The farm grows many of the seeds for our birdseed, so you are buying direct from a nature loving farm, oh and of course, the birds simply love our seed! Bird and Wildlife Conservation At Rectory Farm we take great pride in our ability to balance the need to conserve and enhance the environment with producing food. Across the farm substantial wildlife improvements have been made through the creation of grass strips around arable fields, planting new hedgerows, improved hedgerow management and providing more feeding and habitats for pollinators and farmland birds. Our passion for birds is evident on the farm, where over the past thirty five years we have enhanced the environment to encourage more birds and wildlife. Due to this work we have had a tremendous increase in both the numbers and species of birds found on the farm including sky larks, linnets, English partridge, tree sparrows, house sparrows and red kites. We have also seen a large increase in the brown hare population. Our local bird watching group constructed over twenty bird boxes in spinneys around the farm in order to provide nesting sites for our farmland birds. These, plus an assortment of falcon and owl boxes are monitored frequently for us to keep abreast of all the activity going on. Supporting Bird Projects We are delighted to support many On a local level we donate seed and outstanding projects which make a real feeders to local schools to encourage difference to our birds. On a national children to get involved in birds and level such projects include donating wildlife. We also support local wildlife feed to the Help for Heroes reserve reserves and host valuable wildlife at Tedworth House, supplying RSPB research on the farm. reserves and National Trust properties. We are also immensely proud to be involved in the RSPB Cirl Bunting project to stop the decline of this species in the South-West. By developing a specific mix for feeding in select locations the project has been a great success. ...and the main reason...your birds will love it! Mixed Seeds Available in bag sizes from 2kg to 20kg Our mixes are all mixed on the farm using home grown ingredients where possible from our fields surrounding the Eyebrook Reservoir.

  • The Rove Beetles of Leicestershire and Rutland
    LEICESTERSHIRE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Rove Beetles (Staphylinidae) of Leicestershire and Rutland Part 1: Sub-families Paederinae, Pseudopsinae and Staphylininae Derek A. Lott Creophilus maxillosus (Graham Calow) LESOPS 24 (2011) ISSN 0957 – 1019 Correspondence: 5 Welland Road, Barrow upon Soar, LE12 8NA VC55 Staphylinids Part 1 2 Introduction With over 56,000 described species in the world, the Staphylinidae are the largest family in the animal kingdom (Grebennikov & Newton, 2009). Around a quarter of the British beetles are rove beetles, so they represent an important component of biodiversity in Britain. However, because of perceived difficulties in their identification, they have not received the attention that they merit. This paper aims to play a part in redressing that imbalance by listing all reliable records from Leicestershire and Rutland for the different species and analysing which species have declined locally over 100 years of recording rove beetles and which have prospered. The subfamilies treated in this first part include the largest and most conspicuous species in the family. The geographical area covered is the vice county of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55). Some records from adjacent banks of the River Soar that technically lie in Nottinghamshire are also included. These records can be distinguished by the use of Nottinghamshire parish names. Identification Staphylinidae can be easily recognised among beetles in the field by their short wing cases that leave five or six segments of the abdomen exposed and flexible. In fact they look more like earwigs than other beetles. For identification to species, all the members of the subfamilies in this part will be covered by the forthcoming Royal Entomological Society handbook to Staphylinidae parts 6 and 7 due for publication in 2011.

    No. 217 1 January - 31 March 2015 Editorial Panel: Helen Ikin, Steve Woodward, Jim Graham. Hon. Sec. Sue Graham, 5 Lychgate Close, Cropston, Leicester. LE7 7HU. Tel: 0116-2366474 A View From The Armchair To live and grow up in a house with a lovely garden is a real privilege. For a naturalist it can provide hours of fun and a realisation that even in an area that we consider familiar there is still much to learn. My father built the house in Quorn in Leicestershire in the early 1950s after demolishing three small cottages that were initially on the site. My parents and sister moved into the house on its completion in 1955. I was born in the house a year later. My father was, and still is, a keen naturalist and during my childhood he held a ringing licence and ringed birds in our garden. Birds have now been ringed in the garden for 60 years and this has provided us with a wealth of information. The garden which is some 80 feet long and 40 feet wide, borders onto a mixed woodland called Kaye’s Plantation. I started bird ringing in 1974 and, after attaining my C-permit a short time later, started to use a mist net in the garden which added to the variety of birds ringed. Since we started we have caught some 57 species some of which have taken us by surprise including: Common Gull, Kingfisher, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker and Firecrest. The fourth Siskin I had ever caught in the garden in April 1976 IN THIS EDITION was wearing a Russian ring! It had been ringed near Liepaya in Latvia in October the previous year.

  • Planning for Climate Change
    www.itpower.co.uk Planning for Climate Change: Executive Summary May 2008 The Planning for Climate Change Project was initiated in December 2007 to provide evidence to underpin the preparation of future planning policy relating to climate change in seven local authority areas of Leicestershire and Rutland: Blaby District Council, Harborough District Council, Hinckley and Bosworth District Council, Melton Borough Council, North West District Council, Oadby and Wigston Borough Council and Rutland County Council. There are three key parts to the project: 1) Climate Change Assessment of Core Strategy Strategic Options 2) Renewable Energy Opportunities œ Quantification of the potential for renewable energy in each of the seven local authority areas 3) Energy Efficiency Recommendations for New Developments - An assessment of the extent that it may be technically and economically possible to expect new buildings to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions beyond the requirements of the Building Regulations. Climate Change Assessment of Development options Scientific evidence leaves us in no doubt that human activity is the primary driver of the observed changes in climate. The main human influence on global climate is emissions of the key greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide. Energy use in buildings accounts for 40% of the UK‘s total greenhouse gas emissions1. Emissions resulting from personal transport also make an important contribution. Local planning policies offer the opportunity to reduce these emissions and to ensure opportunities for sustainable energy are maximised. Climate change is expected to result in more extreme weather events such as droughts and flooding including within the East Midlands region where by 2059 there could be up to 13% more rainfall in winter and 18% less rainfall in summer.

  • LESOPS 25 Lott Et Al
    2 A Provisional Atlas of the Carabidae of Leicestershire & Rutland Derek Lott, Graham Finch & Gareth Price LESOPS 25 (2011) ISSN 0957 - 1019 A collaborative publication from The Leicestershire & Rutland Environmental Resources Centre and The Leicestershire Entomological Society 3 FOREWORD In the spring of 2009, Derek Lott, Graham Finch & Gareth Price embarked on the production of this atlas. The idea of the atlas was the brainchild of Graham Finch, who had attended a ground beetle training course and became well aware of the need for a VC55 distribution atlas. In July 2009 a very simple first draft was produced. Derek Lott and Graham Finch scrutinized the first draft. A number of important issues needed consideration, such as taxonomic changes, the classification of sites, obtaining accurate grid references and the removal of invalid species records falsely recorded in Leicestershire and Rutland. Derek Lott provided Carabidae context to some sites in the gazetteer as well as providing species context. The production of this atlas was made much easier by the life-long work of Derek Lott, who had already accumulated vast amounts of ground beetle data and local knowledge, without which this atlas would not have been possible. Special thanks go the Carabidae recorders who have sent in records. We have endeavoured to reference and acknowledge the people and sources that have helped in the production of this atlas but often with natural history publications there are too many people to thank over a very long period of time. Our apologies go to the people or sources that have been inadvertently omitted. The gazetteer obtained information from a number of sources, in particular the Flora of Leicestershire (Primavesi & Evans, 1988) and the Flora of Rutland (Messenger, 1971).
