All contributions, from both residents and visitors to the county, in the form of records, papers, drawings and photographs are welcomed . All contributors are acknowledged in the report . These notes should assist you WHATif you wish RECORDS to contribute DO WE to WANT? the report . Due to the volume of records received, it is not possible to list every one in the report . The report is an edited summary of these records, aimed at highlighting the occurrence and status of each species in a particular year . All records, however, are valuable and are archived in the DBC database, managed through the Dorset Environmental Records Centre, where they can be accessed by groups or individuals for future studies . Please refer to ‘The Dorset List’, on pages 14 - 18, which lists the type of records requested for each species . Species requiring a full written description are marked with either (*) for national rarities, or (D) for birds which are rare or scarce in Dorset . Descriptions of national rarities will be forwarded to the British Birds Rarities Committee (BBRC), whilst records of locally rare or scarce birds will be assessed by the Dorset Records Panel (DRP) . The Dorset Records Panel reserves the right to request further information in order to assess records, if necessary . This may include records of species not usually requiring a full written description if they are, for example, reported from an unusual location or time of ANDyear . WHEREUnsubstantiated FROM? records will not be published . all Records are welcomed from parts of the county . There is a natural bias towards coastal sites and nature reserves as they are excellent places to see birds . Many of these sites produce their own reports, which are incorporated into the Dorset Bird Report . Records away from these sites are often thin on the ground, so ‘local patch’ records and casual recording from less well-watched areas are very important . These enable us to gain as full a picture as possible of what is happening to Dorset’s birds . Many national surveys are carried out annually in the county as part of a wider picture of the UK’s bird life . A copy of any Dorset results would be greatly appreciated – the information will be added to our HOWdatabase SHOULD . I SEND MY RECORDS IN? Casual records and descriptions of rare and scarce birds can be e-mailed to the DBC at the dorsetbirdclub@hotmailfollowing address: .com This is also the correct address to send any local patch bird reports to, as well as any completed DBC spreadsheets .

  • 112071 Newsletter Jan 2012
    RSPB SOUTH DORSET LOCAL GROUP NEWSLETTER No 60 January 2012 The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) is a registered charity: England and Wales no. 207076, Scotland no.SC037654 The RSPB speaks out for birds and wildlife, tackling the problems that threaten our environ- ment. Nature is amazing - help us keep it that way We belong to BirdLife International, the global partnership of bird conservation organizations . GROUP LEADERS COLUMN The indoor meetings programme this season has been notable for changes of speaker and there are further changes to come. The 15 th September meeting was to have been addressed by David Waters Chair of the Great Bustard Group. Andrew Taylor, formerly of Weymouth Wetlands now works for the Great Bustard Group and volunteered to give the talk becoming, I believe, the youngest speaker ever to address the group. At the second meeting Paul Buckley the Regional Conservation Manager at Exeter substituted for Dieter Hoffman and gave a talk on RSPB’s International Work. The November and December meetings went according to plan and hopefully the January and February 2012 meetings will also be as planned. The speakers for 15 th March, Rees Cox and 19 th April Nick Tomlinson have both had to cancel. After some thought I have offered the March 2012 date to a speaker I had originally hoped to book for March 2013 but I have yet to receive confirmation. We are also looking for a speaker from inside the group to give a short talk 45-60mins (max) after the AGM, any volunteers? After Bruce Painting left the committee at the last AGM I took on the Indoor Meetings Secretary’s role myself.

  • Debbie Tulett Portland Resident
    Ref: Planning application: WP/20/00692/DCC OBJECTION TO THE POWERFUEL PORTLAND LTD PLANNING APPLICATION THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE DORSET WASTE PLAN 2019 (Adopted December 2019) POLICY 18 Biodiversity and geological interest Natura 2000 Sites Proposals for waste management facilities must not adversely affect the integrity of European or Ramsar or other internationally designated sites, either alone or in combination with other plans and projects. Sites of national and local importance: Development which adversely affects a Site of Special Scientific Interest will not normally be permitted, except where the benefits of the development at the site clearly outweigh the impacts on the features of the site. Policies 1-6 of the DWP establish that the benefits of the development of the site clearly do not outweigh the impacts of the features of the site and that there is no ‘need’ for a waste incinerator at this location other than for personal financial gain. This proposed site not only abuts a SSSI and is within metres of a SAC, but within 10km of the site there are numerous conservation designations. Therefore this proposal is in breach of the Dorset Waste Plan 2019 Policy 18 OVERVIEW: The Isle of Portland is a magnificent place for birdwatching, known as one of the best in Britain and is renowned for its migratory birds and passing seabirds. Habitats include cliffs, old quarries, farmland, dense scrub, rough pasture, clumps of trees and residential gardens. Portland is one of the UK’s best-known birdwatching areas. The abundance of Portland’s wildlife is remarkable, as the unique beauty of Portland has various habitats supporting a diverse range of animals, birds and plants.

  • No 1 Wareham Camp
    Wareham in the First World War 1914-1918 No 1 Wareham Camp View of Wareham Camp from Worgret in 1915/16. The building left of centre is Robert Christmas House (then the workhouse), Arne Hill is in the centre, and the railway is in the cutting in the foreground. At the time of the outbreak of the war, Wareham was a small town of just over 2,000 people. The town was transformed during the war by the huge military camp built on the outskirts of the town, on both sides of the Worgret Road. It was known as Wareham Camp or Worgret Camp. Military training for units of the Territorial Army had taken place in the Wareham area for more than 50 years, because of the wide open spaces and easy access by train. These camps were tented, and temporary; the wartime Wareham Camp was built of wooden huts and existed for about eight years. Wareham was chosen as the site of a major camp in early September 1914, a month after Britain declared war on Germany. It was to be used as a base for training new recruits. The first arrivals were volunteers from Yorkshire, who had responded to Lord Kitchener’s famous call to sign up, “YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU.” Six hundred men arrived by train in Wareham to find that no preparations had been made for them. It was raining heavily and they were all soaked. Until tents arrived, they were accommodated in halls, churches, schools and private houses, and the townspeople provided blankets, food and cigarettes.

Core Strategy Preferred Options document This document will be made available in other languages, in large print or in the form of a radio transcription on request. Please telephone 01929 557339 if you need assistance with this document. Core Strategy Preferred Options document Foreword The Core Strategy will set out a vision for how Purbeck can create sustainable communities over the next 15-20 years. Its purpose is to proactively manage development and associated activities to make Purbeck a better place. It should identify the key assets of Purbeck which need protection, and take account of the aspiration of Purbeck’s residents so that development can better address their needs. It is important to recognise that new development, (whether new houses, employment uses, shops or other community facilities) will be an essential part of the equation. Undoubtedly development brings pressures and difficulties, but it can also help deliver our housing needs, help create a stronger economy, improve accessibility to shops and services, communication and health. The challenge for planning is to manage development and associated activities so that what is built meets the needs of present and future generations. Purbeck District Council is responsible for only a small amount of the activities that happen within the District, with other organisations in the public, private, and voluntary sectors providing many services.
