HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL REPORT, 1975 212 EDITORIAL NOTE Before going to press we have heard the very sad news of the death of our President, Mr. R. H. Baillie. With him goes one of the great figures of the Club from its first inception. During the year Mr. W. H. Meadham was elected an Honorary Member, in recognition of his long and signal servIces to the Club. The year 1975, according to present ,pattern, gave us an easy late­ winter, followed by a chilly spring (frost up to June). This in turn led to a fine, hot summer and mild autumn. But the main feature has been sustained drought (e.g. Madley 17-year average rainfall 28.08ins., this year only 18.05ins.). There has been both loss and profit, some of it accountable, some mysterious. All birds which need marsh or static water have suffered. The cold spring delayed the Swallow tribe, and few second broods were reared. Loss of timber affects Nuthatch and Treecreeper. Less accountably the Redstart remains 'at a low ebb and Sand~artin at very low ebb. Turtle Doves recede. Yet Whitethroats show an upward trend. Most insect-eating species have done well, especially the game birds. Stonechats contnue upwards. Raptors have flourished. Any evidence and any thought-out theories are welcome. There is one "first", Wilson's Phalarope, and one second, Ruddy Duck. Nightjar, Woodlark, Corncrake, Quail all just keep their name on the books, and Corn Bunting widens its territory. Altogether a fair year for the bird-watcher. T.R.H.O. PUBLICATIONS. Copies of "Herefordshire Birds" (Captain H. A. Gilbert and Dr. C. W. Walker) are no longer available; but "Birds of Radnorshire" (G. C. S. Ingram and Colonel Money Salmon) can be obtained, as can most past Reports, from the Secretary at 50 pence a copy, which covers postage. Both the above publications are under review. NUMBERS of the Club have now topped the 600 and stand at 610. Our THANKS are due, as usual, to all organizers of Club activ­ ities; to the Editorial Committee-Dr. C. W. Walker, Colonel Morrey Salmon, Mr. P. W. Hinde, Mr. A. J. Smith and Mrs. Bromley, and to every contributor who has made this Report possible. 213 HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL REPORT, 1975 CLUB ACTIVITIES have been as follows:- FIELD MEETINGS January Bircher-Fishpools Valley February Coach outing to Slimbridge and Belvide Reservoir March Maelienydd ..

Film Show HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL REPORT, 1975 214 WOODLAND NESTBOX SCHEME - 1975 Our County Trust for Nature Conservation relies on 30 members of the Herefordshire Ornithological Club for assistance in running the 'nestbox' scheme on 36 woodland sites. Our thanks are due to these members, and to the landowners who give facilities in their woods. 897 boxes were recorded-the occupation rate was 62%. Blue Tits accounted for 241 nests, Great Tits 156 and Pied Flycatchers 104 (94 in 1974). 458 young Pied Flycatchers left the boxes; in contrast only four Redstarts fledged from 4 nests. WREN. 15 nests, and making increasing use of the standard type box. NUTHATCH. 7 nests, an aB time 'high'. MARSH TIT. Consistently successful at Brockhampton, and very 'attached' to their territories. REDSTART. 4 nests. A quarter of the number in the mid-sixties. TAWNY OWL. 2 nests. Remains of Woodpigeons in one of the nests. PIED FLYCATCHER. ]n the Titley area was a bird which was ringed locally as an adult in 1970 and still breeding there in 1975. The male of a pair at Whitney was found dead bes:de the female who was still sitting on eggs. The female reared six young, presumably single handed. But this was in a very favourable year for temperatures and food. Mr. and Mrs. P. Gardner ran the most successful Pied Flycatcher site, near Ludlow. With 15 nests, they were followed by Mr. A. Mar­ chant (13), Mr. J. H. Watkins (12) and Mr. J. J. Smith (11). Owing to severe vandalism on one site, it seems unwise, regretfully, to mention locations. We had hoped, indeed believed, that creosote applied in early April to the bottom and edges of boxes was a complete deterrent to the Wood Mouse, the main predator on the nests in Herefordshire. But this is only partly true. The Nature Trust is now experimenting with two other repellents. Apart from casualties amongst Tits' nests at the end of May owing to frost and cold winds, the season appeared to be very favourable for breeding purposes, and most young birds fledged in good weather and with ample insect food at hand.

  • Madley Parish Council Reg16 Comments
    Latham, James From: Turner, Andrew Sent: 12 February 2020 15:35 To: Neighbourhood Planning Team Subject: RE: Madley Regulation 16 submission neighbourhood development plan consultation RE: Madley Regulation 16 submission neighbourhood development plan Dear Neighbourhood Planning Team, I refer to the above and would make the following comments with regard to the above proposed development plan. It is my understanding that you do not require comment on Core Strategy proposals as part of this consultation or comment on sites which are awaiting or have already been granted planning approval. Having reviewed records readily available, I would advise the following: Policy MH2L Land west of Archenfield, Madley A review of Ordnance survey historical plans indicate the proposed site allocated for development (indicated in grey on Plan 4); Land west of Archenfield, appears to have had no previous historic potentially contaminative uses. Policy MH5 Housing in the wider countryside Some farm buildings may be used for the storage of potentially contaminative substances (oils, herbicides, pesticides) or for the maintenance and repair of vehicles and machinery. As such it is possible that unforeseen contamination may be present on the site. Consideration should be given to the possibility of encountering contamination on the site as a result of its former uses and specialist advice be sought should any be encountered during the development. Regarding sites with a historic agricultural use, I would mention that agricultural practices such as uncontrolled burial of wastes or excessive pesticide or herbicide application may be thought of as potentially contaminative and any development should consider this. Policy MB1 Madley Airfield (indicated in purple on plan 5) The Airfield’s potentially contaminative use would require consideration prior to any development.

  • HEREFORDSHIRE Is Repeatedly Referred to in Domesday As Lying In
    ABO BLOOD GROUPS, HUMAN HISTORY AND LANGUAGE IN HEREFORDSHIRE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE LOW B FREQUENCY IN EUROPE I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Aberystwyth Received6.x.64 1.INTRODUCTION HEREFORDSHIREis repeatedly referred to in Domesday as lying in Wales and the county is regularly described as such in the Pipe Rolls until 1249-50. Of the two dozen or so charters granted to the county town, a number are addressed to the citizens of Hereford in Wales. That fluency in Welsh was until 1855oneof the qualifications for the post of clerk to the Hereford city magistrates indicated the county's bilingual nature. The object of the present investigation is to ascertain whether there is any significant genetic difference between the part of Herefordshire conquered by the Anglo-Saxons and the area called "Welsh Hereford- shire ".Assome moorland parishes have lost 50 per cent. of their inhabitants during the last 50 years, the need to carry out the survey is the more pressing. 2.THE HUMAN HISTORY OF HEREFORDSHIRE Pre-Norman Conquest Offa'sgeneral line of demarcation between England and Wales in the eighth century extending in Herefordshire from near Lyonshall to Bridge Sollars, about five miles upstream from Hereford, is inter- mittent in the well-wooded lowlands, being only found in the Saxon clearings. From this Fox (i) infers that the intervening forest with its dense thickets of thorn and bramble filling the space under the tree canopy was an impassable barrier. Downstream to Redbrook (Glos.) the river was probably the boundary but the ferry crossing from Beachley to Aust and the tidal navigational rights up the Wye were retained by the Welsh—facts which suggest that the Dyke was in the nature of an agreed frontier.

  • SHLAA Rural Repot
    Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment - Rural Report November 2015 Important Notice SHLAA Disclaimer In relation to the information contained within this report and any other report relating to the findings of Herefordshire Council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment, the council makes the following disclaimer without prejudice: The SHLAA document seeks to identify and assess land available with housing potential to inform future housing allocations. The Council is required to carry out, maintain and update its SHLAAs. The key points that should be acknowledged when referring to this document are: • The SHLAA only identifies sites with or without development potential; it does not allocate sites in the manner of an adopted plan. • The SHLAA is based on the most up to date information available (supplied and researched) at the time of the document’s preparation. Therefore factors may be subject to change over time and may have an effect on any site. They may include, but are not limited to: - site boundaries - assessment information - constraints may be mitigated/overcome or additional factors may be identified - likely development timescales may be subject to change - site capacity or densities may be subject to change as additional information is developed and masterplanning detail takes place - the availability of the site may be reassessed by the landowner • The inclusion of a site within this document does not imply that the Council would necessarily grant planning permission for residential use. Similarly, the exclusion of sites from the study does not preclude the possibility of planning permission for development being granted. • The inclusion of a site within the document does not preclude them from being developed for other purposes.

SUBMISSION TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FROM BREINTON PARISH COUNCIL ELECTORAL REVIEW OF HEREFORDSHIRE COUNCIL 2012 Breinton is a small rural parish (396 Council tax paying households in 2012, 711 registered electors in 2011) immediately to the west of Hereford city. The boundaries of the parish are as follows: To the north and west – Stretton Sugwas & Kenchester parishes, To the south - the River Wye, and To the east – Hereford City (St Nicholas and Three Elms wards) The four parishes of Breinton, Stretton Sugwas, Kenchester and Credenhill currently form the Credenhill ward of Herefordshire Council. Breinton is currently un-warded and so, on our understanding of electoral law, the parish cannot be split between different county wards Breinton parish council believes that the current arrangement of wards for Herefordshire Council in its area should continue and not be changed by the current review for the following reasons. 1) There are strong similarities between Breinton, Kenchester and Stretton Sugwas including the scatter of small settlements, employment of residents, age profile, open & rural landscape and the issues facing local councillors and the people they represent. These parishes have been designated by Herefordshire Council as part of the Hereford rural sub-locality i.e. the rural fringe of the historic city.
