    The Essex Birdwatching Society Newsletter The Natural Home of Bird Recording and Birdwatching in Essex since 1949 October 2020 Issue 45 Dear Essex Birders With chillier mornings and cooler days, we are very much in autumn now and many of our summer migrants will be replaced by autumn and winter migrants in the coming weeks. We were hoping to launch the Big County Birdwatch around now but with recent Covid restrictions we have had to adapt this years effort so we will now have THE BIG COUNTY GARDEN BIRDWATCH running from Friday 2nd - Monday 5th October 2020. I hope to send details of this great event in the next week or so.... watch this space! Best wishes to all. Steve IMPORTANT INFORMATION Due to the new law which came into force on Monday 14th Sept 2020 regarding the number of people (Maximum of 6) that are legally permitted to meet in a social gathering, it is with regret that all EBwS field trips planned for 2020 have had to be cancelled.

  • The Essex Biodiversity Action Plan
    THE ESSEX BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN In much of Essex we can still enjoy a great richness of wildlife. Bluebell woods , open meadows with butterflies, birds in our urban gardens, river valleys winding through farmland, and a spectacular coastline .Wild animals and plants surrounding us in our countryside and gardens enhance our quality of life and, together with the habitats and communities they form, help us define what we mean by Essex. This is the biodiversity of Essex ; we so easily take this for granted but action is required if it is to be maintained and enhanced. What is BIODIVERSITY? “Biodiversity : the variety of life.- Biodiversity is all living things, from the tiny garden ant to the giant redwood tree. You will find biodiversity everywhere, in window boxes and wild woods, roadsides and rainforests, snow fields and seashore .” ( Biodiversity : The UK Steering Group Report 1995) Biological Diversity, or biodiversity, is the variety of life that is all around us and all over the world. It encompasses all living things from microscopic organisms to the largest trees. Not just exotic, rare and endangered plants and animals are included, but also those that are found in back gardens, parks and ponds. Biodiversity is also the assemblages of species and their surroundings that we call habitats. Biodiversity is everywhere and we rely on it for our survival. Global Biodiversity and the Rio Challenge In June 1992 leaders of over 150 countries gathered together in Rio de Janeiro for the ‘Earth Summit’. At this conference environmental issues and concerns were addressed, including the loss of the world’s biodiversity.
