AIMS OF THE SOCIETY The Hampshire Ornithological Society has three broad aims: • To promote the recording and study of bird life in Hampshire and to publish the results in its annual Bird Report. • To use these results to encourage and support the conservation of wild birds and their habitats in the County. • To foster a wider interest in the recording and preservation of Hampshire bird life by organising a programme of indoor and outdoor meetings, by publishing a quarterly magazine and other forms of publicity. MEMBERSHIP The annual subscription is £12 for Ordinary, Joint or Family membership; £5 for Junior membership (under 18s). Full membership information is given on p. 206 and on the HOS web site: http://www.hos.org.uk. Hampshire Bird Report 2012 Editor: John Clark [email protected] County Recorder: Keith Betton HOS Records Panel: Keith Betton, Bob Chapman, Simon Ingram, Nigel Jones, Marcus Ward and Simon Woolley Hampshire Ornithological Society 2013 Chairman’s Report 2012 This is my first report as Chairman and covers the period up to the 2013 Annual General Meeting (AGM). It would be remiss of me not to begin by thanking John Eyre as outgoing Chairman for all that he did for the Society for twenty years. I hope that you will find me a worthy successor and that I can continue his good work. John hinted at changes afoot to ensure that honorary officers didn’t outstay their welcome. At the AGM in March a rule change was adopted that the Chairman would serve for a five year term with the option of a second five year stint, which is something which I wholeheartedly support. It is fitting too that John, together with Margaret Boswell (Sales Officer) and Nigel Peace (Treasurer) were awarded life membership in recognition of all that they had done for the Society. Alan Cox’s decision to step down as the editor of the Bird Report came as something of a shock to the committee; we are however so lucky that John Clark has agreed to take on the role once more. We were delighted to give Alan life membership for all his years of devotion to what is no mean feat in the production of one of the premier bird reports in the country. Bird Trail was held at Bolderwood in the New Forest and once again was very well supported. It was ably organised by Dawn Russell and her team who are to be congratulated on the whole event. I know that it is an old cliché, but we do continuously need new blood and this is a great way to encourage youngsters to take up the mantle. Dawn has decided to stand down as the organiser and I would like to thank her on behalf of the society for all that she has done to make the event a great success every year. I am also delighted to announce that Paul Levy has agreed to take on the role for the 2013 event, which will be held at Blashford Lakes. HOS is fortunate to have an active and healthy membership that stands at around 1600. The AGMs continue to draw an attendance of at least 300 annually. It has come to the stage where we may have to consider alternative venues which accommodate more people and have more extensive parking facilities. Those that attended this year will have heard me mention a list of willing volunteers that I have started. Often people leave their post for one reason or another and it would be nice to have a waiting list, hence my plea for people to come forward. You may not hear from me for some time, but it makes for a seamless transition if we have someone in the wings, ready to step in at short notice. If you feel that this could be something that interests you, please get in touch for an informal chat anytime. Finally I should like to thank all those on the various committees (Management, Scientific and Membership) who have given me so much help and support in my first full year of office and work so tirelessly on your behalf. Three in particular that stood down at this year’s AGM deserve special thanks for their contributions, namely David Thelwell and Andy Page as ordinary members and Ian Julian as Kingfisher editor. I hope they will resurface in other roles but until then I trust they will enjoy a well-deserved break.

Comparison of this new report with those earlier issues shows how much the digital age has allowed publishing to progress. That for 1979 contained a mere 60 pages with no illustrations or photographs. By 1996 the report had increased to 180 pages, including a sprinkling of vignettes by Dan Powell and David Thelwell, four pages of colour photographs and even two pages of advertisements! Since then HOS has increased its membership substantially which has given it the financial muscle to produce the full colour, large format bird report which you have in your hands today. However, that would not have been possible without the tremendous dedication and massive number of hours put in by my predecessor Alan Cox in editing and producing eleven reports from 2002-11. Under Alan’s leadership the report went from strength to strength in terms of the content, quality of the illustrations and photographs, and overall quality. Thus I would like to congratulate him on his nomination as an honorary life member of HOS, which is fully deserved. However, notwithstanding the quality of previous issues, I felt that as the new Editor it was my role to introduce some changes and innovations to the report. Within the Systematic List, there has been a deliberate move towards a narrative style at the expense of lists of records. In recognition that HOS members and other readers have a wide spectrum of expertise and knowledge of Hampshire birds and birding in general, I have included more interpretation of some of the records included. Previous reports included a large number of tables summarising the records of various species for the last ten years; these have now been excluded but it is hoped that they will appear in a records section of the HOS website in the near future. Some information has been removed from individual species accounts and presented in tabular form after the Systematic List. This includes counts from the Thames Basin and Wealden Heaths Breeding Bird Survey in Table 1 on page 161 and data from the BTO’s Breeding Bird Survey in Table 2 on page 162. Information from the BTO’s Garden BirdWatch has been included for the first time. Records from an astonishing 373 gardens are summarised in Table 3 on page 164, and sightings of some species such as Blackcap, Siskin and Reed Bunting have been incorporated into the species accounts. The Systematic List is preceded by Richard Carpenter’s Review of the Year which utilises a concise style to summarise the ornithological highlights of 2012 and where appropriate to link them to the weather conditions at the time.

    1 Footprint Contract Reference: 285 Date: April 2016 Version: FINAL Recommended Citation: Lake, S., Underhill-Day, J. and Panter, C. 2016. A report and recommendations following the 2015/6 Hazeley Heath management consultation. A report by Footprint Ecology to Hart District Council 1 Summary Hazeley Heath, which supports rare heathland fauna and habitats, requires ongoing management to prevent succession to secondary woodland and to improve the condition of the habitat. Managed by Hart District Council (HDC) and RSPB (RSPB), it comprises two commons that are much valued for quiet recreation by the local community. HDC and RSPB are developing a new five-year management plan for the site, and wished to consult with the local community and other stakeholders about the future management of the commons. A consultation process following that set out in the government guidance A Common Purpose is therefore being used. To date, the consultation has involved an online questionnaire, a drop-in day, a guided walk on Hazeley Heath, and letters sent to around 320 local residents, relevant organisations and commoners. This report summarises the findings of the consultation and makes recommendations for the management of the common. The questionnaire revealed that most respondents were local, and visited the common to walk. Many also visited for dog walking, nature study, and quiet relaxation. At least two thirds of respondents visited the common at least weekly, and about a third daily. Most arrived on foot, with about a third arriving by car. Respondents visited Hazeley Heath predominantly because of the scenery and open views, peace and quiet and wildness, also easy access, wildlife and circular routes.

  • A Literature Review of Urban Effects on Lowland Heaths and Their Wildlife
    Report Number 623 A literature review of urban effects on lowland heaths and their wildlife English Nature Research Reports working today for nature tomorrow English Nature Research Reports Number 623 A literature review of urban effects on lowland heaths and their wildlife J C Underhill-Day RSPB, Syldata Arne, Wareham Dorset BH20 5BJ Telephone: 01929 550969 email: [email protected] You may reproduce as many additional copies of this report as you like, provided such copies stipulate that copyright remains with English Nature, Northminster House, Peterborough PE1 1UA ISSN 0967-876X © Copyright English Nature 2005 Executive summary Introduction Heather clad lowland heath developed on light, freely draining, acid soils following prehistoric woodland clearance, and down the centuries, has been kept open by grazing, burning and cutting. As the economic value of these uses declined, considerable areas of heath were lost to agriculture, forestry, housing, roads, mineral working and other uses, and today, much of what is left is adjacent to built up areas, especially in Dorset. These lowland heathland fragments can be found across much of southern England on suitable soils. Much of the research on heathlands over the last twenty years has concentrated on the Dorset heaths, which are now almost all SSSIs and mostly within the Dorset Heathland SPA. While this report reflects the bias in the literature towards work in Dorset, the results have wide applicability to urban heathlands that are accessed by the surrounding urban populations for amenity and recreation whether in Dorset or elsewhere. This urban public access places considerable pressures on the heaths, for example through disturbance, wild fires, trampling, predation by domestic pets, pollution and enrichment.

"Following the excitement of seeing our first Purple Emperor inside our office yesterday, exactly the same thing happened again today at around 9.45am. The office door was open and we spotted a butterfly on the inside of the window, on closer inspection we realised it was a Purple Emperor. It was much smaller than the one we had seen the day before and more battered. However we were able to take pictures of it, in fact the butterfly actually climbed onto one of the cameras and remained there for a while. It then climbed from camera to hand, and we took it outside for more pictures before it eventually flew off. It seemed to be feeding off the hand.". Purple Empeor Purple Empeor Terry Hotten writes: "A brief walk around Hazeley Heath this morning produced a fresh Small Tortoiseshell along with Marbled Whites, Silver- studded Blues in reasonable numbers along with Meadow Browns, Ringlets and Large and Small Skippers." peter gardner reports from highcross froxfield (SU712266) where the following observations were made: Red Admiral (1 "purched on an hot window ").
