Following publication of the 1993 issue and after discussions with Norfolk Bird Club, it as been agreed that the Club will assume responsibility for compiling the annual county i i -/stematic list commencing with the events of 1994. Readers will have noticed that the amount of space in the 1993 Norfolk Bird Report jvoted to the species list has almost trebled during the last three issues in an attempt to icet criticism that Norfolk was publishing insufficient information on the more abundant id widespread species. This increase in the size of recent classified lists has placed a ibstantial burden on the recording team. At the same time Norfolk Bird Club has been uplicating some of this effort in its two-monthly Bulletins. The new arrangements, itirely amicable ones, will enable the Club to devote more space in its Bulletins to articles id allow topical publication of ornithological highlights. An explanation of the changes and an introduction to those now involved appears below: enior Editor: Michael J. Seago esponsible, on behalf of the Society as publishers, for editing the Report as a whole, ommissioning articles and illustrations, organising the layout, style and size of the ublication and liaising with the printers. iditor of Systematic List and County Recorder: Michael E.S.

Regular readers will know that since the 1982 issue, the Norfolk Bird Report has beer published by the Norfolk & Norwich Naturalists Society in conjunction with Norfolk Ornithologists Association. Throughout this period the Society has enjoyed the ready co operation of Peter Clarke who, since the publication of the last Report, has retired as Warden of Holme Bird Observatory and Secretary of NOA. We take this opportunity to wish both Peter and his wife, Margaret, a long and happy retirement. Looking to the future the Society looks forward to working with the new team at Holme and welcomes its decision to continue the association whereby members of NOA receive copies of the annual Bird & Mammal Report.

To the north the character area boundary is marked by the adjacent River Nar character area and to the west by the district boundary and a change in character to a more settled area of farmland and plantations. To the south and east the landform falls towards the River Wissey. Key Characteristics • Drift deposits of sand, clay and gravel create a gently undulating landscape, with topography ranging from 10-70m AOD across the character area. • Free draining sandy soils support the functional land cover of arable cultivation, pig farming and plantation woodland. • Ancient, contorted scots pine shelterbelts and screening belts of trees provide shelter to the easily eroded brown soils and are a prominent landscape feature. • At Cockleycley Heath and Swaffham Heath, the woodland plantation blocks create a visually prominent feature in the landscape. • The large scale arable fields are delineated by hedgerows in variable condition from occasional species rich intact hedgerows with hedgerow trees, thorn hedges and pine lines. • Breckland Farmland SSSI covers a large part of the character area – the cultivated land proving a habitat for stone curlew.

  • June 2019 Tour Report Norfolk in Early Summer with Nick Acheson
    Tour Report UK – Norfolk in Early Spring with Nick Acheson 10 – 14 June 2019 Norfolk hawker dragonfly Stone curlew Bittern Marsh harrier Compiled by Nick Acheson 01962 302086 [email protected] www.wildlifeworldwide.com Tour Leader: Nick Acheson Day 1: Monday 10 June 2019 Months in advance, when planning tours to see swallowtail butterflies, dragonflies, wildflowers and summer birds in June, you don’t give a great deal of thought to a wild storm hitting — bringing wind, heavy rain and floods — and sticking around for a whole week. But such a storm hit today as you all reached Norfolk for the start of your tour. We met in the early afternoon at Knights Hill Hotel and, despite the rain, decided to head for RSPB Titchwell Marsh. Here we did manage to see a number of very nice birds, including many avocets and Mediterranean gulls, plenty of gadwall, teal and shoveler, a female marsh harrier, a ringed plover, a Sandwich tern, a fleeting bearded tit and a flyover spoonbill. However probably the most striking aspect of the afternoon was the relentless rain, which soaked us through whenever we were foolhardy enough to step outside a hide. Day 2: Tuesday 11 June 2019 In our original plan we should have headed to the Brecks today, but we decided instead — given the forecast of heavy rain all day — to drive along the North Norfolk coast, in the knowledge that at Norfolk Wildlife Trust Cley Marshes we could at least shelter in the hides. When we reached Cley, it was indeed raining very hard so we sped to Bishop’s Hide, the closest of all the hides.

    DAVID TYLDESLEY AND ASSOCIATES PLANNING, LANDSCAPE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS Habitat Regulations Assessment: Breckland Council Submission Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Document Durwyn Liley, Rachel Hoskin, John Underhill-Day & David Tyldesley 1 DRAFT Date: 7th November 2008 Version: Draft Recommended Citation: Liley, D., Hoskin, R., Underhill-Day, J. & Tyldesley, D. (2008). Habitat Regulations Assessment: Breckland Council Submission Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Document. Footprint Ecology, Wareham, Dorset. Report for Breckland District Council. 2 Summary This document records the results of a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) of Breckland District Council’s Core Strategy. The Breckland District lies in an area of considerable importance for nature conservation with a number of European Sites located within and just outside the District. The range of sites, habitats and designations is complex. Taking an area of search of 20km around the District boundary as an initial screening for relevant protected sites the assessment identified five different SPAs, ten different SACs and eight different Ramsar sites. Following on from this initial screening the assessment identifies the following potential adverse effects which are addressed within the appropriate assessment: • Reduction in the density of Breckland SPA Annex I bird species (stone curlew, nightjar, woodlark) near to new housing. • Increased levels of recreational activity resulting in increased disturbance to Breckland SPA Annex I bird species (stone curlew, nightjar, woodlark). • Increased levels of people on and around the heaths, resulting in an increase in urban effects such as increased fire risk, fly-tipping, trampling. • Increased levels of recreation to the Norfolk Coast (including the Wash), potentially resulting in disturbance to interest features and other recreational impacts.

  • 233 08 SD50 Environment Permitting Decision Document
    Environment Agency permitting decisions Bespoke permit We have decided to grant the permit for Didlington Farm Poultry Unit operated by Mr Robert Anderson, Mrs Rosamond Anderson and Mr Marcus Anderson. The permit number is EPR/EP3937EP. We consider in reaching that decision we have taken into account all relevant considerations and legal requirements and that the permit will ensure that the appropriate level of environmental protection is provided. Purpose of this document This decision document: • explains how the application has been determined • provides a record of the decision-making process • shows how all relevant factors have been taken into account • justifies the specific conditions in the permit other than those in our generic permit template. Unless the decision document specifies otherwise we have accepted the applicant’s proposals. Structure of this document • Key issues • Annex 1 the decision checklist • Annex 2 the consultation, web publicising responses. EPR/EP3937EP/A001 Page 1 of 12 Key Issues 1) Ammonia Impacts There are two Special Areas for Conservation (SAC) within 3.4km, one Special Protection Area (SPA) within 850m, seven Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) within 4.9km and six Local Wildlife Sites (LWS) within 1.4km of the facility, one of which is within 250m. Assessment of SAC and SPA If the Process Contribution (PC) is below 4% of the relevant critical level (CLe) or critical load (CLo) then the farm can be permitted with no further assessment. Initial screening using Ammonia Screening Tool (AST) v4.4 has indicated that the PC for Breckland SAC, Norfolk Valley Fens SAC and Breckland SPA is predicted to be greater than 4% of the CLe for ammonia.
