  • 1 Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 Papers, Printed Copies of the Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 Are Available Alongside the Electronic Report
    THORNE MOORS VERTEBRATES REPORT 2013 Compiled by Martin Limbert, Bryan P. Wainwright and Steve Hiner 2014 CONTENTS Introduction Reptiles 2009–12 (with additions and corrections 2007–08) Working paper on deer List of observers and acknowledgements Species monitoring The establishment of Black-necked Grebe Recording in 2013 by Martin Limbert Birds Marsh Harriers 1990–2003 by Martin Limbert Mammals Black-headed Gull ringing: first instalment of results by Martin Limbert Reptiles A review of fish in Swinefleet Warping Drain Amphibians by Martin Limbert Fish New or additional literature sources Additions and corrections 2008–12 (excluding reptiles) INTRODUCTION 1. Scope of the report. The Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 is an unusually long report, not least because it continues the process of making Thorne Moors vertebrates recording as up-to-date as possible. Thus the Report contains elements beyond the routine 2013 components. Also, notice is given of a working paper on the deer of Thorne Moors, published separately in May 2014. Ever since 2012, an attempt has been made to catch up with backlogs of records and monitoring. This overall process began in the Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2012, and continues in the current Report. The last Report to include reptile data was that for 2008. The Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 catches up by detailing additional reptile records for 2007–08 and all reptile records 2009–12. The recorder is Steve Hiner. The present Report otherwise contains accounts of birds, mammals, herptiles and fish in 2013. Also, available additions and corrections to the Reports for 2008–12 (excluding reptiles) are listed in full.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA 1.1 Physical process level 1.1.1 Classification One of the youngest natural coastlines of England is the Holderness Coast, a 61 km long stretch of low glacial drift cliffs 3m to 35m in height. The Holderness coast stretches from Flamborough Head in the north to Spurn Head in the south. The Holderness coast mainly exists of soft glacial drift cliffs, which have been cut back up to 200 m in the last century. On the softer sediment, the crumbling cliffs are fronted by beach-mantled abrasion ramps that decline gradually to a smoothed sea floor. The Holderness coast is a macro-tidal coast, according to the scoping study the classification of the coast is: 2. Soft rock coasts High and low glacial sea cliffs 1.1.2 Geology About a million years ago the Yorkshire coastline was a line of chalk cliffs almost 32 km west of where it now is. During the Pleistocene Ice Age (18,000 years ago) deposits of glacial till (soft boulder clay) were built up against these cliffs to form the new coastline. The boulder clay consists of about 72% mud, 27% sand and 1% boulders and large Fig.

The Grues 3.9ha of reedbed with Phragmites australis. The Lagoons 0.98ha of reedbed with Phragmites australis. Upper Humber North Bank 96.24ha of reedbed with Phragmites australis. Upper Humber South Bank 186.19ha of reedbed with Phragmites australis. North Lincolnshire Coast 0.4ha of reedbed with Phragmites australis. Saltfleetby / Theddlethorpe 1.01ha of reedbed with Phragmites australis. Key Sites: Blacktoft, Faxfleet, Broomfleet Island, Whitton Sand, Barton & Barrow Clay Pits, Dawson City Clay Pits in Lincolnshire, Donna Nook, Northcoates Point. Summary Status: • There are 378 hectares of reed communities within the Humber Estuary and North Lincolnshire coast. • Extensive reedbed habitats in the middle to upper Humber support breeding populations of priority conservation species of bird. Description Reedbeds are wetlands dominated by the common reed Phragmites australis. They contain few plant species and the water level remains above or at ground level all year. The UK contains around 5000ha of reedbeds, of which 400ha can be accounted for in Yorkshire and the Humber Estuary (Selman et al 1999). Only about 50 UK sites cover more than 20 ha, but these make a large contribution to the total area. Distribution within the Humber Reedbeds are an important feature of the Humber predominantly encountered throughout the inner estuary where large reedbeds are located at Blacktoft, Faxfleet-Broomfleet Island, Whitton Sand and the Barton and Barrow Clay Pits complex, as well as smaller stands lining the banks of the tidal rivers and the estuary.

  • Breweries Public House Breweries East Street Brewery at Kilham
    Breweries The once numerous local breweries in East Yorkshire have long since vanished, with only a few remaining. Two hundred years ago, in almost every village there was a common brewer, or brewing victualler, producing beer for local customers. At the beginning of the 18th century, the ‘brewing victualler’ made most of the beer sold. He bought malted barley locally and hops from travelling agents And produced enough beer for his customers, and maybe one or two other public houses. Later the title changed to the ‘common brewer’ when they were able by law to sell beer only to other publicans and private customers. The end of the 19th century saw the takeover of small breweries unable to compete with the larger ones. This led to ‘branches’ or agencies being used far away from the main home base, and the old site being used as a depot. The small brewer had virtually disappeared. Public House Breweries The breweries in public houses were small, with simple equipment. This was usually a one-quarter plant, designated in the traditional manner by the quantity of malted barley used in each brew. A five-quarter plant was able to mash five quarters (i.e. 5 x 28Ib) of malt per brew, producing 27 ¾ barrels (1 barrel = 36 imperial gallons) of bitter. The brewing skill was passed from generation to generation. Boys were apprenticed to other brewers or with their own kin. Brewing victuallers often combined other skills, as brewing was a seasonal activity. Robert Sanders of Leven was victualler, brewer, maltster, coal merchant, corn miller and vet at The New Inn.
