Lbr 2008 Front Matter London Natural History Society The Society publishes ornithological and other natural history records for the area within 20 miles of St Paul’s Cathedral. As well as Ornithology, other interests in natural history are catered for through the Society's Sections which record and study the major groups of flora and fauna, and the habitats in which they are found. Meetings organised by each Section are open to all members. New members, beginners and experts alike, are welcomed. An extensive programme of talks and field meetings, to which visitors are welcome, is provided throughout the year. As well as the annual London Bird Report, the Society publishes a journal, The London Naturalist, each year and its Newsletter and Bulletin of the London Bird Club every quarter. Members have access to a large lending and reference library of natural history books and can join one or more of several reading circles which circulate many natural history journals at a fraction of the cost of subscribing direct.

INTRODUCTION This is the second London Bird Report to be published in 2011, so we are making progress with the backlog of reports. Hopefully this will continue in 2012. By the time you read this we will be working on LBR 2009 and LBR 2010, so if you have any 2010 records that you haven’t already sent to us, please send them in as soon as you can. In this report we have made changes to the Contributors List and to the Gazetteer of Sites, both of which are explained in those sections. We have also combined the Checklist of Birds of the London Area with the Guide for Contributors of Records. Any comments you have on these changes would, as always, be welcome. We have tried in this report to give more emphasis to the commoner birds of London, particularly where their status appears to be changing. We would particularly welcome more records or observations on commoner birds. Please send any comments you have on the report to me; my contact details are below. As is our normal practice, this report of records for 2008 also lists amendments from previous years. There were rather more than usual this time, due to a couple of problems we had in producing LBR 2007. Due to pressures on space, we have included some amendments within the Systematic List but held others over to LBR 2009. Mark Pearson, our Middlesex Recorder, moved out of London in 2011 and Sean Huggins has taken over this role. Our thanks to Mark for all the work he did for us and best wishes for the future. 6 LONDON BIRD REPORT NO. 73 FOR 2008 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS On behalf of the London Natural History Society, I would like to thank the hundreds of individuals and organisations who have contributed records to this report. I would also like to thank all those who helped with the production of the report: the 19 authors of the Systematic List (listed above); Jan Wilczur (JPPW) and Roy Woodward (RKW) for their illustrations; all the photographers who kindly donated their photos; and Andrew Verrall who proof-read the text. Thanks also to all the members of the Editorial Board. I am particularly grateful to all the Recorders, who, in addition to the time- consuming tasks of inputting all the data for their area, checked the species accounts in the Systematic List and provided comments and corrections. Thanks also to Thames Water for the many courtesies extended to our members, and to the following organisations for their generous help in the exchange of records: BirdGuides British Birds Rarities Committee British Trust for Ornithology Buckinghamshire Bird Club East London Birders Forum Hertfordshire Natural History Society Kent Ornithological Society Londonbirders Yahoo group Surrey Bird Club Pete Lambert, Chair of the Editorial Board, September 2011 7 Rarities Committee and Recorders Rarities Committee Chairman Bob Watts Members: J. Archer, R. Bonser, A.V. Moon, N. Tanner and A.S.M. Self. LNHS London & Sector Bird Recorders: London Recorder Andrew Self Inner London Richard Bonser Essex Roy Woodward Herts Joan Thompson Middlesex Sean Huggins Bucks Andrew Moon Kent John Archer Surrey Nick Tanner For a list of the current Bird Recorders and their contact details, see http://www.lnhs.org.uk/ornithology1.htm under Bird recorders for the LNHS area. 8 LONDON BIRD REPORT NO. 73 FOR 2008 Recording Arrangements The area covered by this Report, conventionally known as ‘the London Area’, is the area within 20 miles of St Paul’s Cathedral. The Area covers the whole of Greater London and parts of Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. However, for continuity of recording, Watsonian vice-counties are used in this Report instead of the present administrative areas (but note that vice-counties 18 and 19, South and North Essex, are lumped together as Essex).

  • Walks Programme: July to September 2021
    LONDON STROLLERS WALKS PROGRAMME: JULY TO SEPTEMBER 2021 NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING COVID-19: Following discussions with Ramblers’ Central Office, it has been confirmed that as organized ‘outdoor physical activity events’, Ramblers’ group walks are exempt from other restrictions on social gatherings. This means that group walks in London can continue to go ahead. Each walk is required to meet certain requirements, including maintenance of a register for Test and Trace purposes, and completion of risk assessments. There is no longer a formal upper limit on numbers for walks; however, since Walk Leaders are still expected to enforce social distancing, and given the difficulties of doing this with large numbers, we are continuing to use a compulsory booking system to limit numbers for the time being. Ramblers’ Central Office has published guidance for those wishing to join group walks. Please be sure to read this carefully before going on a walk. It is available on the main Ramblers’ website at www.ramblers.org.uk. The advice may be summarised as: - face masks must be carried and used, for travel to and from a walk on public transport, and in case of an unexpected incident; - appropriate social distancing must be maintained at all times, especially at stiles or gates; - you should consider bringing your own supply of hand sanitiser, and - don’t share food, drink or equipment with others. Some other important points are as follows: 1. BOOKING YOUR PLACE ON A WALK If you would like to join one of the walks listed below, please book a place by following the instructions given below.

  • 1 Conservation Casework Log Notes March 2018
    CONSERVATION CASEWORK LOG NOTES MARCH 2018 The GT conservation team received 136 new cases in England and TWO cases in Wales during February, in addition to ongoing work on previously logged cases. Written responses were submitted by the GT and/or CGTs for the following cases. In addition to the responses below, 47 ‘No Comment’ responses were lodged by the GT and 5 by CGTs in response to planning applications included in the weekly lists. Site County GT Ref Reg Proposal Written Response Grade ENGLAND Bristol Local Plan Avon E17/1570 n/a LOCAL PLAN Bristol Local Plan CGT WRITTEN RESPONSE 31.03.2018 Review We are grateful for the opportunity to comment on this Local Plan Review. As previously notified to you, The Gardens Trust, which is the statutory consultee on matters concerning registered parks and gardens, is now working closely with County Gardens Trusts, and the responsibility for commenting on Local Plan Reviews in this context has now passed to Avon Gardens Trust. The Trust notes that Policy BCS22 Conservation and the historic environment in the Core Strategy of June 2011, and Policy DM31 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies of July 2014 are proposed to be retained. The Local Plan Review consultation document makes a number of strategic proposals, for example to meet housing need, to provide new transport infrastructure, and in respect of employment, land. Such proposals may, depending on location, detailed siting and design, have an impact on registered and unregistered historic parks and gardens. 1 The Trust does not seek to comment on such proposals at the present time, but would expect to be engaged in its role as statutory consultee as and when the details of such proposals are known.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

  • Spaces Wild, London Wildlife Trust
    SPACES WILD championing the values of London’s wildlife sites Protecting London’s wildlife for the future Foreword London is a remarkably green city supporting a wide diversity of habitats and species. Almost half of its area is blue and green space, and almost a fifth – covering over 1,500 different sites - is of sufficient value to biodiversity to be identified worthy of protection. These wildlife sites consist of much more than nature reserves, ranging from wetlands to chalk downs that are often valued by the local community for uses other than habitat. They have been established for almost 30 years, and as a network they provide the foundations for the conservation and enhancement of London’s wildlife, and the opportunity for people to experience the diversity of the city’s nature close to hand. They are a fantastic asset, but awareness of wildlife sites – the Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs) – is low amongst the public (compared to, say, the Green Belt). There is understandable confusion between statutory wildlife sites and those identified through London’s planning process. In addition the reasons why SINCs have been identified SINCs cover 19.3% of the are often difficult to find out. With London set to grow to 10 million people by 2030 the pressures on our wildlife Greater London area sites will become profound. I have heard of local authorities being forced to choose between saving a local park and building a school. Accommodating our growth without causing a decline in the quality of our natural assets will be challenging; we have a target to build an estimated 42,000 homes a year in the capital merely to keep up with demand.

  • Colne River Valley
    1. Colne River Valley Key plan Description The Colne River Valley Natural Landscape Area follows the Colne Within the northern Colne Valley, the settlement pattern is relatively River north to south on the western fringe of Greater London, from sparse, although there is a corridor of villages along the Grand Union Stocker’s Lake near Batchworth in the north to Heathrow Airport in Canal. To the south the valley is more densely developed than the the south. Between Batchworth and Uxbridge the valley floor consists north, with industrial towns such as Uxbridge, Yiewsley and West of a series of lakes and reservoirs, edged by ridges and plateaux within Drayton and London’s largest airport, Heathrow. The historic cores the neighbouring Ruislip Plateau (NLA 2) and the Hayes Gravels (NLA which remain within the settlements of Harefield, Uxbridge, West 10). As the River Colne meanders south and the Grand Union Canal Drayton and Harmondsworth suggest how settlement patterns have heads east, the topography gradually levels; historically the River evolved within this area. Despite the intense residential and industrial Colne would have meandered wider here, resulting in an extensive development around Uxbridge, the linear open space corridors area of deep silt soil across an exceptionally wide floodplain. The that follow the River Colne, Grand Union Canal and the lakes that Colne River Valley has been and continues to be important both as a they support are dominant landscape features.

On the way to Kew Gardens for the ice skating today the 28th December on the Chiswick roundabout, I spotted a Red Admiral flying past. Then while waiting for the children to get their boots on at the ice rink another Red Admiral flew past, probably disturbed from it's hibernation from the massive influx of people, or the fact it was a very warm day for this time of year? If this is the result of global warming, well it's not all bad!! Helen George My father told me that he saw a butterfly in Bronte Paths, Stevenage this morning. I assume it was a Red Admiral (just hope it wasnt a wind blown leaf!. It was very warm today, with lots of insects and one or two bees in my garden but despite all my attention no butterflies appeared - Phil Bishop Tuesday 26th December I enjoyed today even more with a totally unexpected Red Admiral flying along the eaves of my house and then the neighbours, at about 10.45 this am - weather was grey, dull and 5C.
