  • DRAFT Bedfordshire Butterflies Report for 2019
    DRAFT 2019 Bedfordshire Butterfly Report destined to be published in Bedfordshire Naturalist The photographs herein are only to illustrate this DRAFT – others will be sought for publication Butterflies 2019 Keith Balmer With no exceptionally warm days in January it was a quiet month for butterflies with just a Red Admiral seen on the 8th and a Peacock on the 28th. February was a much warmer month which elicited a lot more activity. The first Small Tortoiseshell was seen on the 5th, Brimstone on the 9th and Comma on the 15th. By the 24th the balmy weather had also brought out a Large White and three Small Whites. The counts by the end of February were extraordinary: Brimstone 245, Comma 54, Large White 1, Peacock 14, Red Admiral 30, Small Tortoiseshell 61, Small White 4, making a total of 409 adults and seven species! March was another warm month resulting in an advanced start to the season for four more species: Speckled Wood on the 2nd, Orange Tip and Holly Blue on the 24th, and Green-veined White on the 29th. On the 30th a Painted Lady was seen in the van of a strong migration which saw large numbers arrive in the UK later in the year. 12 species and 706 butterflies were reported during March. April opened with another early sighting, a Green Hairstreak on the 1st. Small Copper showed next on the 15th, followed by Grizzled Skipper on the 19th, Duke of Burgundy on the 20th, Small Heath on the 21st and Dingy Skipper on the 22nd. Fine weather in week 16 (16th to 22nd April) produced a large volume of sightings and resultant spike in the weekly data.

The production of the Ravensden Parish GI Plan has been funded through the Ravensden Neighbourhood Plan and facilitated by Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity (BRCC). The production of the GI Plan was requested by Ravensden Parish Council both to be a valuable tool in its own right as a planning document, and to inform policies and objectives in the emerging Ravensden Neighbourhood Plan. BRCC was appointed to facilitate the production of this Plan as it is a charity that works with local communities and landowners to conserve and enhance the landscape, wildlife and history in this area. At the heart of BRCC’s work is the belief that the best results are achieved by empowering local communities, giving them a say in issues that affect them. BRCC has over 60 years of experience in community development support and facilitating community consultation; and has 20 years’ experience of planning and delivering green infrastructure projects in Bedfordshire.

  • Bedfordshire Walking Festival
    OPEN DAILY APRIL TO AUGUST 2019 Welcome... to the 10th Annual Bedfordshire Walking Festival Few would have thought the Bedfordshire walking festival would still be taking place ten years on and in a county most people seem to ignore. True it may not be the Cotswolds nor the South Downs but Bedfordshire is a compact county with three distinctive types of walking. The Chalk Hills in the south, the picturesque, wooded undulating area in the middle referred to as the Greensand Country, and a mixture of woodland and the open space in the undulating "Wolds" of the north. Located in England's driest region, this attractive county is a great place to explore on foot and so easy to get to by road, rail, air and water as many have already found. Combine with a great range of walks. led by knowledgeable and friendly leaders, and it becomes easy to see how the festival has grown and grown. To mark the 10th anniversary, and in addition to walks across the county, we have set up Hub's at Woburn, Bedford's Priory Park and Ampthill Park on three of the nine days from where walks will start and from where walking relative information can be obtained. Enjoy a stroll through history at Woburn Abbey The walks and events in the programme are colour coded enabling you to easily select the type of walks • which appeal and the centre page map will enable you to find their location. Explore the award-winning, historic gardens Most of the walks and events are free and do not require a booking however some need to be booked • because there is either a restriction on numbers or because transport has to be organised.
