Totals As Recorded and Accepted – March 2012 The UK400 Club Britain and Ireland Combined Life List Totals 4 North American White-winged Scoter offshore with drake Common Eiders, Murcar Links Golf Course/Blackdog Beach, Aberdeenshire, 11-16 June 2011 at least (Martin Collinson) Totals As Recorded and Accepted – March 2012 The UK400 Club Britain and Ireland Combined Life List Totals 5 North American White-winged Scoter in with pack of Velvet Scoters, Blackdog Beach, Aberdeenshire, 14 June 2011 (Tony Dixon) There had been just one report of North American White-winged Scoter in Britain – an adult drake seen in Loch Glencoul, Highland Region, on 26 June and 1 July 1994 (Ian Rowlands and his group). Then, last weekend, local birders Chris Gibbins, Paul Baxter and Hywel Maggs suspected that a first-summer ‘white-winged’ scoter was of this species. They obtained further views and more importantly photographic images of the bird on Sunday (12 June) and sent these off to Martin Garner and others for comment. It soon transpired that the moulting eider and scoter flock off Murcar Links Golf Course and Blackdog Beach in Aberdeenshire had in fact been harbouring a NORTH AMERICAN WHITE-WINGED SCOTER, along with 3-4 Surf Scoters, 92 Velvet Scoters and over 1,200 Common Scoters. It was a difficult identification by any standards and tested the quality, limits and skills of UK twitchers over preceding days. By Thursday 16 June, just over 200 birders had connected, much confusion surrounding some of the sightings, especially considering the closeness in appearance to some of the 11 first-summer Velvet Scoters on site. The critical features were the combined head and bill shape, with a ‘two-step’ appearance and a somewhat ‘Loch Ness Monster’ feel to the long neck and forward-slanting crown (see profile in above image). It also had an obviously pale greyish bill, with blackish feathering at the base of the bill and a slight protrusion and distinctly brownish flanks. The pale eye also stood out from the dark surroundings with no white flaring apparent. A double whammy for those fortunate to connect with the Irish STEJNEGER’S WHITE- WINGED SCOTER earlier in the year ! The bird was still present until at least 24 June…. Totals As Recorded and Accepted – March 2012 The UK400 Club Britain and Ireland Combined Life List Totals 6 Hartlepool Headland (Cleveland) ringer Chris Brown espied an odd passerine whilst checking for migrants following heavy rain and NE winds overnight on Monday 6 June. Initially believing it to be a Red-flanked Bluetail after it landed in one of his mistnets, he was amazed when Tom Francis suddenly exclaimed it was a WHITE-THROATED ROBIN – only the third to ever be recorded in Britain following singles on Skokholm Island (Pembs) and at the Calf of Man Bird Observatory (Isle of Man). News was instantaneously broadcast of this mammoth find, sparking off a major twitch that eventually attracted the attention of the mass media. The bird, once released, showed well for several hours on an adjacent bowling green but once the position of the sun went round, it relocated to the inaccessible Doctor’s Garden. Fortunately, with the aid of some hastily rounded up 10-foot ladders and some carefully positioned vans (see images below), all was not lost and by the end of that first day just over 1,000 observers had connected. In fact, to some surprise, the bird remained all week until Friday evening, and was commuting backwards and forwards between the private garden (thankfully opened up in the interim) and the two bowling greens. A total of 2,600 observers eventually went away happy. First-summer female White-throated Robin, Hartlepool Headland, 9 June 2011 (Chris Holt) Totals As Recorded and Accepted – March 2012 The UK400 Club Britain and Ireland Combined Life List Totals 7 Totals As Recorded and Accepted – March 2012 The UK400 Club Britain and Ireland Combined Life List Totals 8 A SLATY-BACKED GULL at Rainham Marsh RSPB Reserve on 13-14 January represented the first record for Britain and only the third for the Western Palearctic. It was photographed and discovered by Dominic Mitchell and on the second day successfully twitched by 33 observers, including Richard Millington, Ron Johns, LGRE, Steve Gantlett, Mel Billington, Neil Alford, Paul Whiteman, Chris Heard, Simon, Adam Wilson, Adrian & Dave Webb, Mick Frosdick and James Hanlon. The bird was subsequently relocated and over a period of several weeks to late February was connected with by the majority of Britain’s keenest twitchers. Adult Slaty-backed Gull, Pitsea Tip, Essex, February 2011 (Steve Arlow) NORTHERN HARRIERS After a lot of debate, Northern Harrier records were accepted from County Wexford and County Wicklow (two different juveniles), North Norfolk and Lewis – all four birds being present until February 2011. LESSER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE in East Norfolk An adult Lesser White-fronted Goose was present with Taiga Bean Geese in the Yare Valley at Cantley Marshes from late December until mid February 2011, where it appeared at the latter end of its stay to be paired up with one of the Taiga Beans in the flock and was perhaps part of a close-knit family group of 5 birds. It is likely that the bird was part of the Swedish/Finish reintroduction scheme but it cannot be proven and as such, the Advisory Panel of the UK400 Club has recommended full acceptance of this particular individual on to Category D. Totals As Recorded and Accepted – March 2012 The UK400 Club Britain and Ireland Combined Life List Totals 9 ORIENTAL TURTLE DOVE This delightful first-winter ORIENTAL TURTLE DOVE was initially discovered in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, in December 2010 before being relocated by Steve Akers at his garden feeding station at The Leys in February 2011. It remained until at least mid-May (photographs by David Hutton) Totals As Recorded and Accepted – March 2012 The UK400 Club Britain and Ireland Combined Life List Totals 10 This drake STEJNEGER’S SCOTER at Rossbeigh (County Kerry) was discovered in November 2009 but not correctly identified until reseen by Josh Jones and Oliver Metcalf in March 2011 (photographs by Paul Kelly and Stuart Piner) – the first record for Ireland and only the 5th for the Western Palearctic. **Please Note: Some observers’ names marked alongside by an asterisk (*) are those that have not supplied a life list total and are estimated. These observers have not completed a UK400 Club life list form and have never submitted their totals for publication.

  • Players Register A-Z 1895-2016
    WAKEFIELD TRINITY RLFC PLAYERS REGISTER A-Z 1895-2016 HERITAGE NUMBERS … The Story Initial Ideas Our initial ideas for the heritage numbers came about a couple of years ago (approx. 2012), after seeing the success of Queensland in Australia, with Warrington being the first English club to follow suit. Next Step Tremendous work had been carried out by a group of rugby league historians in the 1970s (RL Record Keepers’ Club) who pooled their knowledge, and attempted to record every game in the first one hundred years of rugby league (1895-1994). Trinity’s were completed and fortunately we acquired the records to every Trinity game, and players, since 1895 The First 100 Years The teams for the first one hundred years of Trinity’s rugby league days (1895-1994) were recorded and each new player to make his debut noted. On the very first game there were fifteen (numbers 1-15) and each debutant after this was given the subsequent number, in position order (full back, winger, centre etc.). This was checked, double-checked and triple checked. By 1994 we had found 1,060 names. The Next 20 Years … Part 1 The next twenty years, to the modern day, were a little more difficult but we researched the Trinity playing records through the excellent ‘Rothman’s Year Books’ written by the late Raymond Fletcher and David Howes. These books started in 1981 and finished in 1999. Again, each debutant was given the next heritage number The Next 20 Years … Part 2 After the ‘Rothmans’ books ceased publication we used the yearbooks published by ‘League Weekly’, which also noted every new player, signed throughout the season.

  • 1969 Challenge Cup Researched and Written by Allan Humphries 1St Round – Hunslet V Castleford, Saturday 25Th January
    1969 Challenge Cup Researched and written by Allan Humphries 1st Round – Hunslet v Castleford, Saturday 25th January The 1969 Challenge Cup campaign started in the same way as almost every other in the 1960s – with a wave of optimism and an away draw. Having become one of the best and most consistent teams in the league, Cas fans were ever optimistic that this year would be the year the team would reach Wembley for the first time since 1935. But in the Challenge Cup much depends on the luck of the draw, and Cas hadn’t been drawn at home since 1963. Over the last six years their hopes of reaching Wembley had ended in hard fought defeats at places such as St Helens, Warrington and Wakefield. And 1969 was no different as the First Round draw produced a 12th consecutive away tie, this time at Hunslet. Although Hunslet had reached the final as recently as 1965 they were now in decline and most experts were confident of a Castleford win. However, as Cas fans will know, nothing is ever straightforward. In a league match at Leeds the previous Boxing Day Alan Hardisty had suffered a broken arm, winger Alan Lowndes damaged ankle ligaments and Clive Dickinson suffered a head injury. Keith Hepworth was already out with a chest injury and Bill Bryant had been a long-term absentee with a broken leg. To make matters worse, winger Jack Austin then fractured his knee-cap in a home league game against Batley on 3rd January. Bryant had returned to action with the ‘A’ team and hopes were high that he would be fit for the cup tie.
