  • Report 2018 Summary.Pages
    The Annual Report of the Bradford Ornithological Group 2018 Bradfordbirding.org 1 The Bradford Ornithological Group 2018 Report Report Production Editor: Paul King Author: Keith Moir Records Collation: Keith Allen with assistance from Shaun Radcliffe and Paul King Photographs Front Cover: Brian Vickers Others: As individually credited Editorial This, the 32nd Annual Report, was composed from the 17,500 records submitted by over 100 birders. Without such dedication and attention to detail, we would not be able to record satisfactorily the presence of birds in our recording area. To everyone that supported our efforts, I give my thanks. Probably the year’s outstanding visitor was an Iberian Chiffchaff, a first for West Yorkshire, which spent three weeks trying to attract a mate at Norwood Edge. Other birds making a welcome, if infrequent, appearance included Red-throated Diver, Curlew Sandpiper, Glaucous Gull, White-fronted Goose, Brent Goose and Sandwich Tern. A total of over 16,000 Pink-footed Geese and an exceptional 19 Ospreys, crossed the region on their spring and autumn journeys. At Tong Park, Baildon, the build-up of Gadwall reached an impressive 23 in November, and amazingly, Barn Owl has progressed from no sightings in 2006, to be our most recorded owl! Water levels were severely affected during a long hot summer, and as a consequence, waders were more frequently seen, with Ruff, Sanderling, Turnstone and the aforementioned Curlew Sandpiper, being the pick. Herring Gull numbers have increased four-fold in just three years, but a strong showing is not the case with Pochard, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Yellowhammer and Twite, which are just about hanging-on.

  • Storms of More Or Less Violence Occurred in Many Parts of the British Isles on June 3Rd, 1908
    Downloaded from http://pygs.lyellcollection.org/ at University of St Andrews on June 15, 2015 383 SOME EFFECTS OF THE STORM OF JUNE 3RD, 1908, ON BARBED FELL. BY ALBERT CILLIGAN, B.Sc. (Read \2ih November, 1908. MS. received 30tk November, 1908.) Storms of more or less violence occurred in many parts of the British Isles on June 3rd, 1908. The West of Yorkshire seems to have been unfortunate in being the neighbourhood where the greatest downpour of rain took place, and conse• quently suffered more destruction than any other district. The stretch of country affected by the storm extends from Airedale to Swaledale, embracing in its path four watersheds. Much havoc was wrought throughout the whole area, but the special district with which it is proposed to deal is that of Barden Fell. The highest point of the hill, near the Upper Barden Reservoir, is 1,661 feet above sea level. The hill is drained normally by a number of becks, which flow radially from its summit, the chief of which are Barden Beck and Gill Beck on the east ; Loburn Gill and Moor Beck, which join to form Embsay Beck, on the south ; while on the west there are Fell Gill, Waterfall Gill, and Red Gill, tributaries of Eller Beck (see Map, Fig. 1). These streams all run down scarp slopes of the Kinderscout Grit, of which the hill is composed, and have in consequence deep narrow channels, with many waterfalls, where they have encountered the beds of shale which are interbedded with the grit. I visited the district in the neighbourhood of Burnsall a few days after the storm, and explored the fell side, which is in the occupation of Mr.

  • Newsletter 106
    YAHS IHS Newsletter 106 YORKSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL & HISTORICAL SOCIETY INDUSTRIAL HISTORY SECTION NEWSLETTER 106 SUMMER 2019 EDITORIAL Welcome to the latest Newsletter and it’s the end of another lecture season. It has been a difficult season for me due to my ill health lasting between mid-September and late January and being affected by the death of my close friend and fellow Section Officer Robert Vickers. I am hoping that the forthcoming season will be an improvement for me over the last. The Section AGM was held on 13 April with 18 members present, I chaired the meeting as the then Vice Chair and thanked those who had kept the Section going. I produced my last Annual Report for the Section and a copy is enclosed with this Newsletter. The meeting made the decision to move to a position of sending the Newsletter in future electronically to members where they have given their email addresses but to allow hard copies to be sent to the rest and on request. This is an attempt to cut down on the expense of producing the Newsletter which is an important benefit by keeping in touch with members but is our biggest item of expenditure. A suggestion was made that members receiving a hard copy should be asked to contribute towards the cost of production and postage but no decision was made on that aspect, we will wait to see how the initial change works out. This change will follow the approach taken by the main Society with its new members’ newsletter called Briefing which is primarily distributed electronically.

They had a £455K grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Half was spent stabilizing the ruins in the Coppermines valley and round at Penny Rigg Mill (Tilberthwaite). The rest was spent on research, surveys and public information signs. As a result the mines site has now been taken off the 'At Risk Register'. It's all very impressive and well worth a look. Lots more information can be found at www.conistoncopper.co.uk There's an animated/CGI fly through of the mines site, as it would have appeared in its heyday, lots of material on the mines and miners and some field guides.

  • Report 2019 Copy.Pages
    Bradford Ornithological Group Annual Report 2019 Once again, excellent support makes this, the 33rd Annual Report, an outstanding example of local co-operation. The 17,500 records and a range of excellent images, submitted by over 100 birders, have enabled us to publish this document. We are greatly indebted to Keith Moir, who has, once more, brought all his knowledge and expertise to the task of interpreting the data. Amongst the dozen or so species which caught the eye during 2019 were a Caspian Gull, which arrived with a full personal history, only our second record of an Avocet, and a Great White Egret, which was seen by many who walked the Leeds-Liverpool canal. Two Arctic Skuas crossed the country in April, a Kittiwake landed at Fly Flatts, a Hooded Crow appeared in the Washburn and a Knot was seen passing Soil Hill. These were amongst the most spectacular records, and although there was plenty of news of common birds, there was very little about their breeding habits. We therefore make a special request to include as much information as possible about this aspect of behaviour. It is something that adds considerably to the further understanding of birds and provides us all with a more in-depth knowledge of the species. The quieter summer months are an ideal time to watch and record these events. As I explained in the last Report, the BOG website has grown to include a wealth of information which makes use of over 30 years’ data. In addition to suggesting locations to visit and species to study, there are monthly reports and articles from local birders.

When that first tentative gathering of birders met in a Bradford College classroom in 1987, none could foresee that from such an inauspicious start would be developed the well-respected and authoritative Group of which we are a part today. A camaraderie blossomed and knowledge was shared through a simple (by today’s standards) communication system. There followed the acquisition of land at Stockbridge for our very own nature reserve and access to Thornton Moor Reservoir, Esholt and Marley Sewage Works was granted by Yorkshire Water. A six-monthly publication and website were launched, and the !1 new technologies were harnessed to enable the Group to communicate with its members. Through our monthly meetings we were able to inform and enthuse the growing membership with talks given by visiting speakers and occasionally from our own knowledgable colleagues. And so to 2016 and the latest Report, in which you will find details of 180 species compiled from 19,000 records contributed by 58 individuals and two organisations (Calderdale Birders and Wharfedale Naturalists’ Society).
