Annual Report 2014 The Birds of Herefordshire 2014 Herefordshire Ornithological Club Annual Report Starling murmurations above Bulmers in Hereford City in March 2014 (Photo: Mick Colquhoun) Editorial I am pleased to present the 2014 edition of ‘The Birds of Herefordshire’, the 64th annual report of the Herefordshire Ornithological Club (HOC). Some further changes in format have been incorporated in this publication, including the larger book size, which allows a wider range of illustrative material to be presented more professionally. Once again, I hope you enjoy reading about the 2014 birding year. 2014 saw a quantum leap in bird recording for the Club with the adoption of BirdTrack as the standard system of recording. The roll-out of this recording system within HOC was overseen by Chris Robinson and Mick Colquhoun and, once members are au fait with the data entry process, it should revolutionise the collection and handling of an increasing volume and detail of data being collected. Once again we are indebted to you, the observers, for collecting these records during 2014, and to the eight script writers, for scrutinising and summarising the data for each species in the systematic list accounts. However, the data is still light on confirmed breeding evidence and on relevant behavioural and habitat comments, so please do not forget to include this information wherever possible. Surprisingly, there have been no changes in the taxonomic classification of the species relevant to Herefordshire this year, and hence the systematic list sequence presented here is as for 2013. However an opportunity has been taken by the Rarities Subcommittee to carry out a thorough review of the historical records of rarer species and this updated information is incorporated into the new format for the county list of 280 species which is presented on pages 12 – 16. To help readers locate individual species information, an alphabetic list is included on pages 138 – 139. During 2014, a total of 174 species were recorded in the county, details of which are presented in the systematic list section on pages 23 – 94. This includes one species that was seen for the first time in Herefordshire – the Bluethroat, in addition to the Parrot Crossbill, a new county species in December 2013 that remained into early January 2014. Both these sightings are covered by short articles in the ‘new species’ section on pages 20 – 22. In addition to these, there were 11 other rarities with 20 or fewer previous county records observed during the year – Red-crested Pochard, Long-tailed Duck, Avocet, Bar-tailed Godwit, Turnstone, Curlew Sandpiper, Temminck’s Stint, Spotted Redshank, Sandwich Tern, Cetti’s Warbler and Common (Mealy) Redpoll. Continuing with the drive to present more technical articles of interest to the readership, I am pleased to include in this year’s edition articles on ‘the birds of Haugh Wood’ and a summary of the ‘winter thrushes survey in Herefordshire’, as well as the usual reports on bird ringing, nestbox recording and Garden Birdwatch. The main HOC Committee wishes to thank the County Recorder and the Data Manager for compiling and checking the huge amount of data this year. The willingness and time input of all authors, identified by name on the ‘Contents’ page and at the end of each section, is also gratefully acknowledged. Finally, I must thank Tony Eveleigh, John Pullen and Nick Smith for their meticulous checking of the systematic list accounts, Mick Colquhoun for co-ordinating another excellent range of photographs, Gerald Parker for his drawings and Gerald Wells for proof-reading the final script.

The event at Berrington Hall, by kind permission of the National Trust, in the presence of Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of Herefordshire, Lady Darnley, was an excellent opportunity for the Club to display its enthusiastic professionalism to the wider world. We are indeed fortunate in having such a supportive membership, and your Committee is grateful to you all. The number of members has again scarcely varied, which is in some ways comforting, but it has been my hope that more people will join what is obviously an active Club, and enjoy the benefits of belonging. Your Committee is endeavouring to create a recruitment strategy which will attract sufficient new members to maintain the long term viability of the Club. Meetings The early part of the year was subject to heavier than normal rainfall, which had an impact on some of the field meetings, but our stalwart team of leaders kept going whenever possible. We were treated to an interesting and varied programme,

  • The Birds of Herefordshire 2015
    The Birds of Herefordshire 2015 Herefordshire Ornithological Club Annual Report Jackdaws and Hereford cattle at Much Marcle in March 2015 (Photo: Mick Colquhoun) Editorial This is the 65th annual report of the ‘Birds of Herefordshire’, the Herefordshire Ornithological Club’s (HOC) annual publication for 2015, which I hope you will enjoy reading. During the year a total of 172 species were recorded, summary details and highlights of which are presented in the systematic list section on pages 30 – 98, for which I wish to thank the species authors. An alphabetic index of species is included on pages 146 – 147 to help readers locate individual species information and a gazetteer of place names mentioned in the species accounts is provided on pages 142 – 145. The county list of species (now numbering 281) was boosted by the sighting of a Spotted Sandpiper, a county ‘first’, at Wellington Gravel Pits in May 2015 (see article on pages 28 – 29), and seven other rarities with 20 or fewer previous county records also made an appearance in Herefordshire during the year: Red-crested Pochard, Marsh Harrier, Turnstone, Temminck’s Stint, Red-necked Phalarope, Caspian Gull and Common Redpoll. A tremendous amount of effort has gone into validating the records of rarities on the county list during the past year and the review article on pages 12 – 18 makes enlightening reading and provides a definitive list and dates of sightings for all 94 rarity species with 20 or fewer records. The large increase in the number of bird records received in 2014, compared with previous years, continued in 2015 with a similar 46,000 records being utilised in compiling this annual report.

Introduction 1.1 Much Birch Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) is a new type of planning document introduced by the Localism Act of 2011. It enables local communities to make a major contribution to some of the planning decisions that will be needed to meet the requirements for development within their areas. It does this by enabling local communities to set planning policies that will be used in determining planning applications. Once it is adopted it will become part of the Development Plan, sitting alongside the Local Plan which includes Herefordshire Core Strategy, guiding what might receive planning permission as well as indicating what measures are to be promoted to guide new development.

The Plan is accompanied by the following documents: A map showing the area to which the Plan relates. A written statement explaining how the Plan meets the relevant legal requirements .
