A. G. FYSHE, C. J. BRECKN.E;LI" 14th Fehruary, 1959. Hon. 'freasuf<·r. 28th February, 1959. ;...,;;,,~~ HEREFOI{DSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB REPORT, 1958 233 1957 REPORT GENERAL. A cold spring, a wet summer and a wet and foggy autumn about sums up the year's weather. Despite this discouragement several interesting records were made such as a pair of Avocets and a Firecrest in Herefordshire and a great increase in Barn-Owls, a fresh irruption of Crossbills and several Hawfinch records. A flock of Snow-Buntings, the first to be recorded, was the main prize in Radnorshire; half a dozen Stonechats and one each of Sheld-Duck, Black Tern, Oystercatcher, Greenshank, White ''\Tagtail and some Blackgame were of local interest too, MEMBERSHIP. At 173, this shows a nett increase of eleven, which is satisfactory. It is with great regret that we have to record the death of Captain R. P. Chapman on January 4th, 1959. Though not widely known amongst members, he was a comparatively near neighbour of mine and was a man of great charm, with a delightful sense of quiet humour. Captured by the j apanese at the fall of Singapore in 1942, where he was in charge of the Dockyard, his health was undoubtedly undermined by three years near starvation while in their hands. ANJ\;UAL GEJ\;ERAL MEETING. This was held on April 19th and the chief changes amongst the Officers of the Committee were that Mr. A. G. Fyshe took over the Treas­ urership from Dr. B. E. Miles at the latter's resignation and the Editor took over the Secretaryship owing to the departure of Ml'. L. B. Robinson. 2:34 HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB REPORT, 1958 Several of our Field days were marred by the weather but we had some excellent indoor engagements which in­ cluded two splendid evening lectures from Mr. M. K. Swales on the Tristan da Cunha and Gough Islands Expeditions, the R.S.P.B. colour film "Highland Birds," at the Town Hall, Captain H. A. Gilbert's "Bird Watching in Hungary," Mr. J. H. Barrett's "The Birds of the Pembrokeshire Coast" and Dr. Bruce Campbell's "Bird Research as a Hobby." PUBLICATIONS. There are still stocks of Hereford­ shire Birds (1954), by Captain H. A. Gilbert and Dr. C. W. Walker (2/6) and Birds of Radnorshire (1955), by G. C. S. Ingram and Col. H. M. Salmon (3/6). Also back numbers of our Reports, but not Nos. 2 and 3, at 2/6 per copy. Postage 6d. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. Owing, alas, to trouble with his eyesight Mr. G. C. S. Ingram has felt compelled to resign from the Editorial Sub·Committee where he will be greatly missed as, ever since 1952, he has been most generous with his help. To him must go our grateful thanks. Colonel H. Morry Salmon has filled this vacancy and I am most grateful to him and the other Members of this Sub­ Committee, Messrs. C. J. Brecknell, P. W. Hinde and Dr. C. W. Walker for their help with this Report and also to Mr. T. R. H. Owen who has undertaken the bulk of the typing. Finally I would like to thank all those who have con­ tributed notes and material. R.H.B. H~:REFORnSHIRE ORNITHOLOGlf:AL f:Um REPORT, 1958 235 SPANISH KITES The .first pair of Kites released in July 1957 were last 1ieen about 10 miles from Rhulen in December. These birds were ringed. Neither of these rings has been returned so that it is possible that the birds are still alive. A pair of Kites was seen in June in the same district where the first pair was last reported. That obviously does not mean that these Kites were the Spanish pair. It is a mere possibility. In June 1958 another pair of young Kites arrived from Spain, they are now in excellent condition and will shortly be flying free. Both of them are ringed. H. A. GILBERT. THE COMMON CRANE (Megalornis grus), A HEREFORDSHIRE RECORD? In the chapter on the Crane in W. H. Hudson's "Rare, vanishing and lost British birds," H. E. Forrest's "Fauna of Shropshire" is given as the source of the statement that "one was shot on the Herefordshire border in 1859 by a farmer who, finding it described in the books as a "common" crane, gave the body to his waggoner, who cooked and ate it!" In the "Fauna of Shropshire" the particulars are given as follows: "Mr.

For generations animal husbandry and the farming of fruit, potatoes and hops have lent its lowland plain a rural charm and colour which vies for attention with the more dramatic uplands and gorges of the catchment periphery. Little wonder that much of the valley is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural beauty, or that its towns and villages swell with visitors during the spring and summer.

A drone is a piece of technology that flies in the air and you operate it from a remote controller. These days, as technology has progressed, it is unusual to find a drone without an inbuilt camera of some sort. Drones are getting cheaper and better, meaning they can almost fly themselves with intelligent flight functions such as ‘follow me’ and ‘return to home’ modes, making flying much easier. Drones have in the past been misused meaning regulations apply to owning one. You must have a licence to fly a drone and can only fly one under 250g in confined spaces which is what we had to do to take these pictures! Thanks to Julian and Challis Stokes for letting me take this photo from their garden to get this view of the church which has never been seen before.

Audrey Bott is continuing as Treasurer, Ron Shaw will continue to contribute Military research and a small group will continue with Parish Record transcription. Rhianon Turrell will continue with News from the Archives for the Parishioner, family history help and general research as needed. Nancy Morgan has also offered to be part of this group.

    October 2020 In this issue: All the news that fits: Yarpole Parish News 4 Yarpole Community Shop 6 Parish Footpaths Officers 9 Parish Hall Update 15 Camilla and Dave 17 End of Harvest - Carol Clare Edible mushrooms foraged in Mortimer Forest. Barbara Flaherty Jeanette Kinsey. Brier Art Studio. See p.31 2 Dear Readers, It seems just like yesterday that I was reading Hetty’s upbeat editorial. As I write this editorial I am listening to our Prime Minister explain that the new Covid restrictions for England could last six months. My recollection is that it was only recently that people were being encouraged to return to their place of work. Now we are advised, if we can, to work from home. Pubs, bars, and restaurants must close at 10pm. The rule of 6 has been accorded the force of law. Indoor sports, such as 5-a-side football, have been banned. Wedding celebrations are to be limited to 15 guests. One consolation, if it can be categorised as such, is that funerals can go ahead with up to 30 mourners. As I sit finishing the October edition of The Parishioner my computer tells me the UK has recorded 4,926 new coranvirus cases, the highest daily figure since May. On the positive side Police Chiefs have rejected the PM’s offer of military support. We are living through a perilous period of history. We need to help each other and prepare for the times that lie ahead. This is a responsibility that extends beyond Yarpole. Large numbers of us have friends and family living not just in the UK but across the world.

  • Yarpole Community Hub Questionnaire March 2021 SUMMARY of FINDINGS
    Yarpole Community Hub Questionnaire March 2021 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 1 Contents Demographics of the Yarpole Parish Background to the survey Analysis: About you Facility use The Community Shop The Gallery Café The Church The Parish Hall Volunteering Communication 2 Demographics of the Yarpole Parishes Yarpole Group of Parishes comprises of the two parishes of Croft with Yarpole and Lucton, and the hamlets of Bircher, Bicton and Cockgate. We are located mid-way between the market towns of Leominster and Ludlow (approximately 6 miles away). Hereford, the county town, lies some 18 miles to the south. The parish had a population of 787 in 2011. Our parish’s demographics reflect those of the wider County of Herefordshire – historically with an ageing population and lower average earnings than England and Wales as a whole. (In 2011, 33% of the population were aged 60 and over, compared to 18% nationally and at around £450 per week, average wages in the county are 13% lower than across the West Midlands and 18% lower than for England.) Our community falls within 5% of the most deprived areas of the UK in terms of isolation and geographical barriers to services (e.g. distance to schools, GPs, shops, etc.) and within the most deprived 7.5% in terms of living environment (e.g. condition of housing, availability of heating). As local services have decreased and amenities closed down around the country, it increasingly falls to rural communities to provide facilities, activities and services, which would not otherwise be available. We are proud that our community takes a proactive stance to improving our shared spaces.

There have been some minor changes to the allocation sites and settlement boundaries for Bircher and Yarpole. These changes were as a result of the representations to the draft consultation on the plan itself rather than the response to the HRA report consultation. However there were no changes to the overall vision and objectives of the existing planning policies. 2.0 Screening of draft NDP 2.1 Regulation 102 of the Habitats Regulations 2010 requires that a Screening Assessment be undertaken, in order to identify the ‘likely significant effects’ of an NDP.
