All contributions, from both residents and visitors to the county, in the form of records, papers, drawings and photographs are welcomed. All contributors are acknowledged in the report. These notes should assist you WHATif you wish RECORDS to contribute DO WE to WANT? the report. Due to the volume of records received, it is not possible to list every one in the report. The report is an edited summary of these records, aimed at highlighting the occurrence and status of each species in a particular year. All records, however, are . valuable and are archived in the DBC database, managed through the Dorset Environmental Records Centre, where they can be accessed by groups or individuals for future studies Please refer to ‘The Dorset List’, on pages 14 - 18, which lists the type of records requested for each species. Species requiring a full written description are marked with either (*) for national rarities, or (D) for birds which are rare or scarce in Dorset. Descriptions of national rarities will be forwarded to the British Birds Rarities Committee (BBRC), whilst records of locally rare or scarce birds will be assessed by the Dorset Records Panel (DRP). The Dorset Records Panel reserves the right to request further information in order to assess records, if necessary. This may include records of species not usually requiring a full written description if they are, for example, reported from an unusual location or time of ANDyear. WHEREUnsubstantiated FROM? records will not be published. all Records are welcomed from parts of the county. There is a natural bias towards coastal sites and nature reserves as they are excellent places to see birds. Many of these sites produce their own reports, which are incorporated into the Dorset Bird Report. Records away from these sites are often thin on the ground, so ‘local patch’ records and casual recording from less well-watched areas are very important. These enable us to gain as full a picture as possible of what is happening to Dorset’s birds. Many national surveys are carried out annually in the county as part of a wider picture of the UK’s bird life. A copy of any Dorset results would be greatly appreciated – the information will be added to our HOWdatabase. SHOULD I SEND MY RECORDS IN? Casual records and descriptions of rare and scarce birds can be e-mailed to the DBC at the dorsetbirdclub@hotmailfollowing address: .com This is also the correct address to send any local patch bird reports to, as well as any completed DBC spreadsheets. If you do not have access to e-mail, please send your records by post to the County Recorder. The address can be found on page 5 of this report. 6 Dorset Bird Report 2009 WHEN SHOULD I SUBMIT MY RECORDS? as soon after the sighting as possible Recordswww.bbrc.org.uk of birds requiring full written descriptions should be submitted .

The Agency Board decided to extend this consultation process to demonstrate its real commitment to openness and accountability by holding national AGMs in England and Wales and seven regional AGMs in September 1998. As well as being open to the public, people representing a wide range of interests are being invited to attend these events. The purpose of each AGM is to enable the Agency to report on its recent achievements, outline current work and consult on some of our key priorities. This feedback will be used in our future planning. To help this process we will present three national documents at our AGMs - our Annual Report and Accounts, Annual Corporate Plan, and first Environmental Report.

  • Dorset Seasearch: Annual Summary Report 2017
    Dorset Seasearch: Annual Summary Report 2017 The 2017 diving season was another busy one for Dorset Seasearch with ten days of Seasearch diving as well as three Seasearch Observer courses. Five diving days were lost to bad weather conditions: four week day Seasearch friendly dives from West Bay and one day of the Lyme Bay weekend in October. Altogether 52 divers took part in dives organised by Dorset Seasearch in 2017. The Dives Lyme Regis with Rob King on Blue Turtle. Four dives were achieved over a breezy weekend in June all within the zone covered by the Statutory Instrument (SI) for Lyme Bay which prohibits the use of mobile fishing gear within the area. Both days were sunny with a south-westerly swell running, just perceptible at diving depth and an increasingly strong breeze in the Sunday. Visibility in-water was good and diving conditions whilst in-water were pleasant. The first dive target was a boulder reef 9km southeast of Lyme Regis near the southern edge of the area closed to bottom towed gear (Lyme Bay SI) on a known chalk outcrop. The site had a diverse epifauna including Pink Sea Fans (Eunicella verrucosa) and a range of sponges, bryozoa and sea squirts. The second dive targeted a site a bit further inshore which revealed low-lying bedrock ledges separated by flat bedrock with a mobile sediment veneer of sand and gravel composed of stone and shell. Again a diverse fauna was reported with Eunicella verrucosa represented by a range of different aged colonies as well as the nationally scarce branching sponge Adreus fascicularis.

  • Swanage and Portland: Historical
    1 Swanage and Portland: Historical IN THE BEGINNING On the 6th of January 1786 two men scaled the cliff near Seacombe. Unlike climbers today this pair were not driven by challenge but by necessity. They were crew of the Dutch East Indiaman Halsewell, which had been blown onto the rocks by a violent gale. They raised help and, although the captain’s daughters perished, being too terrified to leave their cabin, another eighty of the ship’s complement of 240 were saved from the sea. One of their number was coloured and therefore a rare sight for the insular locals. Unfortunately, he was not to survive the short journey to shelter up at Worth Matravers; the stile where he died is still known as Black Man’s Gate. Interest in the considerable extent of limestone along the Dorset coastline near Swanage can be traced back to the obscure origins of the cliffstone trade in medieval times. Serious quarrying activity dates from about 1700 and continued up to the mid-nineteenth century. It was during this period that the platforms at Tilly Whim, Dancing Ledge, Winspit, etc. were cut, a legacy later to be enjoyed by the climbing fraternity and in those days put to extensive use by the smugglers whose affairs were rife all along the Dorset coast. Quarrying of the cliffs themselves finally ceased with the closing of Seacombe in the 1920s and of Winspit in the 1950s. For the first documented ascent of any part of the Swanage cliffs other than for commercial gain, we have to go back to the latter part of the nineteenth century, the time of the Empire and the great Victorian pioneers, when famous alpinists such as Mummery, Tyndall, Whymper, and the notorious Aleister Crowley were practising their alpine climbing on the chalk precipices of Beachy Head and at St Margaret’s Bay.

  • 191010 Appendix A, Item 18. PDF 2 MB
    Appendix A Consultation on Proposed Dog- Related Public Spaces Protection Order There are a number of existing dog-related Public Spaces Protection Orders (‘PSPOs’) across the Dorset Council area. These were introduced by the former District and Borough Councils which have now become part of the new unitary Dorset Council. Some of these Orders will soon naturally expire and the council is taking the opportunity to consolidate them into one. The intention is that the new Order will provide clarity and consistency across the area for dog owners and non-owners alike about dog controls on public open spaces. We are required to consult with the public and other stakeholders on the content of new or revised PSPOs. This may see changes to the previous Orders dependent upon the views expressed. Councillors will make the final decision on the controls to be included in the new Order, having regard to the feedback received during the consultation. The views of residents, visitors and businesses are therefore very important and a period of consultation will run for 12 weeks finishing at 4.30pm on Friday ADD DATE. To have your say, please complete this short survey, it should take about 15 minutes or less for the 34 questions related to the proposal and a further 6 ‘about you’. Results will be published on the consultation tracker after the closing date. Information on the current dog-related Public Spaces Protection Orders is available to view at: East Dorset: https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/environmental-health/dog-warden-service/dog-control-

  • Dorset Opera News | Spring 2013 | Issue 16 DO News | Spring 2013
    THE DORSET OPERA MMXIII The Flying Dutchman The 2013 Dorset Opera Festival celebrates the bi-centenary of Wagner’s birth with the exhilarating and stirring Flying Dutchman. At just 2 hours 20 minutes in length, this is the way to ease yourself into Wagner, and tickets are still available. This is early Wagner - akin to Beethoven in style. It presages what is to come in compostion terms, but it is nowhere near the complex, climactic, interwoven structures that we have come to expect with his later work that culminates in the Ring Cycle. Go to YouTube and play the Dutchman overture; you’ll be hooked! Better still, treat yourself to a sneak preview of American Mark S. Doss singing the Dutchman’s aria from the Bologna production in which he appeared earlier this year. Enter this link http://bit.ly/YP0fk7 into your browser, turn up the volume, sit back and be stunned by the exciting dark, bass quality of his voice. Mark is our Dutchman! Partnering him is a soprano well known to Dorset Opera Festival audiences: Lee Bissett. She had enormous success singing the title role in our production of Tosca two years ago. Having already conquered Wagner’s Sieglinde to great critical acclaim, she will bring beauty and vocal power to the role of Senta. Controlling the vast forces of our first foray into Wagner is Dorset Opera Festival music director Jeremy Carnall. Alongside director Paul Carr, he will wring every thrilling nuance out of this score. And Jeremy has some news of his own - take a look through your bumper edition of DONews to glean more..
