The present publication is the ninth in the new paper-back series which provides the infor­ mation on rainfall over the United Kingdom that was formerly given in Part I of British Rainfall. It gives monthly and annual totals of rainfall and, where available, the rainfall on the wettest day of the year by amount and date(s). Station details 2. The publication includes for each station its 'Rainfall Station Number' (previously known as its 'Hydrometric Station Number'): this is the reference number used by the Meteorological Office to identify the station's rainfall data. 3. The county in which the rain-gauge is located is given by the 'County Number'. The counties in this volume are those which came into existence after the 1974 reorganization of Local Government in England and Wales, and after the 1975 reorganization in Scotland. The new county number, Ccc, comprises C the country and cc the county within the country. In Wales the county of Powys has been divided into two parts, north and south, each given a separate county number: this is to maintain a link with the 'districts' adopted by the Meteorological Office in its Monthly Weather Report. In the London area, all stations within administrative authorities bearing the name 'London Borough of ...' are shown within the county of Greater London. In Scotland the reorganization introduced Regional Council areas but, as the former county names are still largely used, the county numbering system adopted by the Meteorological Office serves the dual purpose of identifying both Regional Council and old county areas, and the three-figure county number may be regarded as being CRc, where C is the country number, R is the Regional Council number and c is the county number within the Region. (Where c is 6 or greater, the old county has been divided between two Regional Councils and the two parts are separately identified.) A complete decode of the system is given on pages x—xi. 4. The location of the rain-gauge sites is given by National Grid Reference to the nearest 100 metres, and the altitude of the rain-gauge site above mean sea level is given to the nearest metre. 5. The name of the rainfall station is that used by the Meteorological Office under rules which require that the primary name should normally appear on the 1-inch Ordnance Survey map and/ or its 1:50 000 metric successor. Where stations exist on islands, the island name is given in capital letters as the first part of the name. Where it is desirable to identify the location beyond the name of the town, village, etc., a supplementary part of the name appears after a comma. In a decreasing number of cases it is desirable to retain the name under which data were published in British Rainfall (prior to 1969): thus there will remain some instances where longer-term station names do not adhere to these rules and the names may not in fact appear on current Ordnance Survey maps. Abbreviations or initials are used only in forms that are readily identi­ fiable, although there are rules applicable to certain standard abbreviations, such as S. Wks = Sewage Works (or Sewage Treatment Works), P. Sta. = Pumping Station, Res. = Reservoir, Met. Office = Meteorological Office (where the term applies only to sites manned by personnel of the Meteorological Office or at Royal Naval Air Stations by personnel of the Directorate of Naval Oceanography and Meteorology). * Where a station name is prefixed by an asterisk, the rain-gauge is set with its rim at ground level, surrounded by a pattern of antisplash grid which is acceptable to the Meteorological Office. tf Where a station name is prefixed by a hatch symbol, the station is located in England although it is shown within the Hydrometric Areas associated with Scottish River Purification Boards; such stations fall within the data areas of the Northumbrian River Authority if in the north­ east and of the North West Water Authority if in the north-west. > Where a station name is prefixed by a 'greater than' sign, the data originated from a rain- gauge of a tipping-bucket type which provides data acceptable to Meteorological Office stand­ ards for data archiving purposes. 6. The average annual rainfall at stations for the latest reference period, 1941—70, is given in as many cases as possible. Estimated averages are not included. The ability to include values for this latest reference period arises solely from the delay in publication of the 1977 data; it is not usually possible to introduce new averages until a few years after the end of the reference period. Thus, values of percentage of annual average now printed will be somewhat different from those published for selected stations at an earlier date (e.g. the Monthly Weather Report for 1977), for which the averages relating to the 1916—50 period were in operational use. Representative figures (Table B) for the monthly and annual rainfall of 1977 in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man are given as percentages of the longer-period averages (1941—70 ) in Tables C and D. Rivers and streams 7. The publication follows earlier practice in that it endeavours to associate rain-gauges with particular catchments and accordingly names the associated rivers and streams. 8. It is not practicable to identify every stream in the country and some minor features have necessarily been ignored. However, in general, a stream is separately identified if it is more than four miles long and has, or has had, a number of rainfall stations within its catchment. 9. As with station names, a number of subjective decisions have had to be taken. The name of the river or stream not uncommonly changes throughout its course: a stream which enters end leaves a lake may thereby acquire a new name. In general, such rivers are identified by the name in use at the lowest reaches, that at the mouth or that at the confluence with a larger river to which it is a tributary. Water authorities and hydrometric areas 10. The water industry was also reorganized in England and Wales in April 1974 when the many 'River Authorities' were replaced by ten larger regional 'Water Authorities'; similarly, in 1975 there were changes in Scotland resulting in fewer 'River Purification Boards' each covering larger geo­ graphical areas. This volume adopts all these changes. 11. As the administrative structure within Water Authorities does not necessarily follow hydro- logical boundaries, and is in any case subject to revision from time to time, it is not practicable to publish the rainfall data under sub-headings related to (say) Water Authority Divisions. Accord­ ingly, the data are now published within 'Hydrometric Area' groupings and maps showing the relationship between these Hydrometric Areas and the various water authorities across the United Kingdom are included in pages viii and ix. The Hydrometric Area numbers used in this volume are those in use at the date of printing, and are not necessarily those in use in 1977.

  • Butterfly Conservation Upper Thames Branch Silver-Washed Fritillary
    Butterfly Conservation Upper Thames Branch Silver-washed Fritillary Report 2006-7 Mick Campbell Many thanks to everyone who sent in sightings of Silver-washed Fritillary, in particular Chris Brown who monitored Crowsley Park Wood on a daily basis throughout the season, capturing the timing of different events, such as pairing and roosting habits of this beautiful butterfly. From the left: Silver-washed Fritillary male on bramble showing the distinctive black streaks of scent-scales near the middle of the forewing; female on buddleia; and the valezina form of the female (photos © Peter Hall, David Redhead & Tony Croft respectively) The Silver-washed Fritillary is a strong, fast flying woodland species, preferring mixed woodland with an open canopy, sunny glades and rides, with bramble as the favoured nectar source. They lay their eggs on oaks and rough-barked conifers where their foodplant of violet is present nearby. Interestingly, a report was also received from Jan Haseler in 2007 of a female appearing to oviposit on alder. Silver-washed Fritillary has been expanding its range in recent years and in the hot summer of 2006 it was particularly successful, with ‘wanderers’ turning up in 12 gardens, compared with 3 sightings in gardens during the 2007 season. First sighting Last sighting Number seen 2006 22-Jun-06 24-Aug-06 389 2007 17-Jun-07 07-Sept-07 306 As this species has a very long flight period, the peak emergence is difficult to pinpoint, but the maximum numbers are counted from about 11th July through to 10th August, with the first females being noted 2-3 weeks after the first male is sighted.

  • Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated.

  • Species Action Plan for Green-Winged Orchid: (Orchis Morio) in Buckinghamshire
    Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Biodiversity Action Plan Species Action Plans Species Action Plans National Species Action Plans 8.1 Biodiversity: The UK Steering Group Report (DETR, 1995) originally listed 416 priority species for which national Species Action Plans would be written. At that time 116 had already been written and 300 remained. In addition, a further 1,250 species were identified as being of ‘conservation concern’. The priority list was reviewed in 1997and in 2007. After the 2007 revision the total number of BAP priority species was set at 1149. This list is available in Biodiversity Reporting and Information Group Report on the Species and Habitat Review 2007. 8.2 The four scientific criteria that were used to select the UK BAP species in the 2007 review were; • International threat • International responsibility & moderate decline in the UK • Marked decline in the UK • Other important factors – where quantitative data on decline are inadequate but there is convincing evidence of extreme threat Local Species Action Plans for Buckinghamshire 8.3 On the publication of the Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes BAP in 2000 it was planned that every species present in Bucks for which there is a national SAP or Conservation Statement, would eventually have a local SAP or Conservation Statement. SAPs would also be written for species which may not be considered a national priority, but which are threatened or declining within the County, such as green- winged orchid. 8.4 The following Plans were produced for species within Buckinghamshire. y Chiltern Gentian y Green-winged Orchid y Striped Lychnis Moth As Latin names were used in the original publication of the action plans for Chiltern gentian, green-winged orchid and striped lychnis moth, they have been retained in the following part of the document.

(2012) Making Space for Water in the Upper Derwent Valley: Phase 2. Annual Report: 2012 – 2013. Moors for the Future Partnership, Edale. Executive Summary Project management and coordination activities (Milestone 1) The main restoration activities of heather brashing, liming, seeding, fertilising and dam construction were all completed in the spring of 2012, as the first phase of the Making space for Water (MS4W) project gave way to the second. This also marked the beginning of the post-restoration phase of monitoring for hydrological response. The only remaining restoration activities completed after this time were plug planting of moorland species (outside the monitoring areas), a planned “top-up” treatment of lime and fertilizer and some “top-up gully blocks, again outside the monitored area. New equipment has been bought, based on recommendations by University of Manchester; this is to be used as spares for replacing faulty items in the field and also for additional data gathering requirements to support the modelling exercise. There have been a number of meetings with the Environment Agency, the University of Manchester and the University of Durham in order to further clarify and formalise the contractual basis of the relationship in terms of the hydrological research and the related PhD, in addition to the more recent modelling exercise.

  • Landscape-Strategy-Dark-Peak.Pdf
    www.peakdistrict.gov.uk 3: Dark Peak Peak District National Park Authority Dark Peak Dark Peak open moorland © Peak District National Park Authority Introduction The Dark Peak is a sparsely settled area of gritstone uplands lying at the southern end of the Pennine Hills. The area comprises an extensive upland plateau with steep gritstone slopes, sometimes with rocky edges, that drop away to lower lying slopes, wooded cloughs and deep valleys, some of which have been flooded to create large reservoirs. It contrasts sharply with the adjoining limestone uplands of the White Peak and is named on account of the dark hues created in the landscape by the peat moors and exposed gritstone. Whilst this landscape character area contrasts with the White Peak, the transition to other landscape character areas such as the Dark Peak Eastern and Western Fringe landscapes is much more gradual; these are landscapes of similar character but tend to be lower lying, more settled and more intensively managed than the Dark Peak with enclosed farmland rather than open moorland predominating. The Eastern Moors to the south-east of the Dark Peak are similar to it in character but lower lying with less deep peat creating a landscape that has been more obviously modified by people than the Dark Peak generally has. In the north, the moorland plateau of the Dark Peak continues into the Southern Pennines. 2 Landscape Strategy and Action Plan Peak District National Park Authority 3: Dark Peak such as the golden plover and the dunlin. On the lower moorland Physical influences slopes heather dominates, with varying amounts of bilberry, The Dark Peak is an extensive area of high moorland and adjacent cowberry and crowberry.
