Keepsake back numbers are available from David & Iris Pauli, 8 Lindford Drive, Eaton, Norwich NR4 6LT 85 NORFOLK BIRD REPORT - 2004 Editorial On behalf of the Society I am pleased to present the annual report on the Birds of Norfolk. Apart from the Review of the Year, Systematic List, Ringing Report etc a variety of articles are included. The first relates to the history of the RSPB reserve at Bemey Marshes, followed by two detailed papers, one on the colonisation of Norfolk by the Little Egret, the other relating to Bearded Tit populations at Hickling Broad. Three articles concern county rarities - Grey-cheeked Thrush, Alpine Accentor and Pine Bunting. Last, but not least, is a list of Norfolk bird names compiled by Richard Richardson and recently discovered by Richard Fitter. Acknowledgements The Report continues to be very much a team effort and my special thanks go to: • Neil Lawton - co-recorder, • Julian Bhalerao - co-ordinating photographs, • Justin Lansdell - commenting on and proof-reading articles, • Peter Lindsley - for his major role in the actual production of the Report. However, without the help of many other people the Report in its present format would not be possible. My thanks also go to: • the inputters of the monthly records into the computerised recording system - Dave and Jacquie Bridges, Megan Crewe, Judy Dunmore, Vince Hanlon, Neil Lawton, Christine Stean and Pat Wileman; • those who drafted sections of the Systematic List - Andy Benson, Dave and Jacquie Bridges, Andy Brown, Pete Clement, Keith Dye, Mark Eldridge, Mick Fiszer, John and Judy Geeson, Vince Hanlon, Phil Heath, Gary Hibberd, John Kemp, Justin Lansdell, Neil Lawton, Ben Murphy, Ashley Saunders, Mick Saunt, Enid Stanford, Peter Wilson and John Williamson; • members of the County Records Committee; • authors of the articles in the Report, in particular Peter Allard, Andrew Bloomfield, James Cadbury and Ron Harold; • Dave and Jacquie Bridges for compiling the Review of the Year; • particular thanks to Richard Fitter for providing the background information and his kind permission to publish Richard Richardson’s Norfolk Bird Names; • the artists and photographers who have made their work freely available; • The Sarnia Charitable Trust for its continued assistance towards the cost of colour photographs; • Moss Taylor for supplying details of the ongoing Norfolk Bird Atlas; • Steve Wakeham for the meteorological information; • Mike Rogers, Secretary of the British Birds Rarities Committee; • all the many individual contributors and clubs/societies, and in particular Birdline East Anglia and Rare Bird Alert, who have contributed records; • Pat Wileman for her continued help and support in the computerisation process; 86 • finally my wife Judy without whose help, support and time the whole process would never happen. It is she who spends more and more time dealing with the electronic receipt of records and receiving and typing replies to e-mails. I also have to thank her for her work with the typing and layout of the actual Report, particularly ensuring consistency of both writing and display style throughout. The County Records Committee (Dave Bridges, Mick Fiszer, John Kemp, Justin Lansdell and Richard Millington) considered a total of 80 records in the year; 9 of these were rejected, mostly as a result of insufficient detail and not owing to an incorrect identification. At its recent annual meeting the Committee discussed in detail the acceptance of records of tristis Chiffchaff Due to the problems of separating some ‘northern’ and ‘eastern’ Chiffchaffs the Committee considers that it can only accept birds showing the characteristics of the tristis race where a comprehensive description has been submitted and the characteristic call heard and fully described. It was also noted that there were no accepted records of Great White Egret and only one of Rose-ringed Parakeet despite several reports of both species. The Committee also reviewed the list of species needing submission of a written description or photographic evidence prior to publication (subject to acceptance) and decided to delete Greenland White-fronted Goose and Pallas’s Warbler. The list is now as follows: Taiga Bean Goose (away from Yare Rose-ringed Parakeet Valley) Dark-breasted Bam Owl ‘Vagrant’ Canada Goose Bee-eater American Wigeon Short-toed Lark Ring-necked Duck Tawny Pipit Surf Scoter Flava Wagtail (continental races except Black-necked Grebe (at sea) Blue-headed and Grey-headed) Cory’s Shearwater Bluethroat (White-spotted only) Great Shearwater Aquatic Warbler Balearic Shearwater Marsh Warbler Storm Petrel Melodious Warbler Night Heron Dartford Warbler Purple Heron Chiffchaff {tristis race) White Stork Woodchat Shrike Spotted Crake Raven Corncrake Rose-coloured Starling Buff-breasted Sandpiper Serin Grey Phalarope (in flight at sea) Common Rosefinch Sabine’s Gull Ortolan Bunting Ring-billed Gull Little Bunting Caspian Gull With regard to the submission of details, obviously the Committee would expect a far more detailed description of a species such as Ring-billed Gull (which is not only rare in the county but difficult to identify) than a species such as a White Stork. Written descriptions should consist of a brief note of the circumstances of the observation (weather, distance from bird, any other observers, etc), followed by a description of the actual bird(s) and details of any other species nearby for comparison. Written notes should state clearly how a bird was identified. Observers are also requested to include a note of their previous experience of the species and, if relevant, a brief outline of how any confusable species were eliminated. Copies 87 of field sketches (however poor artistically) are often invaluable together with written field notes. It should be noted that on occasions observers may be asked for further details of species not contained in the above list - if records relate to unusual dates, localities, etc. Editorial Material: Articles for consideration, artwork, photographs and transparencies should continue to be submitted to me at 49 Nelson Road, Sheringham, Norfolk NR26 8DA. Submission of Records Many people comment to me on the amount of work involved in the production of this Report. A county the size and importance of Norfolk generates a huge number of bird sightings. As will be seen from the acknowledgments I now have a team of people who help with the computerised recording throughout the year, taking responsibility for certain months. This way the handling of duplicate records is much simpler and far less time consuming and the workload is spread out rather than being concentrated on a short

  • Fen Management Strategy - Explains the Role of the Strategy and Its Relationship to Other Documents
    CONTENTS Acknowledgements Purpose & use of the fen management strategy - explains the role of the strategy and its relationship to other documents Summary - outlines the need for a fen management strategy Introduction - Sets the picture of development and use of fens from their origins to present day Approach to producing strategy - Methodology to writing the fen management strategy Species requirements: This section provides a summary of our existing knowledge concerning birds, plants, mammals and invertebrates associated with the Broads fens. This information forms a basis for the fen management strategy. Vegetation resource Mammals Birds Invertebrates Summary of special features for each valley: This section mainly identifies the botanical features within each valley. The distribution of birds, mammals and invertebrates is either variable or unknown, and so has been covered only in a general sense in the section on species requirements. However, where there is obvious bird interest concentrated within particular valleys, this has been identified. The botanical section provides a summary analysis of the fen vegetation resource survey and considers the relative importance of fen vegetation in a local and national context. A summary of the chemical variables of the soils for each valley has also been included. Ant valley Bure valley Muckfleet valley Thurne valley Waveney valley Yare valley The fen resource for the future: Identifies aims and objectives to restore fens to favourable nature conservation state Environmental constraints and opportunities - Using the fen management strategy: - During the fen vegetation resource survey, chemical variables of the substratum associated with various plant communities were measured. The purpose of these measurements was to provide some indication of the importance of substrate to the plant communities.

  • Norfolk Through a Lens
    NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service 2 NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service History and Background The systematic collecting of photographs of Norfolk really began in 1913 when the Norfolk Photographic Survey was formed, although there are many images in the collection which date from shortly after the invention of photography (during the 1840s) and a great deal which are late Victorian. In less than one year over a thousand photographs were deposited in Norwich Library and by the mid- 1990s the collection had expanded to 30,000 prints and a similar number of negatives. The devastating Norwich library fire of 1994 destroyed around 15,000 Norwich prints, some of which were early images. Fortunately, many of the most important images were copied before the fire and those copies have since been purchased and returned to the library holdings. In 1999 a very successful public appeal was launched to replace parts of the lost archive and expand the collection. Today the collection (which was based upon the survey) contains a huge variety of material from amateur and informal work to commercial pictures. This includes newspaper reportage, portraiture, building and landscape surveys, tourism and advertising. There is work by the pioneers of photography in the region; there are collections by talented and dedicated amateurs as well as professional art photographers and early female practitioners such as Olive Edis, Viola Grimes and Edith Flowerdew. More recent images of Norfolk life are now beginning to filter in, such as a village survey of Ashwellthorpe by Richard Tilbrook from 1977, groups of Norwich punks and Norfolk fairs from the 1980s by Paul Harley and re-development images post 1990s.

To the north the character area boundary is marked by the adjacent River Nar character area and to the west by the district boundary and a change in character to a more settled area of farmland and plantations. To the south and east the landform falls towards the River Wissey. Key Characteristics • Drift deposits of sand, clay and gravel create a gently undulating landscape, with topography ranging from 10-70m AOD across the character area. • Free draining sandy soils support the functional land cover of arable cultivation, pig farming and plantation woodland. • Ancient, contorted scots pine shelterbelts and screening belts of trees provide shelter to the easily eroded brown soils and are a prominent landscape feature. • At Cockleycley Heath and Swaffham Heath, the woodland plantation blocks create a visually prominent feature in the landscape. • The large scale arable fields are delineated by hedgerows in variable condition from occasional species rich intact hedgerows with hedgerow trees, thorn hedges and pine lines. • Breckland Farmland SSSI covers a large part of the character area – the cultivated land proving a habitat for stone curlew.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production.
