The Birds of Herefordshire 2013 The Birds of Herefordshire 2013 Herefordshire Ornithological Club Annual Report Typical Herefordshire farming country near Ross-on-Wye (Photo: Mick Colquhoun) Editorial Welcome to the 2013 edition of ‘The Birds of Herefordshire’; this is the 63rd annual report of the Herefordshire Ornithological Club (HOC). This edition includes some minor changes in presentation style and illustrative material. I hope you, the members, enjoy reading it. As usual, there have been adjustments in the taxonomic classification of some species during the year and hence in the systematic list sequence presented here, based on all changes to the British Ornithologists’ Union (BOU) List up to the end of 2013. The falcons now appear immediately after the woodpeckers rather than with the other raptors, the terns precede the gulls and there are some minor sequence changes within the waders and a few other taxa. To help readers locate individual species information, an alphabetic list is included on pages 134 – 135. This is my first year as Editor and I am pleased to include an additional technical article on the BTO Wetland Bird Survey (WeBS) and its operation within the county on pages 97 – 103. I am keen to broaden the range of material and information available to members and would welcome more technical articles in future editions, so please come forward with suggestions for survey-based articles, reviews of important county sites or presentations of species’ trends to enhance our publication. During 2013, a total of 177 species were recorded in the county, details of which are presented in the systematic list section on pages 20 – 91. This section includes three species that were seen for the first time in Herefordshire – Blue-winged Teal, Lesser Scaup and Parrot Crossbill – and a further seven rarities with less than 20 previous county records – American Wigeon, Red-crested Pochard, Red-necked Grebe, Turnstone, Curlew Sandpiper, Caspian Gull and Cetti’s Warbler. The Annual Report is an important output of HOC, placing on record the birds present and providing an up-to-date list of the species seen in the county. So please continue to avidly spot and record the species you see around your home and as you travel around the county to ensure our continually updated list of bird species is complete. Importantly, ensure you note the locations where they are found. We are short on records of breeding evidence for many species, so please also record this conscientiously whenever possible. The main HOC Committee wishes to thank the County Recorder, Steve Coney (2013 was his last of 13 years in the role), for compiling and checking a staggering 16,580 records gathered by some 271 observers during the year. The effort and commitment of authors of the systematic list and the other sections, identified by name on the ‘Contents’ page and at the end of each section, is gratefully acknowledged. I must also thank Tony Eveleigh and John Pullen for their meticulous checking of the systematic list, Mick Colquhoun for co-ordinating the photographs, Gerald Parker for his usual quality drawings and Gerald Wells for proof-reading.

During 2013 we have responded positively to requests for advice and assistance from a number of publicly-funded and charitable organisations in addition to requests from individual county residents. We have approved new publicity material for the Club, including a new logo, display boards and leaflets. These were placed in the public domain at the Herefordshire County Fair at Hampton Court, which was mostly remembered for being one of the wettest days in recent times. All of us are indebted to members of the Committee who have devoted many hours to what may appear mundane tasks, but which are in reality essential for the smooth running of the Club. Meetings Our meetings secretariat continued to provide us with an excellent range of topics and venues throughout the year. We were treated to discourses indoors on Owls, Shearwaters, photographic techniques, interspersed with outdoor meetings by rivers and gravel pits, at special nature reserves and in forests. Our thanks go to Gerald Parker, President Keith and Chris for arranging such an inspirational programme and to Chris and Pam Bartlett for leading us during the visit to the Faversham area of Kent. Newsletter and website We welcomed a new webmaster, Dr Michael Colquhoun, in succession to William Marler, and it is already apparent that the quality and integrity of the site remain at the highest level. The HOC News continues to be a major source of interest to the members and the Editor appreciates receiving the articles and photographs which members submit for publication. The Birds of Herefordshire Work on this flagship book is nearing completion and should be published in 2014. Vice President Nick Smith and all members of the team, especially Mervyn Davies, the Editor, have spent hundreds of hours preparing the material and are confident that it will prove to be a great success. We are all looking forward to acquiring our own copy. HOC records Throughout the year many members, and some visitors to the county, have sent in numerous records of sightings, all of which are invaluable for the constant maintenance of data. Without the recognition skills of the observers, we would have been deprived of the thrill of knowing that our county has been host to American Wigeon, Blue-winged Teal, Lesser Scaup, Waxwing, Whimbrel, Parrot Crossbill, Osprey and many other species. Our thanks go to all observers who are content to share their knowledge with all members. Please give them every encouragement. 4 General news At the request of BBC Hereford and Worcester,

  • The Birds of Herefordshire 2015
    The Birds of Herefordshire 2015 Herefordshire Ornithological Club Annual Report Jackdaws and Hereford cattle at Much Marcle in March 2015 (Photo: Mick Colquhoun) Editorial This is the 65th annual report of the ‘Birds of Herefordshire’, the Herefordshire Ornithological Club’s (HOC) annual publication for 2015, which I hope you will enjoy reading. During the year a total of 172 species were recorded, summary details and highlights of which are presented in the systematic list section on pages 30 – 98, for which I wish to thank the species authors. An alphabetic index of species is included on pages 146 – 147 to help readers locate individual species information and a gazetteer of place names mentioned in the species accounts is provided on pages 142 – 145. The county list of species (now numbering 281) was boosted by the sighting of a Spotted Sandpiper, a county ‘first’, at Wellington Gravel Pits in May 2015 (see article on pages 28 – 29), and seven other rarities with 20 or fewer previous county records also made an appearance in Herefordshire during the year: Red-crested Pochard, Marsh Harrier, Turnstone, Temminck’s Stint, Red-necked Phalarope, Caspian Gull and Common Redpoll. A tremendous amount of effort has gone into validating the records of rarities on the county list during the past year and the review article on pages 12 – 18 makes enlightening reading and provides a definitive list and dates of sightings for all 94 rarity species with 20 or fewer records. The large increase in the number of bird records received in 2014, compared with previous years, continued in 2015 with a similar 46,000 records being utilised in compiling this annual report.

  • Hereford Transport Package January 2019
    Community Consultation Statement Hereford Transport Package Walking, cycling, bus and public space improvements public consultation 1. Overview This Community Consultation Statement sets out how Herefordshire Council (the Council) proposes to undertake the next stage of the Hereford Transport Package consultation. This stage of the consultation focuses on the possible walking, cycling, bus and public space improvement plans. HTP is an important part of our vision, as outlined in our Local Transport Plan and Core Strategy. The Council wants to work with local people and businesses throughout the design and construction of the HTP, to create improvements which work for those travelling through and around the city. Our approach to consultation aims to encourage people to reflect on their existing travel arrangements, and where practical, to choose to walk, cycle or travel by bus more often and reduce car use for shorter journeys. Following positive feedback from our second consultation, we have developed a range of walking, cycling bus and public space improvement plans. We are now asking for public feedback on these plans to help inform the next stage of work. The consultation period will start on Tuesday 29 January 2019 and finish on Monday 11 March 2019. Further consultation will take place later in 2019 as part of the formal planning permission process. 2. Summary of Proposals The Hereford Transport Package is a collection of improvements that aim to improve access to public transport, reduce congestion and create better journeys for those travelling in and around Hereford. HTP includes the Hereford Bypass to the west of the city and a series of walking, cycling, bus and public space improvements to encourage people to travel more safely and sustainably within the city.

Linda Moffatt 2016, at the website of the Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com'. DATES • Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. • Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

    National Character 104. South Herefordshire and Over Severn Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 104. South Herefordshire and Over Severn Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Editorial This Linnean Is Mainly Concerned with the Welsh Marches
    THE LINNEAN 2030 VOLUME 16 I Editorial This Linnean is mainly concerned with the Welsh Marches. During October last the Society held its first field trip, when it studied the geology of Offa’s Dyke. The programme also included a lecture by Rev R.W.D. Fenn and Mr J.B. Sinclair which revolved around the Silurian Period, correlating with the interests and observations of local landowners and their friendship with eminent Victorian scientists such as the Reverend Adam Sedgwick (1 785-1 873) and Roderick Impy Murchison (I 792-1 871). The lecture, which was based mainly on the archives of the Banks family, throws new light on the old Cambrian-Silurian controversy and the classification of the Lower Palaeozoic Greywake-facies. In 183 1 Henslow persuaded Charles Darwin to think of geology and introduced him to Sedgwick. Later that summer (5-20 August) Sedgwick took Darwin on a geological tour ofNorth Wales where he had already begun investigating the Greywake-facies and had delineated the Cambrian. ~- ~~~ ~~~ - ~ ~ ~~ Geological section from Sedgwick’s letter to Damin 4 Sept. 1831. By 1835, Sedgwick and Murchison had become friends and were carrying out their researches in both Devon and Wales on the slates or Greywake-facies. In 1838, when Murchison published his monumental 2-volume work The Silurian System, he dedicated it to Sedgwick. However, Murchison was both ambitious and tyrannical and by 1842 a great rift had already devoloped in their relationship, with Murchison extending the Silurian downward to incorporate much of Sedgwick’s initial Cambrian. This controversy was eventually resolved in Sedgwick’s favour when, in 1847, the Geological Survey showed that there were ancient rocks below the Silurian strata in northwestern Wales.
