Conservationists are calling for cameras on fishing vessels to help lower their by-catch, and get a more accurate toll. Helen McLachlan said “Nature is in freefall and we need urgent action. Effective monitoring of fisheries will help us understand their true impact on wildlife and help minimise the needless death of seabirds and other marine mammals.” It seems Harry Potter fans were keeping owls and failed to look after them. The fad was inspired by his pet owl “Hedwig”. One went blind due to the unclean conditions. Owen Joiner of The Bird Gardens, a bird sanctuary in the Borders, Scotland said four were kept in boxes meant for taking cats to the vets. One went blind as a result of not feeding them properly or letting them roam. The blind female owl was teamed up with a rescued male. Author JK Rowling repeatedly urged fans not to keep owls as pets. A pair of Barn Owls are having the roof of their run-down home repaired after a £30,000 appeal in Shillingstone, Dorset. Even at the end of November, Rooks are apparently sizing up their nesting places. Rooks nest in colonies in tall trees. Crows which are also corvids tend to nest singly. Numbers of Greenfinches are slightly on the rise after a disease a few years ago nearly wiped them out. Bird flu is on the increase. 8 Swans from a family of 9 died with symptoms at Ulverston Canal at the end of November. On the 29th November around 10,500 Turkeys faced being culled after an outbreak of Avian influenza at a farm in North Allerton, North Yorkshire. A six-mile control zone was set up. The Department for Environment and Rural Affairs insist the virus does not affect food safety. This follows outbreaks at a chicken farm in Herefordshire and among geese and swans in Gloucs, Dorset and Devon. Public Health England said the risk to humans of the H5N8 virus was very low. I would advise taking some time to sanitise your hands after touching the bird feeders in your garden. I have recently received reliable reports of 12 Choughs being seen on the headlands near Mawgan Porth. What a success story for Choughs in Cornwall. The pair that I help to monitor have produced 8 offspring in the last 2 years. Many thanks for kind remarks about Bird Notes in the Newsletter.

Clearly there is a universal hope that things will get better on all sorts of levels, not least with regard to Covid-19. I think what has been clearly evident throughout the pandemic is the willingness of individual members of communities to provide help and support for each other. It is this community awareness that I would like to harness and cultivate in 2021 in order to afford the Cubert NDP Steering Group the best opportunity to produce a development plan for the parish that is not only fit for purpose but that also carries as much support as possible from both residents and businesses alike.In the short term, the Covid-19 tiering restrictions prohibit any sort of meaningful public meeting. This does not however alter the fact that the opinion of the people of Cubert Parish remains the cornerstone of what will become the final report. With this in mind, the steering group has agreed the need to for us to harvest opinion through as many mediums as possible. The Cubert newsletter is a great way to get information out to people. What we are trying to achieve however is a two way flow, a dialogue and an accumulation of opinion. With this in mind, Tim Lord has completely overhauled the Cubert NDP website and provided the opportunity for people to join the “NDP Community” and through that be able to air their thoughts. He has created the ability for people to comment specifically on each of the priority areas separately in recognition of the fact that people have their own differing views and priorities. In a similar vein, we are looking to expand the usage of our Facebook page, put more information into the public domain and generate more interaction. For the information of those may not yet be aware the priorities identified to date are; priorities for new housing, future business development in the parish, traffic control and car parking, provision of sports and leisure facilities, protecting our heritage assets and green spaces and safe guarding our school facilities and potential expansion needs. The members of the Steering Group have formed sub-groups to assess the potential within each subject area. I would urge as many people as PLATFORMS possible to utilise the platforms that I’ve mentioned and which are https://www.cubertndp.co.uk shown to express their views. https://business.facebook.com/CubertNDP There remains the option to contact me directly at https://www.instagram.com/cubertndp/ [email protected].
