The new season, in our new home in Llandaff begins with the Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, 2nd October, at 7 p.m. At the meeting our President, Michael Sullivan, will hand over to the new President, Joan Andrews, who will serve for the next two years, to Autumn 2004. All meetings thereafter, as advertised in the programme card, will begin at 7.30pm in Lecture Theatre EO.O2 (see E Block on site map). The first lecture meeting of the programme is on Wednesday, l6th October, when Belinda Ashong, a Ranger with the Glamorgan Heritage Coast will talk about her work with the Heritage Coast, which she knows well from her l5 years experience as a Ranger. On Thursday, 3lst October, Dr. David Thomas, until recently a lecturer in Zoology at the School of Biosciences at Cardiff University, has given his talk the intriguing title “Out of Africa there is always something new”. He was born in Kenya, and still runs an immensely popular annual field course there on Tropical Ecology. Thursday, l4th November, is the date when Joan Andrews will give her Presidential Address. The subject matter will pick up from earlier lectures given to the Society over 100 years ago. Vaughan Grantham has recently come to Cardiff as County Ecologist after a career in conservation since the l980’s. He previously worked with the Ecology Unit of Greater Manchester. He will be accompanied at our meeting by Melissa Moore, who is now Biodiversity Officer with Cardiff Council after working at Jersey Zoo. They will compare their experiences with the situation in urban ecology in Cardiff. Their visit is on Wednesday 27 November. As always our autumn programme will be completed by the Christmas Special meeting on Wednesday 11th December, hosted by our President. More details will appear in the December newsletter. I hope there is something of interest to everyone in this first half of the meetings programme. We will resume after the Christmas Holiday on Thursday 9th January 2003. Details will appear in the December newsletter. Margaret Leishman, Indoor Meeting Secretary. NEW VENUE The Indoor Meetings, starting with the AGM on Wednesday 2nd October will all be at our new venue on the Llandaff Campus of UWIC.

Please meet outside the visitors centre.{SS882842} Sunday 6th October. Fungus Foray - Castle Coch. Start time 10.30 am Packed lunch. Teifon Davies of the Glamorgan Fungus Group will once again lead our annual fungus foray. Meet at the entrance to Castle Coch at the base of the castle ramp.{ST133828} Parking either in the castle carpark or in the streets opposite the carpark entrance. The foray will last all day probably going into the Wenault in the afternoon unless the castle woodland is teeming with fungi! Sunday 13th October. Sennybridge Army Ranges. Start time 10.30 am. Lunch provided. As a follow up to the excellent talk given by Lt. Col. Pat Butler and Clive Thomas last January we are to be guests of the British Army for a guided tour of the Army Ranges in the Brecon Beacons.

Saturday 2nd November. Llandegfedd Reservoir. Start time 10.00 am. Packed lunch. This large reservoir in east Gwent is generally good for wintering wildfowl and has a number of hides. We shall expect to be out all day if the weather holds and possibly go onto some other birdwatching sites in the area. Hopefully we shall be guided in the early part of the day which will give us extra access to hides. Please meet at the southern most carpark off the minor road from Pontypool towards Coed-y-paen.{ST328985} Sunday 12th January. Cardiff Birdwatch. Start time 9.00 am. Packed lunch. Rob Nottage will be our leader for our first field meeting of 2003, on our now annual birdwatch around local sites. As usual the meeting place will be in Wild Gardens Road at the top of Roath Park and will start with a walk around the lake. We will then move to other sites dependant upon weather conditions - we were very glad of the hide at Forest Farm last year and had some good bird sightings also. For all field trips it is expected that members will have read and agree to comply with the Field Meetings Safety code a copy of which is included in this newsletter. The Field Meetings Co-ordinator will also have a copy on the day. As always it is useful to know who is coming on the trips including car trips so that lifts can be arranged for those in need.

Garden BirdWatchers needed to monitor Woodpeckers The British Trust for Ornithology needs more volunteers to help monitor the changing fortunes of garden birds in Wales. Birds like the Great Spotted Woodpecker are among the more striking visitors to Welsh bird tables and researchers need to find out how these wonderful birds make use of gardens and the food that people provide. The British Trust for Ornithology’s Garden BirdWatch project, which runs throughout the year, has been monitoring the changing status of garden birds in Wales since 1995.

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 10.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

Introduction A significant amount of academic research has been carried out into the geology and mineral extraction industries of the Mendip Hills but most is not easily accessible or appropriate to the general public. Where there has been interpretation of the geology and related themes it has been fragmented and inconsistent in design and quality. In some cases site information has become dated and needs replacing. Through a number of meetings and consultation events, coordinated by the Mendip Hills AONB Unit, a variety of bodies including community groups, conservation organisations and local authorities have identified what is now known as the Mendip Rocks! Project and for which funding will be sought. The Mendip Rocks! Project aims to promote better understanding of the Mendip Hills geology and the resulting landscape, biodiversity and human history that has taken place, by engaging people in a wide range of activities. The location of the Mendip Rocks! Project is the Mendip Hills taking in both the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and National Character Area (NCA) 141, a landscape extending from the Bristol Channel in the west to Frome in the east. 2 2.

  • Walk 3: Berrow Beach Circular
    Walk 3: Berrow Beach Circular Length: 2 ¼ miles / 3.5 km or longer Good for: All walkers Theme: Beach, Nature Duration: 2 ½ hours Notes: This walk is tidal - please check tide times before setting off. Berrow is part of one of Europe’s longest strips of sand and there are dunes which growing rarer. They occur when sand, dried out at low tide, is blown inland and forms mounds that become anchored by grass growing on them. Points of interest: • St Mary’s Church • Sand dunes • Steep Holm and Flat Holm • Brean Down Fort • Film sets (many filmmakers have used this beach as a backdrop) Map: Directions: The path starts at the car park of St Mary’s Church, Berrow (1), this 13th century church nestles amongst the sand dunes. In the past, it was whitewashed and acted as a beacon for sailors. Now it is usually open during the day and once inside you can admire the beautiful stain glass windows. On summer weekends cream teas are available in the afternoon. From here head south and cross the sleeper bridge, follow the footpath for a short distance until you come to a junction of paths. Turn right and follow the public bridleway and signs for the beach until you reach the beach (2). The view opens up to Steep Holm, an uninhabited island in the middle of the Bristol Channel that is home to the only wild peony in the UK. It is said the plant might have been introduced, for its medicinal properties, by the monks living on the island in the 13th century.
