  • Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR23 H (Mill Point East, Folkestone Harbour and Folkestone Pier)
    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR23 H (Mill Point East, Folkestone Harbour and Folkestone Pier) The coastline is one of the main features within the tetrad, over half of which is comprised by sea. There is a shingle beach which runs from the west end to Folkestone Pier and at low tide a rocky area (Mill Point) is exposed in the western section. Inland of this, in the western half of the tetrad, is the Lower Leas Coastal Park, which extends into the adjacent square. The Coastal Park, which is also known as ‘Mill Point’, has been regularly watched since 1988 and a total of 172 species have been recorded here (the full list is provided at the end of this guide). The Coastal Park was created in 1784 when a landslip produced a new strip of land between the beach and the revised cliff line. In 1828 the Earl of Radnor built a toll road providing an easy route between the harbour and Sandgate and the toll house survives as a private residence within the tetrad. Looking west along Folkestone Beach towards the Lower Leas Coastal Park Looking south-east along Folkestone Pier Either side of the toll road land was cultivated or grazed until in the 1880s pines and Evergreen (Holm) Oaks were planted, being soon followed by self-seeded sycamores, creating a coastal woodland with a lower canopy of hawthorn and ground cover, designed to appeal to visitors to the emerging resort of Folkestone. Access to this wooded area is provided by the toll road and several paths, including the promenade on the Leas which affords good views into the tree tops, where crests, flycatchers and warblers, including Yellow-browed Warbler on occasion, may be seen.

The study was carried out in Samandağ, Yayladağı, Altınözü, Reyhanlı, Kumlu, Kırıkhan and Antakya, mainly in a greenhouse belonging to Mustafa Kemal University, in which organic farming has been conducted without any pesticide applications. Infestation level of the pest was very high on leaves and fruits of tomato in each locality. In the greenhouse of the University, 9 parasitoid species from 4 families of Hymenoptera were obtained. The parasitoids were: Closterocerus clara (Szelenyi) (new record for Turkey), Ratzeburgiola christatus (Ratzeburg), R. incompleta Boucek, Baryscapus bruchophagi (Gahan) (Eulophidae); Brachymeria secundaria (Ruschka), Hockeria unicolor (Walker) (Chalcididae), Pteromalus intermedius (Walker) (Pteromalidae), and two species of Braconidae, Bracon hebetor Say and Bracon didemie Beyarslan. The rates of parasitism for the species were 37.0%, 4.2%, 2.8%, 0.7%, 0.7%, 1.1%, 0.7%, 1.1% and 7.0%, respectively. Distribution and host of the parasitoid species were given.

Firstly, I would like to register my and the Branch’s thanks to Pete Eeles for his support and enthusiasm for the branch during his time as chair, despite the pressures of a job that often saw him away from the country, and to the other members of the main committee for their support and enthusiasm over the past twelve months.

An annotated list of Momphidae, Batrachedridae, Stathmopodidae and Cosmopterigidae (Lepidoptera) collected on the Maltese Islands is provided. Sixteen species are recorded (1 Momphidae, 1 Batrachedridae, 1 Stathmopodidae, 13 Cosmopterigidae), one of them is new to the Maltese Islands and Europe: Bifascioides leucomelanellus (Rebel, 1917) and three of them are new to the Maltese Islands: Mompha subbistrigella (Haworth, 1828), Anatrachyntis badia (Hodges, 1962), and Ascalenia echidnias (Meyrick, 1891). Mompha subbistrigella (Haworth, 1828) and Eteobalea serratella (Treitschke, 1833) are mentioned as new for Sardinia. Key words. Lepidoptera, Momphidae, Batrachedridae, Stathmopodidae, Cosmopterigidae, Maltese Islands, new records. Introduction The Maltese Islands are a group of small, low-lying islands situated almost at the centre of the Mediterranean, from 35°48'28"to 36°0'0"N and 14°11'04" to 14°34'37"E. They are 92 km south of Sicily and 252 km north of the Libyan coast. The total area of the archipelago is 320 km/sq. The Maltese archipelago is composed of three inhabited islands, Malta, Gozo and Comino and a number of smaller, uninhabited islets and rocks. From the ecological point of view, the most important of these are Cominotto, Filfa, St.
