The West Midland Bird Report THE WEST MIDLAND BIRD REPORT No. 21 1954 Price Six Shillings Published September, 1955 The two photographs of Herons were taken at a Staffordshire heronry by Mr. Stanton Whitaker. One shows the female standing in the nest, having removed egg shells shortly after the young had hatched. The other shows the male incubating and crouching low as a Carrion-Crow flies over. Great havoc amongst eggs and young birds was wrought by Carrion-Crows and Grey Squirrels and in the main colony young were known to be reared from only three nests out of 42.

The water level at several waters was such as to cover all inviting stretches of mud and in consequence the autumn records for waders at places such as Bel vide were meagre. Alvecote Pools were similarly affected. Members should note incidentally that Belvide reservoir, formerly known as Bellfields, now reverts in the Report to its correct designation. Amongst the more unusual observations in 1954 may be mentioned : the concentration of some 350 Great Crested Grebes in August at Blithfield, where a colony of about 30 nests was located; two records of Red-breasted Mergansers ; 30 Bewick's Swans at 5 Cannock Reservoir; a Harrier in Birmingham ; Little Ringed Plovers visiting several localities; a Great Snipe at Whittington ; parties of six Spotted Redshanks and 14 Curlew-Sandpipers ; two Little Gulls at Blithfield ; concentrations of Black Terns in early May and August; and parties of Crossbills in February and May. Nor was all the interest concerned with the scarcer species. Two of our members, one a previous editor and the other one of our youngest members were able, separately, to report cases of a Robin using the same nest for more than one brood, which the " Hand- book " states as unusual. In contrast with 1953 there were no records of Quails and it will be interesting to see if this is the same in other parts of the country. Reference is made elsewhere to the intention of bringing up-to- date, for species breeding in the area, the 1950 West Midlands Bird Distribution Survey. Meanwhile, as in all Reports published since that date, the results of that survey have been kept in mind and care has been taken to include any observations which show a change in status in any particular locality. J. LORD. SECRETARY'S REPORT Although membership matters are in the province of the Treasurer, one landmark reached during 1954 should not be passed by without some comment. During the year we at last reached our goal of 500 members, and, although at the end of the year we had to strike off 25 through non-payment of subscriptions, we are again within striking distance of the target. Perhaps the most satisfactory feature was the fact that there was a net increase of 23 in our membership over the year—the largest yearly increase since 1950. Indoor Meetings Once again the average attendance at these meetings has increased. During 1954 the average was 156, as compared with 131 in the year before. This average gives rather a false impression, however, as it is inflated by the exceptional numbers, estimated at 450, who attended the Conversazione to celebrate our Silver Jubilee. At this meeting our guest speaker was Sir Landsborough Thomson, who gave a talk on Migration. Two colour films were shown, one made by the R.S.P.B. Film Unit and presented by George Edwards, and the other a Hungarian Film dealing with the birds of Lake Feherto in Southern Hungary. During the tea interval members were able to inspect displays illustrating various aspects of, and aids to, bird study, and we are indebted to Messrs. Cornish Bros. Ltd., Messrs. Harrison's (Opticians) Ltd., The 6 Greenrigg Works, the B.T.O. and the R.S.P.B. for so readily providing display material. The other meetings of the year were addressed by S. C. Porter, Dr. David Snow, Miss Katherine Tousey, Dr. Stuart Smith, H. G. Alexander, our President, and Dr. N. Tinberger. Another Hungarian film of bird and animal life along the Danube was shown in May. Once again we must thank all these people for keeping us so well informed and entertained. As in previous years, our Chairman has been wholly instrumental in arranging for and persuading these speakers to come. I am sure that members will agree that the standard of the talks and the films is as high as ever, in spite of the ever-increasing difficulty of finding something, or someone, new. The facilities given by the Art Gallery have greatly improved with the conversion of the old Ethnological Gallery into a first-class lecture room. We must thank the Director of the City of Birming- ham Museum and Art Gallery for the continued use of these facilities, and particularly for all the special assistance and space which was provided for our Jubilee Meeting. Bird Study During the year members co-operated in one new survey, sponsored by the B.T.O., namely the enquiry into the distribution of the Buzzard. A brief record of what was done appears else- where in this Report. For yet another year counts were made of the wildfowl at our principal reservoirs and pools. Here the advent of Blithfield has produced some interesting results. Although this reservoir started filling in 1952, it was not until the autumn of 1954 that duck appeared there in really large numbers. For instance, in December, 1953, there were about 1,200 duck present whereas in December, 1954, there were nearly 3,500. This increase has not been at the expense of the numbers on other waters in our area, for there were at least 11,000 duck at the 25 waters counted regularly as against about 6,500 in the same month for each of the previous three years. To this figure it is estimated that there are a further 2,000 duck on the smaller waters in our area not regularly counted for the survey. It is more convenient for observers living in the country within easy reach of the haunts of the birds concerned to participate in many of these enquiries, but of course, the vast majority of our members live in urban surroundings. It is, by the way, most gratifying to see the way our country members respond to appeals for information of this sort, and, in fact, the counts of duck from our more inaccessible waters come in month by month with exemplary regularity. In this respect, the help received in the Buzzard Survey is acknowledged elsewhere. 7 It is, however, time that a survey was launched in which it is necessary, and indeed desirable, for the participants to live in towns. Mr. Mirams, our Assistant Secretary, is working out the basis of an Urban Birds Survey, details of which should appear in one of the bulletins to be published in 1955. It would be premature to enlarge on the scheme here, and for the moment it will suffice to say that this survey will attempt to obtain a clear picture of the status of all the species found in the built-up areas, particularly those exemplified by Birmingham and the towns of the Black Country. We hope to find something of interest about the distribution of even such mundane species as the House-Sparrow and Starling. It is also time that the West Midland Bird Distribution Survey of 1950 was revised. Steps are being taken to put this into effect. The basis of this new survey will not be as general as the previous one. A list has been compiled of species whose distribution is very limited and restricted in an apparently unaccountable way (examples which come to mind are Woodlark, Stonechat and Red-backed Shrike) or those species which are expanding their range in our area.

  • Bells in and Around Birmingham: a Survey and History
    BELLS IN AND AROUND BIRMINGHAM: A SURVEY AND HISTORY (PART 2: LOCATIONS F-Y) Chris Pickford Version date: 29/09/2020 GAZETTEER FIRS ESTATE – see CASTLE BROMWICH, St.Wilfrid (R.C.), Firs Estate FOUR OAKS – All Saints, Walsall Road All Saints was built in 1908 to the designs of Edwin F. Reynolds, architect. Messrs. J. Barnsley and Sons were the builders. The foundation stone of the nave was laid on 4 April 1908 and the nave and temporary sanctuary were consecrated on 31 October 1908. Built in the Perpendicular style in brick, the church was intended to have a chancel, organ chamber, vestry and tower over the south porch of similar design. These were never built, but the chancel was rebuilt in a more substantial manner in the early 1960s and consecrated on 21 November 1965. The parish of Four Oaks was created from the parish of Hill in 1920. The portion of the church completed in 1908 had a stone bellcote over the chancel arch. The original bell – shown in a photograph of the church taken in 1943 – was about 20 inches in diameter and it was hung for swing chiming with a wooden stock. Having become unsafe, it was taken down in about 1965 when the chancel was added, but “went missing” shortly afterwards. There is now a loudspeaker in the bellcote. In 2000, however, a small sanctus bell was erected on outside wall on the south side of the sanctuary to mark the Millennium. It is a small bell with a diameter of 9 inches, inscribed “The Millennium Bell”.

It manifests itself in all aspects of the natural world; that of birds being no exception. Some of our residents are nesting earlier while many of our summer migrants are arriving earlier and staying longer, up to three weeks in some cases. It is not possible to show these relatively rapid changes using the average arrival and departure dates as they cover too long a period (over 70 years in some cases) so this year I have included the average dates over the previous eight years (not including the current year) – as used in New Birds of the West Midlands.

  • Bells in and Around Birmingham: a Survey and History
    BELLS IN AND AROUND BIRMINGHAM: A SURVEY AND HISTORY (PART 1: PREFACE, EXPLANATORY NOTES, INTRODUCTION, LOCATIONS A-E) Chris Pickford Version date: 29/09/2020 Preface Not long after I took up ringing in 1966 I began collecting information on the bells in Worcestershire (where I was at boarding school) and Warwickshire (where my parents lived). I date my first ‘serious’ visits to April 1968 since when I have been working intermittently on comprehensive surveys of bells in the two counties. The prospect of tackling a large urban area like Birmingham was always a rather daunting one and for a long time I skirted round it. However, when I took on the role of Bells Adviser to the Birmingham Diocesan Advisory Committee in 1987 I decided to pick up the challenge and during the course of the next couple of years managed to visit nearly every belfry in the area. The work originally led to the creation of a Diocesan Inventory (rather in the format of the present National Bells Register) and the updating of the Council for the Care of Churches’ preservation list for the Diocese. I stepped down as Bells Adviser in 1998 but in 2003-4 - following a return to the Midlands - I did some further survey work and wrote up the entire work in its present form. Since then I have tried to keep it up to date as best I can. I never intended this to be a book - and long ago gave up talking of books to replace Walters’s books on the Church Bells of Warwickshire (1910) Church Bells of Worcestershire (1925-31) - as this sort of study is too specialised (and too detailed in this form) for traditional publication.
