  • REVIEW LOCAL REPORT the WEST MIDLAND BIRD REPORT 1953 (48 Pages, 3 Half-Plates) and 1954 (64 Pages, 2 Half-Plates)
    REVIEW LOCAL REPORT THE WEST MIDLAND BIRD REPORT 1953 (48 pages, 3 half-plates) and 1954 (64 pages, 2 half-plates). Editor: J. Lord, 369, Chester Road, Boldrnere, Sutton Coldfield. Obtainable from J. Sears, 5, Acheson Road, Hall Green, Birmingham 25. Price 6s, each. THE Birmingham and West Midland Bird Club is one of the strongest in the country with membership approaching 500. Its Reports are substantial and well-produced, covering the counties of Warwick, Worcester and Stafford. Classified notes form the main part of the Report and follow the sequence and names used in the B.O.U. Check-List of 1952. Under each species notes referring to each county are listed separately, but not all of the commoner species occuring within the area are mentioned. No indication is given about the standards applied in accepting records, nor whether records are assessed by the editor alone or whether he has the help of a committee; clearly, in a club of this size, no one man can really know the capabilities of all members. In the case of some rarities supporting details are given, but there is no information on how several autumn Arctic Terns were identified. A new Staffordshire reservoir, Blithfield, contributed a number of interesting records in 1954. In addition to the classified' notes there are articles, in the 1953 report on "Breeding birds of the Tamworth district" and "Notes on seasonal population distribution of Curlew"; and in the 1954. report on "Birds of the Malvern district", "Migration of Swifts in north Warwickshire" (5 pages), "Buzzard Survey 1954", and "Birds of Cannock Reservoir" (7 pages).

  • Chapter 5: the Changing Geography of Bird Species Richness and Community 79 Composition; the Roles of Extirpations, Introductions and Colonisations
    The importance of Protected Areas for species undergoing distributional changes Jonathan Richard Hiley Doctor of Philosophy University of York Biology September 2017 Abstract The value of Protected Areas for wildlife will diminish if the species for which they were originally designated are pushed out of their boundaries by changing temperatures, or if they are infiltrated by invasive species that are harmful to native species. Here, I assess the performance of Protected Areas against this background of distributional change. I found that Protected Areas have facilitated the range expansions of the six wetland bird species that have recently colonised the UK, both as sites at which breeding first occurs and as locations where substantial populations can establish before spreading to unprotected land. In contrast, non-native species did not initially ‘invade’ Protected Areas, but subsequently colonised them as their populations grew. I complemented this analysis with a field research project in a Mexican Biosphere Reserve. Here, Strictly Protected Areas were resistant to non-native species (as in the UK), and important for species undergoing global population declines. However, partially-protected locations with habitat modification provided opportunities for both non-natives and native generalists. Consequently, modified areas were characterised by higher local-alpha diversity than relatively natural areas, although they contained relatively similar suites of species across different biogeographical zones. Thus, evaluating the impact of Protected Areas depended on the metric of biodiversity change considered, and on the level of protection. Similar patterns were revealed on a global scale (considering 118 countries). Range expansions (colonisations and introductions) have outpaced countrywide extirpations over the last two centuries, resulting in a c.4% average net increase in national breeding bird avifaunas, even though gamma- and beta-diversity have decreased.

    (379) REVIEWS. LOCAL REPORTS. [No reference is made in these notices to the Waxwing invasion of 1946-7 or inland occurrences of Curlew-Sandpipers and Little Stints in 1946, as these are covered by special reports in this and the following issues. Cornwall Bird-watching and Preservation Society : Sixteenth Annual Report 1946. The Cornwall Report again contains much useful and interesting informa­ tion, including a considerable amount of breeding data by Col. Ryves and a number of notes on habits, etc., as well as faunistic material. Three breeding pairs of Choughs are recorded, two of these evidently rearing young success­ fully, and it is gratifying to learn, after the onslaught on the Peregrines during the war, that pairs of these birds bred successfully at two sites and reared one and two young respectively. Short-eared Owls bred successfully for the fourth consecutive year and the nesting of a second pair is suspected. A pair of Blue-headed Wagtails bred in Marazion Marsh : coition and, later, a young bird accompanying the parents were seen. Fulmars are known to have bred at five sites on the north coast, including Trevone, where breeding took place in 1944, but not in 1945. Colonies appear to be forming, though breeding was not proved, at, several other points, including Land's End, and a pair probably bred on the west side of the Lizard peninsula, indicating an eastward extension along the south coast of the county. The Kittiwake colony found by Mr, Buxton on Gorregan in the Scillies in 1945 {antea, Vol. xxxix, p. 190) was again occupied, but none bred on Menavawr.

This report is about the environment of Birmingham, Solihull, much of the Black Country and parts of Warwickshire, what we call the West Midlands - Tame area. It is all the land that drains to the River Tame up to Kingsbury, just upstream of the River Purification Lakes at Lea Marston. The report looks at the physical environment of land, air, water, wildlife and heritage. It highlights the current quality of the environment, the natural resources of the area and how they can be protected. It also identifies specific environmental problems in the area and how they can be tackled. Why should I read it? The Environment Agency wants to hear your views on the issues facing the environment of the area and what you think should be done about them. Telling us your views will enable you to contribute to environmental protection and improvement and influence what the Environment Agency and others do. We will be pleased to receive any comments that you wish to make but in particular we are very keen to know: o what you think should be done about them? o how important do you think the issues are? o What you think of our proposals? o are there problems or opportunities that we have not included? o whether you can help to tackle any of the issues.

But to the west and south we have richly wooded roads, lanes and charming sylvan spots, which would gladden the heart of any lover of nature……the city as an abiding place for beautiful and rare wild birds.

  • Reviews Atlas of Breeding Birds of the West Midlands
    Reviews Atlas of Breeding Birds of the West Midlands. Edited by J. Lord and D. J. Munns. Published for the West Midland Bird Club by Collins, London, 1970. 276 pages; maps and line-drawings. 30s. The reasons for the decision by the British Trust for Ornithology to base their Ornithological Atlas of the British Isles fairly and squarely on the presence or absence of a breeding bird in each 10 km square rested on the possible, the practicable, the pecuniary and the fact that the West Midland Bird Club had stuck its neck out and was about to complete mapping a large and important area in three years flat. The appearance of their Atlas of Breeding Birds of the West Midlands comes half way through the field-work period for the National Atlas (1968-72)—exactly the right time to boost the flagging energies of the ornithological square-bashers. The keystones of the book are the nicely produced and easily under­ stood maps of the 121 species that bred in Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire during 1966-68. Each map is accompanied by brief notes outlining the background history of the species in the area (largely gleaned from previous West Midland Bird Club publications) and decorative line-drawings of variable quality. Thus each species receives a double-page spread in a field-guide sized book that is lavish for the material presented. The text on the Willow Warbler, for instance, amounts to 45 words, leaving over half a page of blank paper; the Moorhen and many others are little better. A larger format with slightly smaller maps would have reduced the number of pages with an economy that could have been passed on to the reader.
