Unfortunately, most of this is not readily accessible as it exists mainly on record cards. With the increasing threat to our countryside and wildlife the need for site-based data is becoming extremely important and such data is also financially very valuable too. Whilst our Annual Reports can often be used to tell you where a given species can be found, they can’t readily tell you what species are to be found at a given locality. Our data needs to be computerised. To this end the Staffordshire Branch of the Club has been trialling a computer database on which to store its records. The software chosen, MapMate, is widely used and has been adopted by RSPB. Whilst data on record slips has to be entered into the system by hand, many recorders are now using their own computers to store their records and this data can be imported readily into MapMate. In addition, the BTO has launched its BirdTrack website http://www.bto.org.uk/birdtrack/ where birders can enter their sightings and get personalised lists, distribution maps etc at the click of a mouse. More importantly for us is the fact that data from this database can be downloaded by County Recorders and, in Staffordshire’s case, imported directly into its MapMate database. It really is a win-win situation. Data for compiling the Annual Report can then be sorted by date, locality etc, making it easier to write the species accounts. In addition, you can generate first and last dates, lists of localities and recorders and you can also produce distribution maps too. Some of these appear elsewhere in this report. From a conservation point of view, should a planning enquiry require information on the birdlife of a site, it can be generated quickly from the database. In Staffordshire’s case, all the bird data is fed into the county’s Ecological Record Centre (SERC) where it can be combined with data on other fauna and flora. Sensitive records are, of course, treated as such. Thanks to SERC, an exciting future development will be the ability to view distribution maps of all bird species, except those of a sensitive nature, on-line – of which more in a future Club Bulletin. Following Staffordshire’s success, it is hoped to roll this database out across the other counties in due course. When I first started ringing our “bible” was, and still is, Svensson’s Identification Guide to European Passerines. The early editions had no English names so one soon got to know the Latin or scientific names which, at the time, appeared to be fairly stable; but no longer! In 2006 the British Ornithologists Union announced a number of changes. The tits, for so long associated with the genus Parus, have now been split up. They always were in separate subgenera but these have now been raised to the rank of genus. So, as far as species in our region are concerned, 4 Great remains in Parus, Blue is in Cyanistes, Coal is in Periparus and Willow and Marsh are in Poecile. Other changes include Little Tern moving from Sterna to Sternula, Caspian Tern from Sterna to Hydroprogne, Red-rumped Swallow from Hirundo to Cecropis and Richard’s Pipit now becomes Anthus richardi. Of perhaps more interest to birders is that the BOURC have finally split the Herring Gull complex into Herring Gull Larus argentatus (including the races argentatus, argenteus and for the time being cachinnans and smithsonianus), Yellow-legged Gull Larus michahellis (with races michahellis and atlantis) and Armenian Gull Larus armenicus. You will note that they still have Caspian Gull L. a. cachinnans under Herring Gull. We, however, like all other publications are treating it as a full species. While dealing with gulls; BBRC will not consider records of ‘Baltic’ Gull Larus fuscus fuscus unless they were ringed in a colony of that taxon. There are two new features in the Report this year. One is the addition of the Wetland Bird Survey (WeBS) counts to the tables of selected species. Normally we just include the maxima for the month but as WeBS counts are done on the same day, they give a good indication of the population at a given point in time. Secondly, if you’ve ever been frustrated trying to find a particular species account, then the addition of an index to the bird species will be welcome! Acknowledgements I would like to thank all those who helped with this year’s report. I am especially grateful to all those who contributed records, especially those sending in valuable census data; to Bert Coleman for a fascinating Ringing Report; to Jim Winsper for his review of the Birds and Weather, to photographers and artists Andy Warr, Alan Dean, John Harris, Phil Jones, Dave Kelsall, Nick Martin, Nick Smith, Steve Nutall, Dave Taylor and Rob Wardle for making their work available; and above all to the County Recorders and their teams: Warwickshire: Jonathan Bowley Worcestershire: Andy Warr, Brian Stretch, Terry Hinett, Gavin Peplow and Steve Whitehouse Staffordshire: Gilly Jones, Neil Carter, Eric Clare, John Gulley, Ray Jennett, Andy Lawrence, Nick Pomiankowski, Bernard Smith, and Bill Low. West Midlands: Tim Hextell. I would like to thank Mike Gaydon of Healeys, Jim Winsper, and especially my wife Sue, for their support and help during the compilation of this report. Distribution maps used in the report have been produced with MapMate® using Digital Map Data © Bartholomew 2004. David Emley 5 Submission of Records All contributors are asked to follow the guidelines set out in the booklet A Checklist of the Birds of the West Midlands and a Guide to Status and Record Submission (second edition 1989). A copy of these can be found on our website http://www.westmidlandbirdclub.com. All records should be sent to the relevant County Recorder as soon as possible after observation. Concise, though adequate, field descriptions (including how the species was identified, the circumstances of the sighting and the observer’s experience of the species) should accompany records of all species – marked as A in the Details column of the checklist. An exception to this are geese which are known to be of feral origin. In addition, descriptions are required for all out-of-season migrants, unusual hybrids and scarce sub-species, including Kumlien’s Gull, Scandinavian Rock Pipit, Blue- headed and other flava race wagtails, White Wagtail (autumn only), Black-bellied Dipper, Greenland Wheatear and Chiffchaff races. The lack of an acceptable description may lead to records being rejected. Records should be sent to the appropriate County recorder: Warwickshire JJ Bowley 17 Meadow Way, Fenny Compton, Southam, Warwickshire CV47 2WD Worcestershire A Warr 14 Bromsgrove St, Worcester WR3 8AR Staffordshire Mrs GN Jones 4 The Poplars, Lichfield Road, Abbots Bromley, Rugeley, Staffs WS15 3AA West Midlands TC Hextell 39 Windermere Road, Handsworth, Birmingham B21 9RQ Ringing Secretary All ringing recoveries should be sent to: A E Coleman, 67 Park Lane, Bonehill, Tamworth, Staffs B78 3HZ. Records can be sent electronically as Excel, Word or RTF files or on record slips. These are available from the Club Secretary, (address inside back cover) at indoor meetings or a copy can be downloaded from our website: http://www.westmidlandbirdclub.com/. Another alternative that is proving very popular is the BTO’s BirdTrack website http://www.bto.org.uk/birdtrack/. Data entered here can be accessed, with permission, by the County Recorder, thus obviating the need to send in slips etc. D W Emley, 23 Leacroft, Stone, Staffs ST15 8GF 6 Birds and Weather in 2003 Our growing knowledge of the wild birds that we study, particularly that concerning scientific work and the genetics of families, is adding another fascinating, yet at times complex, dimension to our everyday birding challenges. The ability of many amongst us to make positive and therefore critical identification of sub-species has opened up a whole new world for many more birders to pursue this particular aspect of study. This knowledge has resulted in the splitting of some genera, in particular, Larus gulls, Phylloscopus warblers (the Chiffchaffs) and certain Carduelis finches (the Redpolls). Is this merely the tip of the proverbial iceberg and will our growing knowledge result in the splitting of a wider variety than those previously mentioned? The rate at which our knowledge grows concerning sub-species would certainly indicate that this is highly likely. One thing that is certain, our identification ability in the field concerning such birds has lead to an increase in bird records and a new demand upon those who assess and ultimately write up such reports.

  • The Walk Starts and Ends at Wetton Mill, Where There Are Public Toilets and a Café
    Wetton Mill Circular Let's Go Peak District Route Summary This circular walk is simply stunning, offering some of the very best views of the Staffordshire Peak District countryside. Route Overview Category: Walking Length: 7.700 km / 4.81 mi Last Modified: 18th July 2019 Difficulty: Medium Rating: Unrated Surface: Moderate Date Published: 18th July 2019 Description This circular walk is simply stunning, offering some of the very best views of the Staffordshire Peak District countryside. Starting at the lovely Wetton Mill (SK 09593, DE6 2AG), it follows the course of the Manifold Way past spectacular limestone cliffs, through shady woodland and alongside the River Manifold, before heading quite gently uphill to some of the most fantastic and far-reaching views in the area. It emerges in the pretty village of Wetton at roughly the halfway point, where there are public toilets and a dog-friendly pub that serves good food and real ales. From Wetton the route follows field tracks down into the hidden Manifold Valley, a peaceful haven for wildlife, before returning to the start point. This is a walk of 5 miles. The terrain is not particularly challenging although there are uneven stretches on some of the field paths. There are both stiles and squeeze stiles, which may prove difficult for large or less agile dogs. The walk starts and ends at Wetton Mill, where there are public toilets and a café. Children of all ages can play in a shallow stream there too, and explore prehistoric cave systems. Allow 4-5 hours to complete this walk at a moderate pace, allowing for rest stops to take in the views.

  • Iron Age Hillforts Survey (Northamptonshire): Second Stage Investigations: Iss
    Iron Age Hillforts Survey (Northamptonshire): Second Stage Investigations: Iss. 2, Mar-2016 Iron Age Hillforts Survey (Northamptonshire): Analysis of the Individual Hillfort Reports Synopsis: In the autumn of 2013, CLASP undertook to assist national teams working to compile an “Atlas of British Iron Age Hillforts” (jointly led by focus groups of senior archaeologists at the universities of Oxford and Edinburgh), by carrying out surveys of all known prehistoric hillforts in Northamptonshire. The results of these Northamptonshire surveys naturally feed forward into the national hillforts survey – but in addition, the CLASP team has recognised that the results for Northamptonshire are themselves capable of interpretation and analysis on a local basis. Resulting from this detailed research on each of the individual sites, it gradually became clear that it would be instructive to carry out further analytical investigations. This paper therefore aims to explore, analyse and summarise such of these investigations as could be carried out by desktop analysis and study of the individual survey reports. Five ‘metrics’ are first identified, by which the hillforts can be assessed; and case-study analysis is then applied to selected groups of the hilforts, incorporating a great deal of further data drawn from the wider landscape area around the hillforts, in order to study the ways in which the five metrics apply to each of the selected groups of forts. As a result, it has been possible to form certain conclusions, and to advance some theories about the site groupings and their functions and possible interactions. The CLASP team involved in this study is as follows: G.W.
