HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL REPORT 1982 59 THOMAS RICHARD HORNBY OWEN It is very sad to record the death of Mr. T.R.H. Owen, C.B.E., who was the Club Editor for many years until he relinquished this duty following publication of the 1981 Annual Report. Richard Owen joined the Club in the early 50's following his retirement from a distinguished career in the Sudan Political Service. He soon became very active in ornithological circles, and served the Club on the Editorial Committee from 1961, taking over the duties of Editor in 1967. He was an able and vigorous speaker, skilled in the art of entertaining an audience without bemusing them with too much science. His account of the efforts, during the building of the Kariba Dam, to save threatened animals, an operation under his organisation, will long be remembered by those lucky enough to be present. Prior to 1982 it was customary for the Annual Report to be produced in time for the A.G.M. in the spring ofthe year, and the need to meet this early dead-line had always been a heavy burden for the Editor. Happily Richard Owen's dedication and energy were more than equal to this task, and it was quite usual for the classified notes to be completed, typed, and ready for circulation to the Editorial Committee in about a fortnight. His failing health in recent years must have made this accomplishment an arduous task indeed, but his enthusiasm never diminished, and the publication date was always achieved. The value of his work for the Club is reflected in the quality of our Annual Reports, and it is only too apparent that we have every reason to be grateful. A.I. Smith. 60 HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL REPORT 1982 EDITORIAL The severe winter weather at the beginning of the year affected the local bird populations considerably, although a number of species which one would have expected to succumb, such as Heron, Barn Owl, Long-tailed Tit, Treecreeper, Dipper and Goldcrest, appeared to have survived remarkably well. The effects of the winter became all too apparent with the onset of the breeding season with many of our resident species reduced to minimal breeding pairs, particularly Kingfisher, Green Woodpecker, Great and Blue Tit, Wren, Grey Wagtail and Bullfmch. The summer migrants generally arrived on time and numbers were, on the whole, up to normal strength, but the winter migrants in the autumn and second winter period were very much reduced in numbers, especially Golden Plover, Fieldfare, Redwing and Siskin. Bramblings were conspicuous by their almost total absence. The year produced few 'rarities' but nevertheless a number of interesting species were recorded. Two Bitterns were found dead by the Lugg in January and eight Barnacle Geese were present at Eywood for several days at the end of March. A Little Gull at Moelienydd in August was a "first" for Radnorshire. Of two Hoopoes seen one at Holme Lacy in November was a particularly long-stayer and at least two Black Redstarts were noted during November and December. A Great Northern Diver at Llan Bwch-Llyn on Boxing Day was only the second record for Radnorshire - what a Christmas present for the two lucky observers! In this year;s Report the order of the Classified Notes has been changed from that previously used to that of Prof. K.H. Voous (1977, List of Recent Holarctic Bird Species) as published in the 'British Birds' "List of Birds of the Western Palearctic" 1978. Members may, at first, find this order confusing, but the change had to come about to conform with other publications of this nature. CLUB ACTIVITIES. Club outings were held during the year at Castleton, Ludlow, Talybont, Hoarwithy, Gower Coast, Llanbedr, Lyepole, Haugh Wood (twice), Fownhope (Nature Trust reserve), Cefndyrys, Eywood Pool (Dawn Chorus), Shucknall Hill, New Forest (Club weekend), Dinedor, Foy, Mortimer Forest, Llyn Hilyn, Elan Valley, Kentchurch, Llangunllo, Llandegfedd Reservoir, Chew Valley Reservoir, Black Mixen, Glasbury Wye, Severn Estuary and Shobdon. HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL REPORT 1982 61 Indoor meetings held in the Percival Hall, Hereford included a 'Members' night', and ftlms and talks by Roger Beck, 'An Ornithol­ ogist in Antarctica'; Dr. Stephanie Tyler, 'Grey Wagtails and Dippers'; Tony Prater, 'Waders'; Gerald Grifftths, 'Birdwatching in the Car­ margue'; M.C. Wilkes, 'Birds of the West Midlands'; Arthur Butler A.R.P.S., 'Natural History Photography'; Chris Mead, 'Birding in Belize and Texas'. Thanks go to all the speakers. The Club once again liaised with the RSPB in the showing of three new RSPB mms at the Town Hall, Hereford. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. The Club is indebted to Mr. and Mrs: P. Gardner for preparing and duplicating the Club Bulletins and to Mr. T. Davies for auditing the accounts. In addition, thanks go to all those who led Field Meetings, to the Editorial SulX::ommittee, Mr. P.W. Hinde, Dr. C.W. Walker, Mr. A.I. Smith and the Secretary, for their assistance and guidance and to Mr. Arthur Butler A.R.P.S. for his excellent photograph of the Little Ringed Plover. Finally thanks go to all those who have submitted notes and articles for this Report. A.

Our office on Builth Wells High Street also provides a focal point for volunteering and general information. We have a team of volunteers who provide services to the Builth Wells community and the surrounding area (see membership area below) These services include the Community Car Scheme, Monthly Outings and a Lunch Club, as well as others . Demand for these services continues to grow and each year we face a challenge to raise sufficient funds to meet demand. Community Support has three main funding sources: grants, donations and funds raised in our charity shop. With continuing reductions in statutory funding, each year we face a budget shortfall and have to raise money through donations, fundraising activities and the takings from our shop.

Hampton Bishop Parish has undertaken to prepare an NDP and this process has been subject to environmental appraisal pursuant to the SEA Directive. Hampton Bishop Parish is a small rural parish adjoining the western edge of the built up area of Hereford. There is no post office or shop within the parish. The Bunch of Carrots is the local pub. The Draft Hampton Bishop NDP includes 2 main objectives and it is intended that these objectives will be delivered by 11 criteria based planning policies; no site allocations are proposed here. The environmental appraisal of the Hampton Bishop NDP has been undertaken in line with the Environmental Assessment of Plan and Programmes Regulations 2004.

    WSA Water Quality Monitoring Update 10 Dec 2020

    WSA Water Quality Monitoring Update 10 Dec 2020 It is now nearly 6 months since we began sampling Phosphate (P) levels in the Wye in the river. To date we have taken some 259 samples at 14 locations in the river & tributaries. Our team of volunteers has grown to 11 with the addition of monitoring the main river at Fawley. When lockdown and river levels permit we will install a water temperature monitor as part of our ongoing Temperature Monitoring programme at the same location. Whilst we are observing some interesting data on P levels it remains inappropriate to draw firm conclusions until we gather a more substantive volume of data from a range of conditions throughout the year. However, there are some initial interesting results that encourage more detailed investigations. I have attached our spreadsheet for information. If you wish a full ‘excel’ file for your personal study and analysis please email me at [email protected] Some of our data is being analysed by an undergraduate at Cardiff University, himself an angler. Beginning with basic mapping of the sites he will follow on to study temporal trends in phosphate and river levels. At first look he is beginning to observe trends between water colour and phosphate level which seems likely rainfall linked. He will use various techniques to produce visual representations of the spatial and temporal variations in water chemistry. More at our next update. In tandem with the usual phosphate checks for WSA, and in the aftermath of the most recent fish kill on the Llynfi, Gwent AS has invested in an ammonia checker which records NH3-N.

Site Evaluation Grade II* Primary reasons for grading An extensive system of public parks and open spaces surviving in its entirety, including Rock Park, one of the first public parks created in Wales. Type of Site Victorian public park/spa with additional public areas throughout the town including arboretum and boating lake. Main Phases of Construction c. 1860 onwards. SITE DESCRIPTION ROCK PARK Rock Park is the principal public space of Llandrindod Wells and contains a famous chalybeate spring. The park is situated on the south-west side of the town and covers approximately 12 acres. The ground slopes down from Norton and Park Terraces, on the north-west and north-east respectively, towards the River Ithon, which creates the western boundary of the park, before rising towards a level terrace above the river where a Bowls Club is located. The main entrance to the park is opposite the Gwalia building on the north-eastern end of Norton Terrace. The Park is characterised by an open central area around three main spa buildings; the Pump Room, Treatment Centre and the Pavilion. It has two styles of planting; a Victorian arboretum to the north and native woodland on the south. A network of paths connect these different areas. A natural water feature, the Arlais Brook, runs through the park on a south-west diagonal.
