Simon Taylor Has New BTO Role Board Update Amur Falcon — a First For No 63 - Summer 2017 Amur Falcon — a first for Cornwall Blog and photo by Steve Rogers On Thursday evening 6th July, west Cornwall birder Mark Wallace found the rarest bird of his career so far. A regular walk after tea down Bosisto Lane chanced upon the county's first ever Amur Falcon, a small falcon displaced thousands of miles from where it should be. After some discussion and checking of photos, the bird was identified as a first summer female (i.e. a young bird no more than a year old, aged by the heavy wear to the flight feathers and scapulars). The news was duly relayed and a few locals con- nected that evening. At first light on Friday (05.38) some 200 of the UK's keenest as- sembled for a sighting.

  • Report on the English Bathing Waters in Need Of
    Surfers Against Sewage Are Calling For A Review of the UK’s Bathing Water Sample Sites. Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) believe the weekly bathing water samples required by the EU Bathing Water Directive should be taken from the area of the bathing water that presents bathers and water users with the greatest source of pollution, if a significant amount of bathers and recreational water users can be expected to regularly use that are area of beach. Surfers Against Sewage are concerned that a number the UK’s designated bathing water sample spots around the UK do not provide a true guide to the water quality that a bather or water user might experience at our bathing waters. The implications are incredible concerning, as our widely promoted water quality results could be misleading the public about the potential health risk at a number of the UK’s bathing water. The Bathing Water Directive states (Art3.3) the monitoring point should be where most bathers are expected or the greatest risk of pollution is expected, according to the bathing water profile. In the UK Regulations (Schedule 4.1) Defra have transposed the obligation to locate the monitoring point where the most bathers are expected. This was part of the original transposition The European Commission’s Reference Document for the monitoring and assessment requirements of the revised Bathing Water Directive published August 2014 states: • A bathing water is not defined by its physical size. The length of its corresponding beach can vary between bathing waters and the distribution of bathers within a bathing water can be uneven.
