Life 3 studies in the Blackwater and Highland Water sub-catchments found that glides tend be to the most common form of flow followed by riffles and runs. Pools (still water) are noticeably rare in modified reaches being replaced by glides or runs. Pools where they occur are usually found at meander bends apices. Cascades and small water falls also occur at the faces of debris dams. Channelisation tends to affect the flow type in that it reduces the number of pools. Dominant flow types for the Highland Water and Black Water are shown in Figure 10. It is probable that a similar pattern would be found in the other river catchments. 3.4.6 Bank & bed material Bank material is made up of clay, fines, sand and gravel.

    Maritime Natural Area: MIO. Whitstable to Geological Significance: Notable North Foreland (provisional) General geologicaVgeomorpholugicaIcharactcr: The Whitstable to North Foreland Maritime Natural Area has a varied coastline with relatively low-lying coast in thc cast rising to boulder clay and chalk cliffs towards the Isle of Thanet. Geological Htrtory: This coastline is characterised by the Cretaceous chalk of the Isle oTThanet bounded to the west by clays, silts and sands of the Lower ‘I’ertiary. Upper Cretaceous Santonian chalk (87-83 Ma) is exposed dipping gently to the west from Margatc to the eastern side of Herne Bay. Unconformably overlying the chalk is a sequence of Lower Tertiary scdiments which are exposed in I Ierne Bay; the Palaeocenc Thanet, Woolwicli and Oldhaven Formations overlain by the Eocene London Clay Formation. The Chalk was deposited by a shallow sea which covered much of Northwestern Europe towards the end of the Cretaceous. Sea lcvel fall was followed by the unconformabie deposition of Tertiary Palaeocene and Ikcene sedirnents. Dominantly marine in origin, these scdiments were deposited by a rising, but fluctuating sea, which covered much of Southeast England. Marine conditions were well established by the Eocene leading to the deposition ofthe i,ondon Clay Formation. Thc fossil fauna and flora from the Tertiary rocks indicates a gradually warming climate with sub-tropical conditions established by the Eocene. Subsequent uplilt (associated with the Alpine Orogeny) and resultant erosion removed much of the remaining Tertiary sediments, the next deposition occurring during the Pleistocene. Though not covercd by ice, the area was affectcd by periglacial erosion in a tundra-like environment during the last glaciation (Devensian).

  • 59 EDITORIAL. VOL. XVIII, Pt. 2, of the Proceedings Will Be Published In
    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS " 59 EDITORIAL. OL. XVIII, Pt. 2, of the Proceedings will be published in July, 1953. It is hoped that this volume, which will include Vreviews of books received since 1950, notes of Field Meetings, and a list of those periodicals on the H.F.C. exchange list, will bring the Proceedings up to date, e.g., up to the end of 1952. Material intended for publication should be sent to the Hon. Editor, 10 The Close, Winchester. CORRESPONDENCE. THE STEAM PLOUGH IN HAMPSHIRE. Mr. Frank Warren writes concerning Mr. FusselFs article (Vol. XVII, p. 286) : " Richard Stratton of Broad Hinton, and Salthrop, Wiltshire (who lies buried in Winchester Cemetery), bought in 1859 the first Fowler steam plough for use on his farms. His son, James Stratton, came to farm Chilcombe, Winchester, in 1866 and introduced steam ploughing to Hampshire." CORRECTION. In the article on Hampshire Drawings in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, published in the Hampshire' Field Club Proceedings, Vol. XVII, page 139, the reference to the manuscript album should be " Western MSS. 17,507." PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 71 SUBJECT SECRETARIES' REPORTS. BIOLOGICAL SECTION. Weather 1951. " Deplorable" seems to be the only suitable adjective to describe the meteorological setting of the year 1951. Only once in the whole year, on July 2nd, did the temperature reach 80°, and on 18th, 20th and 28th of that month 79°. The highest shade temperatures in any other months were 75'5° on April 25th, 75° on September 6th, 74° on two days in June, the 5th and 21st, and on August 1st.

    Bransbury Common (Sandersan, 1996~) An unusual site from which acid grassland has been recorded is Brmbury Common (SU4141). This is a calcareous, peaty flood plain site, with extensive base-rich fen meadows and associated calcicolous grassland (CG2c) on mound? of chalky gravel. Xn one part of the common the chalky gravel is replaced by flint gravel and the GG2 chalk grassland is replaced by incongruous stands of parched acid grassland (Uld) covering 2ha. The species present include four species on the provisional indicator list: Aira caryophyllea, Airu praecox, Aphanes inexspectatu and Koeleria macrantha but no spccies from Table 1. Summary of consultations with Local Team Conservation Oficers A management plan for the acid grasslands of the New Forest is to be produced in the next few years and there is therefore a need for research and survey of some aspects of these grasslands. In particular, research into the effects of the late cutting of Bracken is needed, This practice has been revived, with the litter composted for use in horticulture. The cutting has been very successful in increasing the habitat quality of the herb-rich bracken stands for the rare plants present, and in increasing the grazing value of the Bracken stands by preventing the build up of litter. The shade of the Bracken canopy prevents the parching of the grass sward beneath and provides an important grass resource in the latter part of the summer when the U1 grasslands have become parched. There is, however, a worry that the annual cutting of thc Bracken is too severe a regime for butterflies using the Bracken stands.

    272 HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB INSECTS IN HAMPSHIRE, 1933 By F. H. HAINES HE summer of 1933, remarkable for drought and the amount of long-continued sunshine and heat, reacted on insects, T especially Lepidoptera, on the whole favourably. Times of appearance were very early, migrants numerous, and species normally single or double-brooded often produced an extra brood. But many, such as dragonflies, were soon over. February was wet, April dry, but June had one very heavy storm here (1.59ms. in 24 hours). The absence of rain was particularly noticeable later in-the year : in August, November and December. Orthoptera (Earwigs, Cockroaches, Crickets and Grass­ hoppers). The species of Ectobia were abundant and early, as was Nemobius sylvestris F., and grasshoppers : Pholidoptera griseoaptera De G. in the New Forest in August, Metrioptera albopunctata Gz. near Ringwood, M. brachyptera L., Conocephalus dorsalis 'Latr., Meconema thalassinum De G. and Leptophyes punctatissima Bosc. in the Forest. Tetrix subulatus L. was common, and hibernated T. bipunctatus L. was met with here very early. Goytphocerus maculatus Thunb. was everywhere in the wild, dry places around through summer and autumn, its colour, as usual, varying endlessly with that of its surroundings. The large Mecostethus grossus L., not uncommon in the forest bogs, and usually on Linwood Bog, was strangely, conditions being so favourable, not found here this year. Omocestus rufipes Zett. was not nearly so common on the heath as was O. viridulus L. on the grass. It was still abundant, basking in the sun on the woodwork of the house here, and else­ where, late in October.

    The non-breeding status of the Little Egret in Britain A. J. Musgrove Mike Langman ABSTRACT The Little Egret Egretta garzetta, formerly a rare vagrant in Britain, has undergone a remarkable range expansion following a large influx in 1989, and at the end of 1990 it was removed from the list of species considered by the British Birds Rarities Committee. Single-site counts in excess of 100 were made in autumn 1995, with the first site count of more than 200 in autumn 1998.The Little Egret was confirmed as a new British breeding bird in 1996, and by 1999 at least 30 breeding pairs were recorded at a total of nine sites. This paper documents the change in the species’ non-breeding status in Britain. Using data from the Wetland Bird Survey, with supplementary counts from roost surveys and county bird reports, it is estimated that more than 1,650 Little Egrets were present in September 1999, over 40% of these between Swanage Bay, Dorset, and Pagham Harbour,West Sussex. A further increase in the British population is expected.The increase in Britain has been mirrored in adjacent areas of northwest Europe. 62 © British Birds 95 • February 2002 • 62-80 Non-breeding status of Little Egret ormerly a rare vagrant in Britain, the Palearctic, very few were reported in the nine- Little Egret Egretta garzetta has undergone teenth century and in the first half of the twen- Fa remarkable range expansion in recent tieth century.
