Dursley Birdwatching & Preservation Society DURSLEY BIRDWATCHING AND PRESERVATION SOCIETY OCTOBER 2017 BULLETIN FROM YOUR CHAIR AND COMMITTEE “Hello again fellow Dursleys! It seems only five minutes since I was writing the last Chair's news, but things have been happening! We have begun our new season of indoor meetings and what a smashing talk, from Terry Wall, to start us off. It was a good turnout too and lovely to see many of you again after the summer break. With regard to indoor meetings, I just wanted to return to the subject of our new initiative of mid-week afternoon meetings. As I mentioned last time, there seemed to be some confusion about an entry 'fee' for these meetings. The Committee has now discussed this and decided that initially we will make a charge only for the refreshments, which will be £1. We will review the arrangements after we have held a few of these meetings. Also, we have had to change the date for the next meeting to Thursday 12th October due to various people's unavailability on the date published in your programme. It will be at Frampton Village Hall and yours truly will be giving one of my travel tales. The subject will be 'The Wildlife of Namibia and Botswana' - which is a repeat of one that I have done at an evening meeting but hopefully some of you who were unable to attend the evening rendition will be able to attend this time - and of course anyone who might like to see it again will be more than welcome! We will still need volunteers to help set up the room and provide refreshments, so if you would like to help please contact Mike Robinson. The weekend of 9th and 10th September saw the inaugural ‘Severn Wader Festival’ at WWT Slimbridge (see Colin's report later in this Bulletin) at which we had a stand alongside the BTO, BOC and our friends at Wader Quest. I have had several complimentary remarks about our stand and so want to formally thank Colin for all his hard work in creating it and the many DBWPS members who volunteered to staff it for us over the weekend. Thank you all very much! The days after the festival saw Storm Aileen hit our shores and some decent 'sea watching’ could be had around the Severn Estuary, with Petrels, Shearwaters and even a Gannet turning up. I hope that some of you were able to connect with these special birds coming close to our 'patch'. Dursley Birdwatching and Preservation Society (Founded: 1953) Page 1 Finally, I just want to politely remind you about booking for field trips and the need to plan ahead. As we have to confirm our bookings well in advance with the coach company, we do need to know in good time what our numbers are likely to be for a trip. If we don't make the threshold before the deadline, then we have to turn the trip into a car share. So can I make an appeal to you all, on Mike's behalf, to check the deadlines for bookings and to sign up as soon as possible? It would be a shame if we cancelled a mini-coach or coach booking only to find that people subsequently came forward saying 'I was going to book on that!'. I am looking forward to seeing lots of you at upcoming Society meetings as the autumn migration season gets under full steam. Best wishes - and good birding!” Roberta Goodall DBWPS Chair FORTHCOMING EVENTS Llanelli Wildfowl and Wetland Trust, South Wales – Leader: John Ryman - Sunday 8th October 2017 Our trip to this popular WWT Reserve in South Wales will be by mini-coach. We are limited to 16 and have 14 members booked already. We will be leaving Dursley Bus Station promptly at 0800 for a day’s birdwatching. ‘Moths in a Gloucestershire Garden’ – an illustrated talk (Indoor) – Presenter: Bob Smith - Monday 9th October 2017 A personal introduction from Bob; “I have been recording moths in my garden for about ten years and although I have always been interested in wildlife, I have been amazed at the variety that occurs there. In the UK we have around 2,500 species of moth and 58 of butterflies (or up to 70 if all the occasional migrants are included). Moths (Right, Lobster Moth caterpillar, photo by Bob Smith) have a reputation for being dull brown insects that fly at night and eat clothes, whereas butterflies are perceived as beautiful, flying by day and doing no harm. However, the truth is very different: only a handful of moths are responsible for damaged clothes, there are many more day-flying moths than butterflies and many moths match the best of the butterflies for beauty! The talk is about some of the 500+ species recorded in my garden and includes photos and videos illustrating the range of sizes, shapes and colours, some of their lifecycles, the origins of some of their names and, depending on the audience and time available, any other facts or stories that I think may be interesting. Dursley Birdwatching and Preservation Society (Founded: 1953) Page 2 If the weather is okay the night before, then I should also have some live moths to bring along. I will have books and leaflets too for anyone who wants to look something up or identify a photo.” Special Event: An afternoon talk at Frampton Village Hall (Indoor) – Presenter: Roberta Goodall – Thursday 12th October 2017 This will be the second of our series of ‘trial’ afternoon meetings during the current programme. Our Chair Roberta will be giving an illustrated talk on ‘The Wildlife of Namibia and Botswana’, profiling one of her many wildlife adventures, including everything from elephants to the birds of this beautiful area of Africa. If anyone is willing to help with setting up the room or providing refreshments on the day then please contact Mike Robinson on 01453 842566. Autumn at Frampton – Leader: Nick Goatman - Sunday 15th October 2017 This is the fifth of our special meetings with Nick this season, trying to find the special birds and other wildlife of this area. Meet at 0830 in the small car park which is situated near the bottom of the green at Frampton on Severn, on the track to the sailing lake. It will be a three mile morning walk along flat paths which cross fields, along the canal path and alongside the river, through woodland and past Court Lake. This is Nick’s local patch so we will hopefully be able to connect with interesting birds and find other wildlife as we walk. This is probably the best time of the year for finding returning migrants, but the most difficult for wildfowl because they will be going into their autumn moult. The route could change if interesting birds are nearby, which Nick has a habit of finding! Do come and join us on what promises to be another interesting event. For any other information please contact Mike Robinson on 01453 842566. Titchfield Haven, Hampshire – Leader: John Arrowsmith - Sunday 22nd October 2017 The 16 seater mini-coach will leave Dursley Bus Station at 0800 for the journey to Hampshire. High tide there on the day will be about 1240. We are fully booked for this trip and the cost will be £20.00 per head, with a group rate for entrance to the Reserve. This is a great site, which we have visited several times before, seeing Great Grey Shrike, Short-eared Owl, Bearded Tit, flocks of Brent Geese and good numbers of waders. The visitor centre does have lunch facilities if required, so there will be time to have lunch there or bring a picnic with you. We will be booked into the reserve but after dropping us, the mini-coach will have to park a couple of miles away and pick us up at an agreed time later in the day. ‘Birding around the Arctic Circle’: an illustrated talk (Indoor) – Presenter: Paul Bowden - Monday 30th October 2017 Paul Bowden’s lecture is based on his visits to both Finland (part of which lies above the Arctic Circle) and Iceland (lying immediately below the Arctic Circle). Dursley Birdwatching and Preservation Society (Founded: 1953) Page 3 Iceland lies astride the European and North American tectonic plates, which are moving apart a few centimetres per year, producing interesting geological and geothermal activity. The northern parts of Finland are above the Arctic Circle, so a trip encompassing the whole of Finland gives access to birds living within and beneath it. Temperatures can vary from 25˚C in the south to 2˚C in the north during June. Many birds choose to breed in Finland due to the long hours of daylight and Paul saw 141 species in one week, managing to obtain photographs and video of 83 of these. These included many interesting birds such as Grey-headed Wagtail, Syke’s Wagtail, Great Grey Owl, Pine Grosbeak (Right, photo by Paul Bowden), Red- flanked Bluetail and Siberian Jay. Dragonflies were found in Finland south of the Arctic Circle, but not above it. Iceland is geothermal, with dramatic scenery and many volcanoes, but very little bird life in the winter. This gives way to an invasion of breeding birds in summer to take advantage of the near 24 hour daylight. Paul saw a total of 69 bird species in May and recorded 50 species on video or as photographs. These included Barrow’s Goldeneye (Left, photo by Paul Bowden), Harlequin Duck, Brunnich’s Guillemot and Gyrfalcon but again, no dragonflies (or butterflies) were seen.

  • Public Engagement and Wildlife Recording Events in the UK Matt Postles & Madeleine Bartlett, Bristol Natural History Consortium
    - DRAFT - The rise and rise of BioBlitz: public engagement and wildlife recording events in the UK Matt Postles & Madeleine Bartlett, Bristol Natural History Consortium Abstract A BioBlitz is a collaborative race against the clock to discover as many species of plants, animals and fungi as possible, within a set location, over a defined time period - usually 24 hours. A BioBlitz usually combines the collection of biological records with public engagement as experienced naturalists and scientists explore an area with members of the public, volunteers and school groups. The number of BioBlitz events taking place in the UK has increased explosively since the initiation of the National BioBlitz programme in 2009 attracting large numbers of people to take part and gathering a large amount of biological data. BioBlitz events are organised with diverse but not mutually exclusive aims and objectives and the majority of events are considered successful in meeting those aims. BioBlitz events can cater for and attract a wide diversity of participants through targeted activities, particularly in terms of age range, and (in the UK) have engaged an estimated 2,250 people with little or no prior knowledge of nature conservation in 2013. BioBlitz events have not been able to replicate that success in terms of attracting participants from ethnic minority groups. Key positive outcomes for BioBlitz participants identified in this study include enjoyment, knowledge and skills based learning opportunities, social and professional networking opportunities and inspiring positive action Whilst we know that these events generate a lot of biological records, the value of that data to the end user is difficult to quantify with the current structure of local and national recording schemes.

    British Dragonfly Society Sussex Group Newsletter Spring 2016 No 36 Spring has sprung …. … And the world is budding, leafing, mating, calling and exuberantly abundant again. In the last few weeks everything has awoken from a cold weather slumber and suddenly the waterways are heaving with our two and four winged friends. A brief foray into the outdoors has revealed downy emeralds, hairy dragonflies, large red damselflies, beautiful demoiselles and azure damselflies galore. It’s time to start getting out there in the greenery and recording folks :) Sussex Dragonfly Society Newsletter Filling in the Blanks A Brief Overview of Dragonfly Recording in Sussex by Bob Foreman It’s astonishing, but apparently there are still no dragonflies in a quarter of Sussex !? See the map on the next page for details, but here are some recent stats on how many dragonfly records we have :- 1426 out of 4046 1km squares have no dragonfly or damselfly records in Sussex There are 3630 ‘complete’ 1km squares in Sussex and 416 squares which overlap the coast or county boundary. 211 of these are more than 50% in Sussex. Of the 416 “incomplete squares 254 of these do not have any dragonfly records, therefore: there are 1172 full 1km squares in Sussex without a single dragonfly record. On the positive side, eight of the 1km squares in Sussex have more than 1000 records, one of which, unsurprisingly is the square which contains SWT’s Woods Mill Nature Reserve. TQ4630, Currently the most recorded square in Sussex with 2767 records is the square containing Old Lodge, the Sussex Wildlife Trust reserve.
