Easily viewed from adjacent landscapes, particularly the elevated chalk escarpment. • Open and expansive arable fields, with a mosaic of smaller scale paddock and pasture fields interspersed. • Linear belts of Poplar trees act as shelter belts and are frequently found close to farmsteads. • A low density and dispersed settlement pattern comprising scattered farmsteads and small hamlets. • Parliamentary field enclosures create a strong geometric landscape pattern accentuated by a network of dense hedgerows. A strongly uniform and simple landscape character. • Rural roads and smaller winding lanes, bordered by rough grass verges and tall hedgerows. Ditches occasionally run along road sides. • A dense network of public footpaths and bridleways, including long distance footpaths. • Long views across open fields to a wooded or open skyline, with important views stretching towards the Chiltern escarpment. • Sense of tranquillity and calm, and an overall rural character.

    Pearl-bordered Fritillary Andrew Cornick 1st in UK Butterflies category Overall winner Marbled Whites Nigel Kiteley 1st in Previous Winners category Once again we are at the point where we review what’s gone and look ahead to the opportunities of the coming year. Our winter work (2015/16) with Network Rail extended the breeding area for the Duke of Burgundy (at one of its three remaining Chiltern sites) and subsequently we found evidence of larval damage to cowslips there. Further work occurred this winter on nearby private land and plans for more, with Network Rail and another local landowner, are progressing. Highways UK are instigating important work at the M40 Compensation Area (Bernwood), to assist the Black and Brown Hairstreak butterflies. Moth recording in Oxfordshire will benefit from a grant for recording equipment, as will the Dutch Elm Disease resistant Elm tree planting programme, which received a grant from South Bucks District Council as more landowners in Berkshire and south Bucks agree to have disease resistant trees added to their hedges. Butterfly recording continues to expand from members’ gardens and open access land onto larger areas of private land with the more owners granting access. There have been some internal changes. Marion Gillie left the committee (with our thanks for her more-than-three year’s service), while Peter Cuss and Lloyd Garvey joined it. Our new Field Trip officer, Dennis Dell, served up an excellent diary of visits and Vikki Rose, Oxfordshire’s new Moth Officer, showed her amazing enthusiasm at Members’ Day. Mike Wilkins (our transect Coordinator) won two National awards for his work in conservation and Sarah Meredith won external funding to continue her paid work with The Duke, concentrating on an area around the National Trust’s Bradenham re-introduction site.

Dave Ferguson sent the following news on 28th December: "At mid-day today, 28th December, a Small Tortoiseshell was flying around the ivy beside our kitchen window in Beaconsfield, Bucks. What with that and a Cowslip flowering in the garden it's a crazy winter." ~ 3rd December 2015 ~ Pete Thompson reported the following: "Yesterday afternoon (2nd December) I saw a single Peacock [butterfly] in my garden in Wyfold (South Oxon), after a sunny morning it had by then clouded over and the temperature was around 13C." ~ 20th November 2015 ~ Pete Thompson sent the following: "I spotted a Red Admiral today (18th November) in my garden in Wyfold (South Oxon), pretending to be a wind-tossed leaf, despite quite cool and very blustery conditions."
