  • Report on Rare Birds in Great Britain in 1996 M
    British Birds Established 1907; incorporating 'The Zoologist', established 1843 Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 1996 M. J. Rogers and the Rarities Committee with comments by K. D. Shaw and G. Walbridge A feature of the year was the invasion of Arctic Redpolls Carduelis homemanni and the associated mass of submitted material. Before circulations began, we feared the worst: a huge volume of contradictory reports with differing dates, places and numbers and probably a wide range of criteria used to identify the species. In the event, such fears were mostly unfounded. Several submissions were models of clarity and co-operation; we should like to thank those who got together to sort out often-confusing local situations and presented us with excellent files. Despite the numbers, we did not resort to nodding reports through: assessment remained strict, but the standard of description and observation was generally high (indeed, we were able to enjoy some of the best submissions ever). Even some rejections were 'near misses', usually through no fault of the observers. Occasionally, one or two suffered from inadequate documentation ('Looked just like bird A' not being quite good enough on its own). Having said that, we feel strongly that the figures presented in this report are minimal and a good many less-obvious individuals were probably passed over as 'Mealies' C. flammea flammea, often when people understandably felt more inclined to study the most distinctive Arctics. The general standard of submissions varies greatly. We strongly encourage individuality, but the use of at least the front of the standard record form helps.

  • A Baseline Ecosystem Services Assessment of the Sheffield Lakeland Landscape
    A baseline ecosystem services assessment of the Sheffield Lakeland landscape Author: Dr Alison Holt Reviewed by: Dr Jim Rouquette Natural Capital Solutions Ltd Contact details: www.naturalcapitalsolutions.co.uk [email protected] Tel: 07973 332758 Report prepared for: Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust January 2018 Executive summary The Sheffield Lakeland area lies between the western edge of the city of Sheffield, and the moorland slopes of the Peak District National Park. It encompasses the watersheds of Sheffield’s main rivers, including eight reservoirs that provide drinking water to surrounding areas and beyond. It is also an area important for the conservation of biodiversity with nationally and internationally important habitats and species. The area has a rich cultural heritage and many visitors are drawn to the recreational opportunities and aesthetic experiences that the area offers. The Sheffield Lakeland is also a place where people live and supports livelihoods associated with the land, for example farming and grouse moor management. These activities sit alongside the other values placed on the landscape outlined above, and create challenges for the sustainable management of the area. Declining biodiversity, habitat degradation, diffuse pollution, rising recreational numbers and flooding are increasing pressures. This project uses a natural capital approach to assess the ecosystem services provided by the Sheffield Lakeland area. This will serve as a baseline by which to compare the success of the Sheffield Lakeland Partnership projects. The first step was to understand the extent of the natural capital assets (habitats) in the area. A qualitative assessment was made of the level of provision of the full range of ecosystem services provided by the Lakeland area.

The ‘Sheffield Moors’ is a collective name for a group of adjoining upland, and predominantly moorland sites that are all in public or charitable ownership. Collectively, they provide an amazing and very accessible landscape for people and wildlife across some 21 square miles of the Peak District National Park and very close to Sheffield, the fourth largest City in England. The landscape is ancient and dramatic, and can provide a true sense of wilderness and quiet enjoyment, despite its closeness to Sheffield. At the same time, this is a popular place for many different types of access and recreation, attracting over a million visits per year, with more active outdoor pursuits like mountain-biking growing in popularity.
