For more details use the following link:- https://butterfly-conservation.org/conservation-in-the-south-west-conference Devon BC thanks John Bell John Bell has recently retired from his role as Lit- tle Breach reserve officer since stepping in during 2016 when David Hinde suddenly died. Rick Til- lett has kindly agreed to take on the role. John has successfully maintained the necessary work at the reserve which is near to Culmstock and Hemyock in the Blackdowns and remains the most knowledgeable person in matters concern- ing it and its history. Hopefully he can continue to contribute his knowledge for the benefit of the reserve in the future. With help from Peter Beale, our Conservation Adviser, management now looks more secure since Peter enlisted contractor Stuart Britton for the winter power tool work. Looking at data for the reserve, John has com- mented recently that the general picture at Little Breach is one of slow butterfly species decline John at Little Breach in 2017 PETE HURST from 26/27 species 20 years ago to 20/21 at pre- sent. However, he notes that Little Breach is still an insect oasis in an increasing desert, with the neighbouring Common much less good for butterflies. Thank you, John, for all your hard work at Little Breach and we hope as a branch to build on all that has been achieved so far. 3 Devon BC Members’ Day and AGM 2019 Saturday 19th October in the Boniface Centre in the grounds of Crediton Parish Church The Parish Church is on the A377 main road which from Exeter is on the right not long after passing the turning for Tiverton (A3072) on the edge of the town centre and before the shops begin. Travelling from North Devon on A377, shortly after passing all the town centre shops, the entrance to the Parish Church is on the left The Boniface Centre is on the right as you go down the Parish Church drive - keep on to rear of church for parking.

The suggested donation for lunch is £10. Lunch usually consists of plated cold meat (there is also a vege- tarian choice of cheese and onion quiche and a vegan cheese wrap option) all with warm potatoes, salad and pasta followed by apple pie and cream or fruit salad. Lunches will not be available to order on the day, so book early to avoid disappointment. Also, unless stated at the time, lunches booked will be of the meat option if the vegetarian or vegan option is not mentioned. Principal speakers: Dr Phil Sterling was Dorset County Council Ecologist for many years. Since the 1990’s he has been involved in delivering some wildlife-rich roadside margins during landscaping for new roads. A specialist in micro moths, he was principal author alongside Mark Parsons of the 2012 Field 4 Guide to the Micro Moths of Great Britain and Ireland. Phil is currently employed by BC as Programme Manager for its Building Sites for Butterflies initiative which es- pecially focuses on urban landscapes. Dr Andy Barker has been an active volunteer with BC since 1985. As a trustee in BC he chairs the national Conservation Strategy Committee and has extensive experience in working with volunteers. In his talk he will show how Magdalen Hill Down has evolved to become the impressive BC wildlife reserve of today. Agenda for the AGM of the Devon Branch of Butterfly Conservation 1. Present. 2. Apologies. 3. Approval of the Minutes of the meeting of 27th October 2018. 4. Matters arising from those minutes. 5. Accounts and Treasurer’s report. 6. Moth report. 7. Committee members standing down on rotation and standing for re-election: 8. Chairman’s report. 9. Transect and WCBS co-ordinator’s report. 10. AOB. The Members’ Day is a good opportunity to find out more about what the branch is doing in Devon. Usually there is some literature available and often some exhibits to look at. It is an opportunity to meet members of the committee and other enthusiastic members. Our speakers are always well received and we are confident that you will have a good day out! Non-members are welcome too. There is no charge to attend but we do ask for a donation for the booked lunches. Winter conservation work 2018-2019 and effects on butterfly season in 2019 Ashclyst Forest near Exeter: One volunteers work day and 2 extra days from a BC funded contractor last winter have given a boost to management for butterflies, invertebrates and flora in the Forest. The National Trust have additionally undertaken major clearing work in a programme to connect scattered wildlife areas within the Forest with broad open corridors. A Pearl -bordered Fritillary (PBF) was seen in the Snaffle Park area where Devon BC 5 helped with coppicing, and more were seen nearby. The coppiced area has already revealed plentiful violets, the Fritillary’s larval foodplant. Chudleigh Knighton Heath: Our clearance work in the winter paid off with sightings of PBF in the 2 compartments our members worked in. With other work by Devon Wildlife Trust elsewhere at the Heath, I managed to find the presence of PBF in 6 compartments when just a few years ago I only found them in one. Miltor Mator near Kingskerswell: A well-attended work day last January gave the target butterfly, Grizzled Skipper more open habitat, and Kevin and Jacki Solman counted 12 Grizzled on 21st May, which is the most seen on one day for some years. Little Breach near Culmstock: The reserve continues to be a wildlife oasis in this area of the Blackdowns being especially good for grassland species. Devil’s-bit Scabious has gradually increased at the reserve and for 2 seasons now some Marsh Fritillary butterflies have been seen there. The Scabious is their larval foodplant. It is unclear how the butterflies found there way there, whether naturally or assisted. Lydford: In spite of extra work done at the reserve, there was a significant drop in adult Heath Fritillaries this year. Numbers of all butterfly species fluctu- ate constantly depending on many factors, and after so many years of high numbers of the butterfly it should not be surprising that a dip has occurred. Last summer’s drought and this June’s cold wet weather must have impacted.

  • BLACKPOOL MILL COTTAGE Brochure 2015
    BLACKPOOL MILL COTTAGE The 15th century cottage is situated in a beautiful valley, a stone’s throw away from a remote Atlantic cove. It sleeps 8 people but is equally suitable for 2. A private drive leading from Hartland Abbey through woodland, carpeted in snowdrops and bluebells in spring, quite suddenly opens out to reveal a view of the cliffs and the sea, with the cottage beside the Abbey stream. Its unique position makes it a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the natural surroundings, and escape from the pressures of modern living. It is a children’s paradise. In 2005 the cottage was the film location for Rosamunde Pilcher’s ‘The Shell Seekers’ with Vanessa Redgrave and Maximillian Schell. In May 2007 the BBC filmed Andrew Davies’s stunning adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility here, with Janet McTeer and Mark Williams leading a cast of Hattie Morahan, Charity Wakefield, Dan Stevens, David Morrisey and Dominic Cooper. The cottage starred as ‘Barton Cottage’, home to the Dashwood family when they fell on hard times. The beach, with its rock pools, sand at low tide and unique cliff formation is always interesting in all weathers and at low tide prawns, mussels, limpets, star fish, crabs, lobsters and fish are to be found in the pools which are also wonderful natural paddling pools for children. The sea is very clean and excellent for bathing and surfing, in the right conditions. In good weather evening barbecuing on the beach with the sun setting over the sea is magical. The only light to be seen is from the lighthouse on Lundy Island.
