Once again we have had an incredible number of records to sift through in order to provide an accurate summary of the year’s birding in this edition, a task that has been made more manageable by the number of birders and naturalists willing to take on some of the load. Our thanks goes to them for the many hours of diligent work they’ve put in. We were delighted to welcome Tim Vaughan to the writing team this year. If you would like to help writing the species accounts or would like to contribute an article, please get in touch with the editor as soon as possible. Thanks goes to all those who sent in their comments, corrections and additions to the Lancashire ‘avifauna’. These are published in this report and are available as a downloadable pdf on the Society’s website. Further comments on the text are very welcome and should be sent to Steve White. Atlas surveys of wintering and breeding birds We are now half way through the four years of the BTO and Lancashire wintering and breeding birds surveys and are making good progress. More than 590 of the county’s 938 tetrads have been completed during the winters of 2007/08 and 2008/09 and breeding season coverage is not far behind. More than 150000 records have been amassed so far. About 150 tetrads have yet to be allocated to surveyors, most of them in the east of the county. If you haven’t signed up to do your bit yet, then please consider doing so – the surveys still have two years to run. If just a fraction of the county’s birders did one tetrad each year, we would easily meet our target. But even if you can’t manage the formal survey, please keep submitting records to the bird report in as much detail as possible – including those of common species – all records will be incorporated into the atlases. Dragonfly survey 2008 was yet another wet summer that wasn’t conducive to recording. However we still continue to collect the data you send us and by the end of next year should have enough to analyse. 2008’s results are summarised in a separate article in this report. Lancashire & Cheshire Fauna Society: Membership Membership of the Lancashire and Cheshire Fauna Society is still just £10 per annum – this includes a copy of the Lancashire Bird Report and any General Reports published. Members taking the Cheshire Bird Report as well pay £17. The Society is a non‐profit making charity, run totally by volunteers who give many hours of their time freely. It provides data that are key in many aspects of conservation in the North West – we are regularly asked for our opinion on developments that may have an ecological impact or for information regarding areas of the county that need protection. We work closely in association with the Lancashire Wildlife Trust, RSPB and BTO and many members are active in those organisations. So if you aren’t already a member, please consider joining us and supporting the work we do. Details can be obtained from the web site or directly from the Honorary Secretary.

A short cold snap during the first week and a drier spell towards the end of the month but generally very wet throughout. The first day of the year found the regular male Green‐Winged Teal showing well from the Sandgrounders hide at Marshside; another was seen at Stocks Reservoir at the end of the month. The hordes of Wigeon and Teal in the county also attracted a male American Wigeon to Martin Mere from the 12th. Another popular find was a confiding Slavonian Grebe on Barrow Lower Lodge, Whalley; first found on the 13th it continued to delight visitors until 19th February. Gull‐watching often comes to the fore this month and intensive searching located a first‐ winter Caspian Gull at Fishmoor Reservoir on the 17th. Whilst gulls, waders and wildfowl always grab the attention, important survey work in Lancaster & District revealed 978 Blackbirds across all squares. February A dry and very sunny month, with above average mean temperatures. In past years the occurrence of Ring‐necked Parakeets in the county have been somewhat erratic. Six seen at Lytham Crematorium this month stayed on throughout the year, suggesting they could get established as a breeding species. Feeding garden birds provides great pleasure to many observers and occasionally it turns up an unexpected bonus. A cracking male Common Rosefinch found in a Longridge garden on the 9th was a great example of that. Another surprise came in the form of an adult Night Heron at Mere Sands Wood from the 12th. Always a good find in the county the early date and some plumage details generated a lot of debate around its origins. The presence of a Chough at Warton Quarry on 19th proved to be a regular occurrence, with the bird regularly roosting in a crevice on the cliff face. Occasionally it was found during the day feeding between Silverdale and Bolton‐le‐Sands. March Temperatures and sunshine generally a little above average. Rainfall was well above average. The occasional sightings of Cetti’s Warbler in the county are concentrated at Leighton Moss and Marton Mere so one present at Fleetwood Marsh Nature Park from the 25th was particularly noteworthy. Great excitement came on the last day of the month with the discovery of an adult Ross’s Gull at Marton Mere. This beautiful and charismatic bird showed sublimely all afternoon but left some latecomers disappointed. That disappointment turned to joy when it was relocated on the 18th on the Lytham shoreline at Granny’s Bay. It stayed in this area for a further month being admired by a multitude of observers. Lancashire Bird Report 2008 5 April The coldest April since 2001 with heavy rainfall. One of the highlights of spring migration is the regular passage of Ospreys through the county. This year was particularly good with as many as 40 individuals delighting observers. Twelve bird‐days at Brockholes Wetland and ten at Stocks Reservoir were the best counts. An influx of Cattle Egrets resulted in a sighting at Eccleston, St. Helens on the 5th and this was followed later in the year by four more records of six birds. The continental feel continued with a splendid male White‐spotted Bluethroat at Aldcliffe Marsh from the 8th. The first Yellow Wagtail of the year at Seaforth on the

August 2016 1. Introduction This study forms part of the evidence base for the Wyre Local Plan. It details research undertaken by the Wyre council planning policy team into the role and function of the borough’s settlements, describing why this work has been undertaken, the methodology used and the results. Understanding the nature of different settlements and the relative roles they can play is critical to developing and delivering local plan strategy and individual policies. With this in mind, the aim of this Settlement Study is two-fold. First, to establish a baseline position in terms of understanding the level of economic and social infrastructure present in each settlement and how this might influence the appropriate nature and scale of development. It will provide evidence for discussions with stakeholders and developers about the nature of supporting infrastructure needed to ensure that future development is sustainable. Second, to identify, analyse and rank the borough’s settlements according to a range of indicators, and by doing so to inform the definition of the local plan settlement hierarchy (see Section 3 below).

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Pendle Hill Walk
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Pendle Hill Walk From Barley Starting point and OS Grid reference Barley village – “honesty box” car park Ordnance Survey map OS Explorer OL41 Forest of Bowland and Ribblesdale. Distance 9.2 miles (or 5 miles for the reduced walk) Traffic light rating (or shorter walk see text) Introduction: Pendle Hill is one of the most visited Lancashire walks. The hill has a distinctive shape and if you have ever looked south from a Yorkshire Dales vantage point and wondered “what is that hill”, the chances are it was Pendle. This Pendle Hill walk is useful in that it can be treated as a straightforward 5 mile walk of the hill itself or extended if time/weather/inclination permit. The shorter option goes via the green dotted route shown on the sketch map. This is an alternative route to my Pendle Hill from Downham walk. The walk starts from the pretty village of Barley and takes a route via one of the Black Moss Reservoirs, rather than heading in the conventional direction straight for the hill. The way chosen up the hill is the steepest but takes you first to its northern end from where there are good views towards the Yorkshire Dales. Along the top, there are good views across the Forest of Pendle. The descent brings you down by Ogden Reservoirs from where you have the shorter option of an easy one mile walk along the track back to Barley. However, on the day I did the walk, the decision was to extend it to take in Newchurch in Pendle with its pretty church and along a higher part of the Forest of Pendle to Roughlee.
