Sri Lanka: Kirinda Beach Resort & Yala NP Local Wildlife News Quiz ‘Page’ And Finally! Charity registered in England and Wales no. 207076 From The Group Leader Welcome to April, the Newsletter and, we can but hope, the real spring! With the lengthening days, further clement weather and multitude of Bank Holidays etc. in the offing you can but expect that there will be a great many birds and other wildlife reported, both locally and further afield, in the Newsletter – seemingly this having commenced already if this Newsletter is anything to go by! As always, this monthly hint at what’s happening in the world about us is entirely due to the contributions of those such as you, so, thank you and do please keep the sightings coming. They’re much appreciated and, I can but hope, I’m sure encourage others out in the field to make the most of that which we’re blessed with locally. With regard to sightings this Newsletter carries further news from the 2017 Big Garden Birdwatch, which I hope that you enjoyed participating in. The highlighted results, both national and local, I’m sure will give you food for thought. Once again, if you’ve any views on these inclusions or the Birdwatch please do let us know. The part played by the membership annually in this is incredible – I wonder just how many observers have taken part, how many hours they’ve put in and how many birds they’ve seen in the 39, yes 39, years of the Birdwatch? A little something for you to ponder on as your gardens appear to empty as the residents become ever more heavily involved in their breeding activities. The months of May and June are often the busiest for many birds, both resident and those freshly-arrived from the south, and it’s no different for many of those that find themselves attracted to their comings and goings. The first song of the Cuckoo and Nightingale, the first long-streamered Swallow moving overhead, the finding of an exquisite Long-tailed Tit nest, an unexpected Osprey* visiting a local ‘fishery’, the churring of a Nightjar or ‘tsikking’ of a roding Woodcock, Longparish here we come, an out-of-place pair of Bee-eater, the display flight of Little Ringed Plover over local gravel pits, drake Mandarin exposing themselves on a local pond, and so on; there’s just so much to look forward to in the coming weeks and months, and who knows just how much of it will we experience during the Evening Walks and Outdoor Meetings Programmes. There’s only one way to find out. So, I look forward to seeing you out on a trip or two, or more! Finally, all the very best for the coming ‘holiday’, when I hope that you find the time to enjoy both the local wildlife and the opportunity to get-together with family and friends. A Happy Easter to you and yours. Peter E. Hutchins * Been there, done it!

Geoff Sharp Secretary 6 Big Garden Birdwatch Produces Large Numbers Of Winter Visitors Close to half a million people joined in the world's largest garden wildlife survey, counting more than eight million birds during the 38th RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. The event held over the last weekend in January revealed an explosion in the number of recorded sightings of Waxwings. These attractive-looking birds appear in numbers in British gardens in winter once every seven years or so, when the berry crop fails in their native Scandinavia. This is known as an 'irruption', and results showed that Waxwings were seen in around 11 times more gardens in 2017 compared to the last couple of years, with sightings as far west as Wales and Northern Ireland. Weather conditions leading up to the event meant that this year British gardens were treated to a range of different visitors.

  • Greening Wildlife Documentary’, in Libby Lester and Brett Hutchins (Eds) Environmental Conflict and the Media, New York: Peter Lang
    Morgan Richards (forthcoming 2013) ‘Greening Wildlife Documentary’, in Libby Lester and Brett Hutchins (eds) Environmental Conflict and the Media, New York: Peter Lang. GREENING WILDLIFE DOCUMENTARY Morgan Richards The loss of wilderness is a truth so sad, so overwhelming that, to reflect reality, it would need to be the subject of every wildlife film. That, of course, would be neither entertaining nor ultimately dramatic. So it seems that as filmmakers we are doomed either to fail our audience or fail our cause. — Stephen Mills (1997) Five years before the BBC’s Frozen Planet was first broadcast in 2011, Sir David Attenborough publically announced his belief in human-induced global warming. “My message is that the world is warming, and that it’s our fault,” he declared on the BBC’s Ten O’Clock News in May 2006. This was the first statement, both in the media and in his numerous wildlife series, in which he didn’t hedge his opinion, choosing to focus on slowly accruing scientific data rather than ruling definitively on the causes and likely environmental impacts of climate change. Frozen Planet, a seven-part landmark documentary series, produced by the BBC Natural History Unit and largely co-financed by the Discovery Channel, was heralded by many as Attenborough’s definitive take on climate change. It followed a string of big budget, multipart wildlife documentaries, known in the industry as landmarks1, which broke with convention to incorporate narratives on complex environmental issues such as habitat destruction, species extinction and atmospheric pollution. David Attenborough’s The State of the Planet (2000), a smaller three-part series, was the first wildlife documentary to deal comprehensively with environmental issues on a global scale.

  • Basingstoke Inns, Breweries and Public Houses 1600 - 2015
    BASINGSTOKE INNS, BREWERIES AND PUBLIC HOUSES 1600 - 2015 Basingstoke Inns 1600 – 1850 Basingstoke was an important trading centre and staging post from medieval times until the 19th century. Its position on the junction of the Great Western Road between London and the West Country and the roads from Portsmouth and Southampton to the North, meant that it needed several great inns to cater for the travellers, traders and customers who came to the town. The inns of Basingstoke provided overnight accommodation for those who were journeying over long distances, hospitality for those who came from afar to trade in cloth, and refreshment for the farmers and others who visited the weekly markets. There were many more ale houses which were smaller and probably served a more local clientele In 1622 a record of the amount of malt that was brewed in Basingstoke listed five inns - the Angel, the Bell, the Chequers, the George and the Maidenhead - and 15 alehouses that were brewing beer.1 In 1636, the Bell, Maidenhead and George were recorded in a London publication.2 The landlord of the Bell was John Crosse who died in 1625 in which year the Bell had seven main bedrooms, along with four other rooms which had beds in them, including the servants’ chamber. His goods included 43 oz of silver plate as well as pewter weighing 234 lb.3 In 1631, Thomas Miles, tapster of the Bell, paid a shilling to sit in the Tapster’s Seat in the Gallery of St Michael’s Church.4 The Bell was where the marquis of Winchester was kept after his defeat at the siege of Basing House before being moved to the Tower of London.

  • Public Health and Public Services
    PUBLIC HEALTH AND PUBLIC SERVICES The Middle Ages and Early Modern Period In medieval and early modern Basingstoke, as elsewhere, the role of local government was extremely limited. The governing courts carried out a variety of roles, mainly concerned with regulating anti-social activities. Many were concerned with the smooth running of commerce, on which the everyday life of a town depended, dealing with small-scale debts, regulating the times and context of sales, the alehouse drinking hours, or dealing with violence.1 There were times when the court intervened in the condition of the roads, but not to take up general maintenance. Periodically, someone was presented for blocking the road with timber, refuse or even with a dead horse, or for having an adjacent ditch that was blocked and overflowing. Occasionally the state of a road meant that the whole tithing was ordered to repair it as with the road from Coppid bridge to the market in 1550.2 The steep slope up Church Street to the market place frequently became muddy during wet spells. When a causeway was built (probably for pedestrians), it was financed by a wealthy merchant, Sir James Deane, rather than the burgesses.3 Various people were given responsibility for the maintenance of the two bridges over the Loddon. Occasionally the tithing, the bailiffs, or an individual was required to repair one of the bridges as in 1560 and 1561.4 The river was both a natural source of water and used for drainage and refuse disposal. This led to regulations limiting the time in which dyers and leather workers could dump their effluent, restricting its use to the evening or the night time.5 In 1547, it resulted in the demand for the vicar to remove his latrine, which he built over the stream, ‘which is a great nuisance to all those who washed there’.6 Again this involved regulation rather than investment.

I also got sacked from my position at the BBC for claiming (on air) that her death had been the result of a conspiracy by Interflora, who seemed to have been the only people to benefit. Five years later when it all happened again I was less cynical, but refused to join in the grief for a lady of 101 to whom I was not related, despite the fact that she had lived an extraordinary life and achieved some extraordinary things. Over the lifespan (so far) of this magazine we have seen the deaths of many luminaries, and tried to celebrate their lives in these pages.
