  • Strohauser Plate" Unter Besonderer Berücksichtigung Der Wiesenbrüter - Arbeiten Aus Dem Mellumrat E
    Oldenburger Jahrbuch 105, 2005 247 TimRoßkamp Die Brutvögel der Weserinsel „Strohauser Plate" unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Wiesenbrüter - Arbeiten aus dem Mellumrat e. V. - Abstract: This paper presents the results of a bird monitoring on the Weser island „Strohauser Plate", continuously conducted since 1990. Over the years the number of breeding bird species amounted to 79. About a quarter of the actual breeding bird species are listed in the red data book of Lower Saxony. This shows the significance of the NATURA 2000 area „Strohauser Plate". From the middle of the 1990s the populations of the meadow birds decreased rapidly. Especially the populations of Black-tailed Godwit, Lapwing and Yellow Wagtail showed a very strong decline. From 2001 till 2004 the development of meadow bird numbers was slightly positive. The one-sided agricultural practices led to a loss of structural elements in the grassland areas and thus to the de­ cline of meadow bird populations. Maps of breeding densities (habitats) made in 1991, 1996, 1999 and 2004 show an obvious trend of migration of the meadow birds from the areas nearby the farms to regions farer away from the settlements which are richer in structural elements. 1.

  • The Economic Impact of Different Foot-And-Mouth Disease Control Strategies in Northwest Germany – a Pilot Study
    Wageningen University & Research Centre Department of Social Sciences – Business Economics Group MSc Thesis – Management Studies BEC-80430 in the Double Degree programme on Management, Economics and Agriculture and Food Consumer Studies & Economics (Wageningen UR) (University of Bonn) The economic impact of different foot-and-mouth disease control strategies in northwest Germany – a pilot study Submitted by Thomas G. Böcker Student-ID (Wageningen): 890726077020 Student-ID (Bonn): 2231932 Submitted on 29th January 2015 1st examiner: Dr. Helmut Saatkamp (Wageningen UR) 2nd examiner: Prof. Dr. Robert Finger (University of Bonn) i ABSTRACT In case of an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) veterinary authorities have to decide whether a culling or a vaccination strategy shall be applied for controlling disease. In Germany, the last outbreak was in the late 80’s and little is known about the economic consequences of different mitigation strategies. For this reason, a static epidemiological and economic model was created using geo-reference data on municipality level. The model needs epidemiological input about infected premises, the size of movement re- striction zones and the duration of epidemic events. FMD epidemics for two animal dense regions in northwest Germany, the Jade-Weser region and the County of Grafschaft Bent- heim, were simulated and its costs analysed. In collaboration with epidemiologists of the veterinary authorities, three different scenarios were designed for each of the two strategies and regions (a best case, a probable/medium case and a worst case). In the economic model part, the costs were estimated for farmers and for the animal disease fund (the authorities). Thereby, the costs were divided into the categories Direct Costs (DC), Direct Consequen- tial Costs (DCC) and Indirect Consequential Costs (ICC).

  • Dartford Warbler 8 Dragonflies of Somerset 9 Desert Island Birds 11 Walks and Talks 13
    Issue 5 The Bittern March 2013 The newsletter of the Somerset Ornithological Society Pied-billed Grebe draws the crowds Julian Thomas reports Just before 6.30pm on Friday 15 February I received a phone call from an excited-sounding Steve Miller, saying that he had that afternoon been watching a Pied-billed Grebe from the second viewing platform at Ham Wall RSPB. He was the only one there when the bird appeared late in the afternoon, and though Tim Taylor, WildImaging he was joined shortly afterwards by two Bristol area birders, none of them had any phone numbers with Pied-billed Grebe, Ham Wall them to contact other birders – Steve eventually found my number by looking in a back issue of The Bittern! His description of a small grebe with a white eye-ring, a black throat, and a black band on the bill left no doubt whatsoever about the identity of the bird (see photo), though strangely the national bird information services seemed unconvinced. Steve is a regular and committed local RSPB volunteer – you are most likely to have come across his Geordie accent and easy smile in the hide at Greylake. That afternoon he chose at the last minute to go instead to Ham Wall in the hope of checking out Great White Egrets and was about to give up at the second platform and walk back when he heard a call he didn’t recognise. Happily, the source of the call soon swam out into view, and the rest, as they say, is history. The stroke of luck that led to Steve finding such a good bird is a fitting reward for all the hours he has freely given to help Somerset’s birds (and birders).

  • Shapwick Heath NNR 2018-2023 Management Plan – Executive Summary Shapwick Heath NNR Is a Nature Reserve with a Great Richness and Diversity of Wetland Habitats
    Shapwick Heath NNR 2018-2023 Management Plan – Executive Summary Shapwick Heath NNR is a nature reserve with a great richness and diversity of wetland habitats. It’s place within the suite of nature reserves of the Avalon Marshes, itself part of the nationally important landscape of the Somerset Levels & Moors, makes Shapwick Heath part of an area that we aspire to manage at a landscape scale. ‘Bigger, better, more joined-up’ is the philosophy we aim to reflect, and it is our place in the wider landscape, community and economy that we consider in all that we do. Habitats Shapwick Heath boasts a stunning variety of wetland habitats from the open water and reedbeds that support internationally important bird assemblages, to a range of wet grassland, fen and mire communities managed through traditional farming methods, along with stands of wet woodland. Within the management plan there are detailed descriptions of each our protected habitats and species, our rationale for why we are managing them as we do and full descriptions of the projects we employ to achieve our objectives. High quality conservation management of our site, to reach and maintain favourable conservation status for our Sites of Scientific Interest (SSSI’s), is always at the core of what we do. Heritage In our 2018-2023 management plan we aspire to further develop some of our cultural features, the most well-known of which is the Neolithic Sweet Track. Other such trackways still lie un- investigated within the NNR and we seek to work closely with the South-West Heritage Trust on new investigations into these trackways and finding ways to improve interpretation of them.
