Staffordshire Committee ARM Blake, S C Brown, B R Dean, G H Green, J A Hardman, G R Harrison, R Maskew 4 Editor's Report The general appearance and layout of the annual report has remained unchanged for many years, which is certainly a tribute to its original design concept. With the 1970 issue however it has been decided to alter its presentation and size to bring it into line with the rest of the Club's printed literature which is already based on the international paper sizes adopted by the British Printing Industry. The way in which year after year the three counties of the Club's area continue to have first occurrences of visiting or breeding birds never fails to fascinate. Sheld-Ducks nested for the first time in Warwickshire at Hams Hall; Black-headed Gulls for the first time in Worcestershire at Wilden and, after some years of expectation, Little Ringed Plovers at Bittell; while Staffordshire had first breeding records for the Gadwall at Belvide and for the Oystercatcher at a north-eastern locality. As for first occurrences Worcestershire had its first Pectoral Sandpiper at Upton Warren; Staffordshire a White-winged Black Tern at Belvide, and shortly afterwards another at Blithfield, and a Pallas's Warbler at Weston- under-Lizard. The latter was an unexpected bonus in a ringer's mist-net along with the expected Goldcrests. Gales brought Manx Shearwaters, Gannets, Storm Petrels and a Leach's Petrel to the West Midlands. Garganey bred at Bodymoor Heath ; a Velvet Scoter was seen at Draycote; Long-tailed Ducks at four waters covering the three counties; the unusual number of 30 Scoters was seen at Belvide; and Brent Geese occurred at Brandon and Draycote. Osprey visits were more than ever before, birds being seen at Draycote, Brandon, Kyre Pool and Blithfield. 1970 was a Quail year with many reports and breeding records from Clent and Pershore. A Spotted Crake was seen at Brandon and Water-Rail bred at the same locality. 5 A Kentish Plover visited Blithfield; there were more Pectoral Sandpiper records than ever with birds at Hams Hall, Upton Warren, Belvide and Blithfield; Avocets were seen at Brandon and Blithfield. Arctic Skuas occurred at Cannock Reservoir and Blithfield and a Pomarine Skua at Belvide. Records of Glaucous and Iceland Gulls were many more than normal and all three counties were visited. White-winged Black Terns were seen at Draycote, Belvide and Blithfield; a Whiskered Tern at Blithfield; and there were inland nesting records for Common Terns from Bodymoor Heath and Branston. Only one report was received, from Kinver Edge, of a Long-eared Owl, but winter occurrences of Short-eared Owls were more than any previous year. A Bee-eater was seen at Redditch; a Golden Oriole in the Wyre Forest; there were more Raven reports than usual; Bearded Tits visited Brandon; Ring-Ouzels were plentiful on autumn passage; Rock-Pipits were above normal; and Water-Pipits were identified at Upton Warren, Cannock Reservoir, Blithfield and Belvide. The design and typography of the report has been executed by Clive Richards, who has also prepared the artwork for the various diagrams used in this issue. We are very grateful for his help. J Lord Secretary's Report Atlas of Breeding Birds of the West Midlands Perhaps the most notable event in 1970, from the West Midland Bird Club's point of view was the publication in April of the Atlas of Breeding Birds of the West Midlands; a venture of unprecedented proportions in the Club's history, not only from the financial aspect but most important in the area of members' participation. During the three years 1966, 1967, 1968, in which the survey took place, hundreds of observers spent many thousands of man hours watching and recording in the 77 10 km squares which comprise the survey area. The value of such a publication cannot be over emphasised and the West Midland Bird Club can be justly proud of this contribution to British ornithology, for not only has it provided a 6 work of considerable scientific value but it has also paved the way for the current National Breeding Bird Survey. European Conservation Year 1970 was of course also noteworthy as European Conservation Year and the WMBC, along with the many other kindred societies and organisations throughout Britain, engaged in activities to promote this very worthwhile enterprise. TheWMBC's contribution to ECY '70 closely followed the pattern of our previously successful involvement in the 1966 National Nature Week when we ran an extensive programme of field meetings; for ECY 1970 an even more ambitious series of field meetings were arranged over the period of May to early June. A special bulletin detailing these meetings was circulated to the press and through this media and other outlets, notably museums, libraries and local societies, information on our programme was widely disseminated. Particularly, thanks must go to the Birmingham City Libraries, the Birmingham Post and Mail and to the City Museum and Art Gallery for the assistance given in making our activities so generally known. The meetings arranged were as follows: Sunday May 3rd Brandon Marsh leader N Sills Saturday May 9th Alvecote leader G A Arnold Saturday May 9th Cannock Chase led by Stafford Branch Saturday May 9th Lickeys & Bittell leader A F Jacobs Saturday May 9th Tame Valley leader H T Lees Saturday May 16th Dowles Brook leader M M Campbell Saturday May 16th Sutton Park leader ARM Blake Saturday May 23rd Randan Wood leader F Fincher Saturday June 6th Trentham Park led by Stafford Branch The weather was kind and all meetings were well attended with an average of 40 people at each. The various leaders of these meetings are expressly thanked for making themselves available and the many other people who played their unsung part in ensuring our contribution to ECY 1970 was a success are also warmly thanked for their assistance. Display Panel Another feature of the Club's activities in 1970 often closely related to ECY '70 promotion was the use of display material to publicise our existence and proclaim the aims and activities of the WMBC at various functions held during the year. 7 During February and March the Midland Bank New Street Branch showed part of the Kodak/RSPB Flying Free Exhibition of bird photographs and by kind permission of the branch manager, the WMBC was able to display information about the club which evoked considerable interest. A more elaborate display was exhibited at the Packington Game Fair in April and much interest was shown in the main feature of the display which was the Club's Breeding Bird Survey related to the then just published Atlas. On this occasion we must thank Mr. Brown, the head keeper of the Earl of Aylesford's estate, where the fair was held, for the facilities made available to us. A more permanent display stand was prepared for use at the Pershore Festival and this formed part of a Nature Conservation Exhibition held during the period of the festival, 20th to 28th June. By all accounts this also evoked considerable interest and resulted in new members joining the WMBC. By arrangement with the Warwick Museum, we were able to display at the Royal Show, Stoneleigh, in July, and over the five days of the show a great deal of interest was expressed in the stand which formed part of a natural history section set-up in the Forestry Commission enclosure. Thanks are due to Miss Morris and the Warwick Museum staff for dealing with enquiries related to our part of the exhibit. We enjoyed further success with our display stand at the RSPB Coventry Branch open day, held in the Methodist Church Hall on October 26th. As well as interesting a great number of the visitors who attended the function (at least three new members were enrolled on the spot and a quantity of Atlas and annual reports were sold), the occasion also provided an opportunity to meet RSPB officials, particularly the Regional Organiser, Mr T Gunton, and useful discussions were held with a view to future possible collaboration between the RSPB and WMBC.
