Joy Vaughan DBWPS Secretary CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE It feels like only yesterday when I volunteered to take on the role as County Recorder following a conversation with the then County Recorder Mike Langman at the Rutland Bird Fair in 2002. Since then considerable water has flowed under the bridge. The Society has certainly changed with restructuring and a new constitution during my formative years with the Society. During my nearly ten years as a trustee the roles I have taken on have been challenging, but enjoyable, especially writing the county avifauna ‘The Birds of Devon’. I will certainly miss the buzz of an active organisation when my term of office expires in May. I sincerely believe the Society is in good shape and members can look forward in the near future to the publication of the Five Year Strategy, Risk Management Policy and later the Devon Atlas. The new website, referred to elsewhere in this edition of the Harrier, is well under construction and should be operational before the end of the summer. May I finally thank my fellow trustees and officers, past and present, and members of the Society who have supported me over the years. I wish my successor the very best in an exciting time for the Society. Mike Tyler 2 ADDITION TO THE 2010 DEVON BIRD REPORT The Plymouth Alpine Swift was present on 22 May 2010. Mike Tyler OLDEST MEMBER PASSES AWAY It’s with sadness that we have recently learned that Mrs Mary (MC) Higgins passed away in early February. She was born in 1909 and at 102 years old, was our oldest member. She joined the Society on the 1st January 1956 and spent her later years at Bishopsteignton House, Forder Lane, Bishopsteignton. Sadly, it was only at the beginning of 2011 that her age and long service was realised. Appropriately, the Society immediately bestowed Life Membership on her, but, it’s sad that she wasn’t able to take much advantage of it. Paul Stubbs Membership Secretary NEW WEBSITE The DBWPS website was successfully launched in 2008 and for two years it provided news of Society activities and meetings, a photo gallery, interesting articles on bird identification and sightings as well as Society history and many other features. Sadly for the last year or more the DBWPS website has been largely inactive due to the non-availability of the technical support it needs to post new information. Recognising this was unacceptable the Society has been investigating the best way to solve this problem. Over the last few months a small group of Council members have been comparing tenders to renew and rebuild the website with an easier to use content management system. In December 2011 Council chose a new company and work is well underway developing a fresh and new, easy to use website. The new website will provide a bird news blog, up-to-date news about Society activities, much more information on our hides and reserves, an on-line shop for books, clothes, Reports and buying membership and many other features you would expect on a County Bird website including a facility to upload your bird photos to share with other members. We are planning to have it up and running by July and we will be going into more detail in the next Harrier in June. Watch this space! George Harris Vice Chairman DIRECT DEBITS Although you can still pay your subscription fees in any way you choose, the option of setting up a Direct Debit is now available. If you’re interested in doing this, then please contact the Honorary Treasurer, Paul Stubbs, on 01822 890520 or [email protected] 3 HOUSE MARTIN RECORDS For many years some members have been recording the House Martins in their towns and villages and sending the details to Eileen Marsh. We would still like people to continue sending their records in but in future please send them to me at the address below and they will now be added to the database. If you already send in other records please add the House Martin records to your spreadsheet or paper records. If you can include the date first seen as well as the number of nests/broods and if possible your last sighting for the year that would be helpful too. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Eileen for the many years she has supported this project. If you have any queries regarding sending in records please contact: Julia Harris, Data Manager T: 01822 853785 E: [email protected] 6 Clonway, Yelverton, Devon, PL20 6EG SLAPTON BITTERN During March, I received an e-mail from Mark Collier (formerly at the BTO and now involved with ornithological radar and GPS data logger projects in the Netherlands) about a Bittern with a GPS data logger attached. The bird was caught in N Holland on 25th May 2011 and was both metal and colour-ringed and had a data-logger attached. It was one of two recorded back in N Holland on 19th March 2012 when antennae were being set up in readiness for fieldwork on birds returning this spring. The GPS data recorded on the data logger was downloaded and showed that this bird was registered at six different sites throughout the UK and was mostly at Slapton where it was first recorded on 5th Dec 2011 and stayed for up to 84 days. This is almost certainly the bird I personally had typically brief sightings of at Slapton Bridge on 27th and 29th December 2011 and 22nd Jan 2012 and which other observers saw during it's stay. The track of the bird during it's winter sojurn to the UK can be found on http://www.roerdomp.info/ followed by "Anneke" on the right hand side. Data from each registration can then be obtained by clicking on the Bittern icon at each location. The approximate route was N Sea (22/10/11 after 150 days); Belmont Res, NW of Bolton (30/10/11 - 7 days later); A water depot on the N Wales coast (1/11/11 - a day later); Anglesey (5/11/11 - 4 days later); SLAPTON (5/12/11 - 29 days later) and London (possibly The Lee Valley NR or The Wetlands Trust at Barnes) (29/2/12 - 84 days later) before being recorded as an early arrival back in the Netherlands (19/3/12 - 18 days later). This is the first evidence that Bittern seen over-wintering at Slapton come from Holland although it has been long-suspected that this or N France may be the origin of these birds. To get a track of its route to and from Slapton with this amount of detail was totally unexpected. Dennis Elphick, Slapton Ringing Group 4 VELATOR RESERVE RINGING REPORT FOR 2011 The beginning of 2011 saw the snow and ice of December finally melt away. Sadly this also meant that most of the Thrushes that had been using the reserve as a refuge also disappeared. The first session of the year saw a Great Spotted Woodpecker, a Treecreeper, 5 Reed Buntings, 4 Bramblings and a mix of other finches. The 21 st January may have been a cold day – the Thrushes were back! I ringed 2 Song Thrushes, 8 Redwings, a Blackbird and the first (and only as it turned out) Fieldfare. February/March proved to be good for Reed Bunting, with 18 ringed.

  • Devon Historic Churches Day the Worlingtons Were Wonderful
    Devon Historic Churches Day The Worlingtons were wonderful – again….. Steve Baber led The Charge again, supported so superbly by our Churchwardens Patrick Brook and Ray Bassingthwaighte with Michael Wall venturing into ‘Outer Limits’ all to raise funds for our Devon churches. There is clearly something very special about living in Worlington that gives so many of our residents the energy to go the extra mile for so many good causes – and for the many who have supported them with sponsorship for their endeavours. As County Organiser I was ‘out and about’ (by car of course!) with visits to various churches. Each year I choose a different area of the county and this year most of it was spent in Cadbury Deanery – starting with an 8am visit to Kennerleigh Church – then Sandford and Crediton before spending time with churches in central Exeter which were taking part in their annual Pilgrimage – the highlight of which was at the Cathedral where Bishop Martin Shaw entertained us amusingly as always over some splendid refreshments. Back on the road for me, with a visit to Cheriton Fitzpaine, Stockleigh English, Wolfardisworthy, Morchard Bishop and Lapford before crossing the border into the South Molton Deanery to visit Chulmleigh where they were not only held a coffee morning but also in the afternoon some exciting abseiling from the church tower. I then visited Chawleigh before returning to our Worlingtons. Altogether a most rewarding day, giving me the opportunity to meet good folk in each location and discuss the challenges they had with maintaining their churches – but everyone I met was happy and supportive - despite the heavy showers.

This Mid Devon Infrastructure Plan is part of the council’s delivery strategy for implementing this requirement, initially forming part of the evidence base for the Mid Devon Local Development Framework, Mid Devon Infrastructure Plan in particular the Allocations and Infrastructure Development Plan Document. It takes account of the strategic planning framework set out in the Regional Spatial Strategy for the South West and the adopted Mid Devon Core Strategy. Policy COR1 of the Core Strategy sets out the basis for creation of sustainable communities, and the provision of infrastructure forms one of the key planks in that work. Core Strategy Policy COR8 gives guidance on the role of planning and development in that provision, making it clear that development and infrastructure planning should be co-ordinated, and that there is a role for development to contribute to the cost of new or improved infrastructure. 1.2 The Mid Devon Infrastructure Plan sets out the following: • What infrastructure improvements will support the additional development in Mid Devon, when these are likely to be required and who will provide them. • What resources will be required for these improvements, and whether these are likely to be available to infrastructure providers.

It has been working hard to address the shortage of affordable housing within a predominantly rural area. The area covered by the project displays an extreme disparity between incomes and house prices, which makes it hard for many to gain any secure footing within the housing market. The Rural Housing Project is designed to help promote and deliver affordable rural housing strategically across the project area and helps deliver Exmoor National Park housing policies within the park. This is being achieved by helping educate people about affordable rural housing, providing help and advice, carrying out research at a parish level to assess the affordable housing need and bringing together the community and various partners to help deliver housing where it is needed. One of the tasks for the project is to work with the Parish Council and the local community to assist them in carrying out a Housing Needs Survey in order to identify whether there is a need
