycatcher 62 121 611 Great Tit 130 160 967 Blue Tit 170 212 1272 Coal Tit 15 12 69 Marsh Tit 7 8 37 Redstart 4 1 Nuthatch 6 12 50 Wren 12 3 6 Others 23 26 Predation took place in 27 boxes from grey squirrels and Great Spotted Woodpeckers. The wet weather in early June accounted for the loss of a further 25 boxes where desertion took place. Luckily we were not affected by late frosts this year. The Pied Flycatchers, no doubt, had an easier migrating passage resulting in an increase in usage of the nest boxes. From the return 611 birds fledged as against 349 for 1976. CoMMENTS FROM RETURNS It is interesting to note that one box fell to the ground and the parents successfully brought off the brood. Plastic tube boxes appear to suffer from condensation. At the Gatley site one Pied Flycatcher box was taken over from Blue Tits; ultimately two Blue Tits and two Pied Flycatchers fledged successfully. On the same site one box contained five Great Tit eggs and three Blue Tit eggs. Finally four Great Tits and one Blue Tit fledged and were brought off by Blue Tit and Great Tit parents. G. W.

According to a narrative concerning the early years of Holy Trinity priory in Aldgate, London, known only from fifteenth-century manuscripts, Bernard prior of Dunstaple, John prior of Launde (Landa), Geoffrey de Clinton, the (king’s) chamberlain (Gaufridus camerarius de Clinton), and others named, witnessed the gift of the Cnihtengild in London to Holy Trinity in that year. It is unsurprising that the priors of two recently founded Augustinian houses should witness a gift to Holy Trinity, thought to be the first Augustinian house in England. Their names were presumably taken from a contemporary deed or other record which has not been preserved (Hodgett, Cartulary of Holy Trinity, 168, no. 871; R. R. Sharpe, Calendar of Letter Books, C, 220). The king’s confirmation of the gift, 000, Regesta 1467, also witnessed by Geoffrey de Clinton, is apparently authentic and datable 1123 × 1127, so the narrative’s date of 1125 may well be accurate. Launde priory was founded at Loddington, ‘in cuius territorio abbatia fundata est’, according to Henry II’s general confirmation of 1155 × 1158 (H2/1456).

  • Place Shaping
    4.0 Place Shaping Introduction 4.1 This section sets out proposals for: . Hereford . Bromyard . Kington . Ledbury . Leominster . Ross-on-Wye . Rural Areas 4.1.1 For each area policies and proposals are set out, including a range of broad locations where larger scale or strategic development is proposed. The Core Strategy does not identify specific development sites. For the purpose of the Core Strategy, a strategic location is generally defined as around 500 or above homes for Hereford, around 100 or above homes within the market towns or around 5 hectares or above for employment land. 4.2 Hereford The vision for Hereford 4.2.1 By 2031, Hereford will consist of healthy, safe, secure, low crime and sustainable communities with a wide range of homes and employment opportunities for all, which are well serviced by a range of community facilities, green infrastructure and public transport. The imbalance of housing types and income levels across Hereford, particularly within South Hereford, where there is a high concentration of affordable housing and income deprivation, will be addressed by providing a greater balance and mix of properties and employment opportunities across the city and at the urban extensions. 4.2.2 New communities and neighbourhoods will be successfully integrated with existing communities and the surrounding countryside. Residents will have greener environments and energy efficient homes which contribute to reducing the county’s carbon footprint. Education and community facilities will be provided within walking distance of residential areas. Developers will be encouraged to have early engagement and consultation with the community including the city/town/parish council.

EDITOR'S PREFACE. Owing to various circumstances the issue of the present Volume of Transactions has been unavoidably delayed, much to the regret of the Editorial Committee. The death of the late accomplished Editor, Dr. Cecil Moore, deprived the Club of the services of one whose long experience and extensive acquaintance with the subjects which engage the interests of its members made him a difficult man to follow, and some time elapsed before arrangements could be made to take up his work. A great quantity of matter, manuscript and printed, had accumulated in Dr. Moore's hands, and at his death was deposited in the Woolhope Library. To sift and prepare for the press what Dr. Moore had intended for publication has been necessarily a work of time, but it is hoped that the Volume now in the hands of members will justify the delay in publication, and prove not altogether unworthy of its predecessors. Owing to the size of the present Volume several interesting papers are held over to the next Volume. For the carefully prepared Index to the Volume the Club is indebted to Mr. Sledmere. V.

  • Draft Recommendations on the Future Electoral Arrangements for Herefordshire
    Draft recommendations on the future electoral arrangements for Herefordshire January 2001 LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND The Local Government Commission for England is an independent body set up by Parliament. Our task is to review and make recommendations to the Government on whether there should be changes to local authorities’ electoral arrangements. Members of the Commission are: Professor Malcolm Grant (Chairman) Professor Michael Clarke CBE (Deputy Chairman) Peter Brokenshire Kru Desai Pamela Gordon Robin Gray Robert Hughes CBE Barbara Stephens (Chief Executive) We are statutorily required to review periodically the electoral arrangements – such as the number of councillors representing electors in each area and the number and boundaries of wards and electoral divisions – of every principal local authority in England. In broad terms our objective is to ensure that the number of electors represented by each councillor in an area is as nearly as possible the same, taking into account local circumstances. We can recommend changes to ward boundaries, and the number of councillors and ward names. We can also make recommendations for change to the electoral arrangements of parish and town councils in the district. © Crown Copyright 2001 Applications for reproduction should be made to: Her Majesty’s Stationery Office Copyright Unit.
