Fourth Report FOURTH REPORT OF The Cornwall Bird Watching and Preservation Society. 1934. Edited by B. H. RYVES and G. H. HARVEY. The Annual Meeting was held at Truro on 12th February. Lady Vyvyan, in the unavoidable absence of the President, Lady Vivian, being voted to the chair. Lady Vivian had intimated that she desired to relinguish the Presidency and Lady Vyvyan was elected in her place. The Honorary Treasurer and the Joint Honorary Secretaries were re-elected en bloc. Pursuant to Rule 6, Lady Vyvyan and Major Williams retired from the Executive Committee, Lady Vivian and Mr. Polwhele being elected to fill the vacancies. Miss Waltpn Evans was elected an additional member of the Committee and the name of Mr. J. Melrose Macmillan was further proposed and, as he was not present, it was agreed that he be asked if he would be willing to serve. This he subsequently agreed to do. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the Annual Report for 1933 and the Treasurer's Account, expressed pleasure at the satisfactory progress of the Society during the year. Members were reminded that the Secretaries had acquired a stock of an admirable Summary of the Wild Birds Protection Acts, compiled by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. These are available to any member at the cost price of sixpence a copy. Several Members present volunteered to take part in the Spring Migration Scheme under the auspices of the Western Morning News, referred to on page 3 of the Annual 2 Report of 1933. Later, more Members offered to take part in it. The Western Morning News has kindly presented to the Society reprints of the four articles written in the journal by Mr. E. W. Hendy. These articles record the results of the interesting observations made and the knowledge secured. A copy of these reprints is available gratis to any Member on application to the Secretaries. The following alteration in the latter part of Rule 5 was agreed to:—" Any Member who both signs the declaration form and pays the first subscription after September 30 in any year shall not be liable to pay a further subscription until the close of the following year." Mr. A. C. Polwhele again kindly consented to act as Honorary Auditor of the Accounts for 1933. The Meeting terminated with an interesting discussion, in which a number of the Members present joined, on various bird observations they had made. The Second General Meeting was held at Truro on 23rd October, the President in the chair. Lt.-Col. Ryves recounted certain happenings in the spring in connection with the raiding of Ravens' nests on the North coast of the County by a gang of egg-collectors from up- country who regrettably received local assistance. Full details of the raid are recorded in the Minutes of the Executive Committee meeting held in May. The Society had taken rapid action in the hope of lessening the risk of further raids on later nesting birds by issuing posters, covering the coast from St. Agnes to Morwenstow, offering a reward of £10 for information leading to the conviction of any offenders. It was further reported to this meeting that the Society had made a presentation of gifts to two farmers' wives in appreciation of their prompt action in giving information which resulted in the saving of a Chough's nest from robbery. Happily, the up-country raiders did not make a second appearance during the nesting season. The reward was not claimed. A lengthy discussion ensued in regard to the Society's attitude towards the proposed Bill for the total abolition of the Steel Trap, which is promoted by the University 3 of London Animal Welfare Society and strongly supported by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The Society, being a Bird Protection Society, was logically bound to back the Bill, quite apart from the fact that the Steel Trap was a blot on civilisation. This trap was responsible for the distruction annually of a large number of birds, and had undoubtedly been a factor in the deplorable status to-day of the Chough in Cornwall. It was unanimously decided that the Society should support the Bill and inform its promoters of its support. A hope was expressed that Mr. J. L. Palmer, on receipt of a complimentary copy of this Report, might see his way to assist towards the passing of the Bill by drawing attention to it in the Western Morning News. Besides the discussions to back the Bill, the meeting urged all members and their friends to try to persuade trappers to cover their " gins " during the day. The President announced that the Society had forwarded a cheque of £2 2s. Od. to the Devon Bird Watching and Preservation Society as a donation towards the purchase of the Wembury Reefs bird Sanctuary. This was received with acclamation. Dr. R. H. Blair again entertained the meeting with his delightful " cine-snaps." Major Gill very kindly lent his apparatus and worked the lantern. Those present owe a debt of gratitude both to Dr. Blair and Major Gill, not forgetting the ready assistance given by Mr. G. Penrose, the Curator of the Museum. The Executive Committee held three meetings during the year, namely, on 12th February, 16th May and 15th September. ****** MEMBERSHIP.

  • Marazion to Porthleven
    Pure Cornwall’s favourite South West Coastal walk to Porthleven MARAZION TO PORTHLEVEN Length: 11 miles (17km) Grading: Moderate to strenuous Much of this walk through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers fantastic views of Mounts Bay and the magical island and castle of St Michael’s Mount. Fairly easy, level walking allows time to enjoy the views, until the Path begins to narrow and rollercoaster over the cliffs up to and beyond Praa Sands. The stretch on the approach to the pretty fishing village of Porthleven is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Highlights along the path: The ancient market town of Marazion, with its very active community of painters and potters. There has been a settlement here since 308BC and the town claims to be the oldest in Britain, and could be the settlement known to the Romans as Ictis. Views of St Michael’s Mount. Once a Benedictine Priory, a fortress and tin mining port, it can be accessed by a causeway at low tide or a ferry. Perranuthnoe: this fairly undeveloped village, which may actually date back to Roman times, has an interesting church dedicated to St. Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall. Look out for the Norman font and Norman stone heads surrounding the doorway. After a rest on the sandy beach, you may also want to pay a visit to the Victoria Inn which is reputed to be the oldest recorded inn in Cornwall, dating back to the 12th century. Prussia Cove: the headquarters of the famous smuggler John Carter and now the base for the masterclasses of the International Musician’s Seminar.

    20th October 2020 MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF SANCREED PARISH COUNCIL HELD VIRTUALLY VIA ZOOM ON 20TH OCTOBER 2020 AT 7.30PM COUNCILLORS PRESENT Councillors Mr Ian Soulsby (Chairman), Mrs Hilary Harris, Mr Stuart Thomas, Mr Ivor James and Mr Michael Harvey. ALSO PRESENT Mrs Alexis Male (clerk) and seven members of the public, five of whom were candidates for co- option. 21-43 APOLOGIES No apologies were required. However, the clerk explained to councillors that she had missed the apology that had been sent by the then Councillor Sue Freeman for the August meeting and requested that the councillors now considered it. It was agreed to accept the apology. 21-44 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST There were no declarations of interest. 21-45 PUBLIC SPEAKING • A member of the public gave their objections to Planning Application No PA20/07993. The councillors had received these prior to the meeting so it was unnecessary for him to repeat them but he did point out that there had been a late amendment, the buildings having been turned through one hundred and eighty degrees meaning that the parking now exited onto an unadopted lane which would cause aggravation to the residents living along it. • Councillors were informed by another member of the public that South West Water had agreed to put up signs against overnight camping. However, there was no legal reason not to park there. • Another member of the public requested it be clarified whether apologies given were a reason for not attending a meeting. The Chairman said that this had already been explained but the member of the public wanted it be made clear at the meeting so the clerk told her that an apology was given as a courtesy but that the councillor was still absent.

As part of the regular monitoring programme of the SAC, I and some volunteers from Cornwall Wildlife Trust (to whom I say a big thank you for all your efforts) came down to the Helford on the good boat EVA on the 17th July to see how the seagrass was getting on and to see if it had spread into the adjacent moorings. Although the weather was not perfect and the visibility not good, the team were able to carry out three transect swims measuring the percentage cover of the plants, makeup of the seabed and were also able to map the edges of the bed. Preliminary analysis of the data show that the seagrass is in good health and that the extent has not changed significantly from the previous survey. However, there is some evidence that the seagrass has spread slightly westwards and isolated clumps can now be found in and around the moorings. I hope that we will be able to repeat this study next and subsequent years and also include some more detailed work on both the health of the seagrass and a more accurate survey of the density and individual plant length of the grass on the Helford.

  • Ambience Transport Interchange
    Due to the curve of the harbour and railway area there is plenty of opportunity for views of the backdrop as described in the Landscape and Setting section, and there are views from the north across the sea of parked cars to ships masts and the bottom of the Barbican area. From the south end the views are more fragmented, with the backs of properties on Market Jew Street, the Wharfside development and railway station all lost in a melee of cars, signs and traffic signals. The view of the Abbey Basin, although compromised by signs, some modern railings, poles and landscaping schemes, is one of the best known in Penzance, immortalised by Stanhope Forbes. Ambience Near to Wharfside and the bus & railway stations road traffic dominates, while at the southern end there is the added factor of this being a working harbour, usually bustling with workmen, cranes, forklift trucks, deliveries and boat movements. While outside the new development at Wharfside pavements are wide, it is often an intimidating environment for pedestrians, who are confined along Wharf Road to a relatively narrow pavement. Even around the Wharfside area where attempts have been made by local businesses to provide pleasant outdoor areas to eat, this is spoilt by constant traffic fumes. On a quiet day, though, there is opportunity to enjoy the historic structures, buildings and boats of the working harbour and the rhythm created by the tide. In the season the inner harbour, always kept with water, is host to visiting tall ships, one of the major attractions of the area.
