HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB 41 I EDITORIAL A glance through many of the previous editorials in the Club's Reports will show that over the years the various issues which affect the avian world have, to a large extent, remained unchanged within the County and elsewhere. Loss of habitat must undoubtedly be the primary concern for all those who are interested in preserving our avifauna and other wildlife. Marshy areas continue to be drained and ancient hedgerows and old orchards removed to create 'prairie' style agriculture. In addition a number of species, particularly owls, are frequent road casualties. Meanwhile those species which are summer visitors continue to face a hazardous journey during their migration across some of the countries of our European neighbours where shooting, 'liming' and trapping etc. continue to be carried out, even in those countries where birds are legally protected. If they manage to survive this slaughter their breeding success and survival rate within their wintering quarters is very much determined by climatic conditions, often resulting in considerable fluctuations in numbers. This has been particularly noticeable over the years among Sand Martins and Whitethroats. However, all is not gloom for with the aid of reserves owned and/or managed by the Herefordshire Nature Trust and efforts by individuals and some local industries various habitats have been secured for the future and new areas created. An abundance of records has been received during the year which is particularly encouraging. The total number of species recorded was 145 + [I]. The year began well with c55 Barnacle Geese at Clifford on January 3rd where they remained for at least three weeks. The Ferruginous Duck from 1988 was last noted at Unton on 9th and a Night Heron was present on the Herefordshire/ Radnorshire border from 16th - 18th. A Shelduck was noted at Hampton Bishop on February 1sI. During March two Red Kites were seen near Ivington on 24th and a Redshank at Castleton on 27th. Another Redshank was at Mathon GP on April 15th, a Short-eared Owl at Winforton on 16th and a Long-eared Owl at Foy on 19th. The second Shelduck for the year was noted at Bodenham GP on 20th. Two drake Garganey were at the same locality on May IIth and during the third week ofthe month 3 - 4 Comcrakes were heard calling at Whitbourne. It was at this time that the Quail 'invasion' began with subsequent reports from numerous localities. Two Grasshopper Warblers were 'reeling' in British Camp area from 3rd - 11th June and a Black Tern was at Bodenham GP on 20th. The first passage Greenshanks noted were singles at Castleton and Hampton Bishop on July 16th and a Redshank was at Castleton on the same day. A yellow-legged Herring Gull was at Stretton Sugwas on 17th, the same or another Greenshank at Castleton on 18th. a possible Pratincole over Bosbury on 21 st, a Dunlin at Mathon GP on 30th and a Greenshank at Wergins Bridge on 31 sI.

Our churches will be very busy! During Lent we have travelled with Jesus, following the accounts of his work in our Gospels, hearing the words he spoke, sharing in the joy of the disciples and their despair on Good Friday. The Cross casts its shadow on the last days of Jesus life, and he is laid to rest in a tomb guarded by soldiers. Then Easter Day dawns, we see the empty tomb, and our Alleluias ring out, “Christ is risen. He is risen indeed” Peter Millar expresses the wonder and mystery of the resurrection in his poem, The Invitation of Easter: And across our beautiful, evolving world, another Easter dawns, tenderly inviting us to ponder upon wider truths and alternative visions.

    Herefordshire Archaeology Conservation and Environmental Planning Planning Services Environment Directorate Herefordshire Council Herefordshire Woodlands Pilot Study: Phase 2 Wapley Hill Wood Staunton-on-Arrow (SO 34655 62627) Herefordshire Archaeology Report No. 83 Report prepared by D N Williams Contents Summary Introduction Method Results Discussion Acknowledgements Archive Bibliography Figures Appendix Herefordshire Archaeology is Herefordshire Council’s county archaeology service. It advises upon the conservation of archaeological and historic landscapes, maintains the county Sites and Monument Record, and carries out conservation and investigative field projects. The County Archaeologist is Dr. Keith Ray. 1 Herefordshire Woodlands Pilot Scheme: Phase 2. Wapley Hill Wood Herefordshire Archaeology Report No. 83 Herefordshire Archaeology, November 2003. Summary: The survey described in this report, (HSM No. 34023), formed part of a pilot study undertaken in partnership with the Forestry Commission. A rapid walkover survey was carried out in the woods concerned. A hand held Global Positioning System was used to record the location of features encountered. Features recorded within the woodlands surveyed, (The Warren, Crabtree Wood and Goden’s Wood) date in certain instances from the Iron Age and the medieval periods, but the majority illustrate the use of the woodland resource in the post medieval period. These latter features include saw pits, charcoal burning platforms, quarries and woodland management boundaries. The significant exception to this was identified within ‘The Warren’, an area almost totally lacking evidence of woodland management. Apart from the Iron Age hillfort, the most significant feature identified in this area was a massive enclosure. This was found to have two phases. It enclosesd the whole of the area, known later as The Warren.
