"Our Chairman. Mr. T. R. Ammonds" HEREFORDSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL REPORT 1978 321 The frontispiece to this report is a photograph of our· Chairman, Mr. T. R. Ammonds. Mr. Ammonds has been our chairman for 18 years. As a practical farmer he has given unsurpassed leadership in the cause of conserving our wild life. There was some hard late-winter weather in 1978, followed by .. a chilly spring, a cool but very dry summer, a fine autumn-and the year went out fiercely. Birds have a hard time of it, thanks to the destruction of 'cover', the drainage of marsh and pond and the felling of timber, backed by poisonous dressings and multiple road .. casualities. On the whole most species have stood up to it surprisingly well. The different fortunes are often hard to account for e.g. Sandmartins and Turtle Dove down, Long Tailed Tit and Woodpeckers up. Any light that members can shed on the see-saw is welcome. It is pleasing to see that many more members have sent in notes. Thanks are due to Mr. A. Marchant for having compiled a list of the contributors, printed at the end of this report. The object of notes is to keep track of the bird population rather than score marks for rarities. Even the recording of common species helps to maintain a finger on the pulse of bird status. Once again the Editor must adjure members to get in records on January 1st or as soon thereafter as possible. It is difficult to fit in notes once the compiling has begun. Our thanks are due to the Editorial Committee for their guidance -Dr. C. W. Walker, Colonel H. Morrey Salmon, Mr. F. W. Hinde and Mr. A. J. Smith.

Cold weather again plagued the breed­ ing season. I am pleased to say that the Pied Flycatcher and Great Tit are again on the increase, but the Blue Tits fell back to 1976 level. COMMENTS PROM RETURNS Dr. Boddington reported that one nest of Coal Tits contained 40 eggs, he came to the conclusion that only one female was involved. Several of the eggs had flimsy shells and were difficult to handle. A permit was obtained to photograph the nest. One box at Mowley Wood which was occupied by Blue Tits also contained one Pied Flycatcher. The chick was ringed and eventually flew. Mr. P. Gardner has had success with Treecreepers, one box contained four eggs and the young eventually flew. He took added precautions by armour plating the box against Woodpeckers. He also states that emergency repairs were carried out by Tetrion on other boxes. c. W. SHELDRAKE. HEREFOlU>SHlRE ORNlmOLOOICAL REPORT 1978 325 BY'ION BOXES Mr. M. Baddely, of Byton,has also conducted a local nest-box scneme. There were 53 boxes and 39 were utijized, a 75% 0ccu­ pation. No special preference was shown for any spcdes of tree. Ten species of bird successfully nested and fledgelings were as follows:- Tree Sparrow 65 "Blue Tit 63 Great Tit 36 Spotted Flycatcher 10 Stockdove 8 Marsh Tit 7 Starling 7 Pied Wagtail 5 House SparrOw 5 Kestrel 2 Total 228 326 HEREFORDSHIRE ORNImOLOGICAL REPORT 1978 RINGING REPORT FOR 1978 The increase in Ringing activities anticipated in the last report has materialised.

  • The Wye Catchment Partnership Plan
    The Wye Catchment Partnership Plan Hosted By: Supported By: Version: 2019-20 1 1. Introduction: The Wye Catchment The Wye catchment covers 4,285km2 spanning two countries and five counties. The River Wye stretches for over 200 kilometres from its source at Plynlimon in mid-Wales to the Severn estuary making it the fifth longest river in the UK. For most of its length the river runs through the Welsh Marches and has many significant tributaries including the Elan, Irfon, Ithon, Lugg and Monnow. The Wye is an internationally important habitat, reflected in its designation as a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The catchment is rich in wildlife and precious habitat which is recognised by its designated areas including the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), National Nature Reserves, Local Nature Reserves and terrestrial SSSI’s. The Wye flows through several sizeable towns including Builth Wells, Hay-on-Wye, Hereford, Monmouth and Chepstow with Kington, Leominster, Llandrindod Wells and Bromyard as the main towns within the tributary network. The main land-use is agriculture with livestock farming predominating in the north and west and intensive arable farming in the south and east of the catchment. There is some industry based around the major towns. The area offers many opportunities for water based recreation and the Wye and Lugg are unusual in that there is a public right of navigation in England. The River Wye is a well-established and nationally significant salmon, brown trout and coarse fish fishery. Elver fishing also takes place within the tidal reaches of the Wye.

    Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water Draft Water Resource Management Plan 2013 EXECUTIVE REPORT Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water Pentwyn Road, Nelson, Treharris Mid Glamorgan CF46 6LY www.dwrcymru.com Dŵr Cymru Cyfyngedig, is a limited company registered in Wales No. 2366777 Page | i Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water dWRMP 2013 Executive Report Preface One of our most important functions is to maintain safe and reliable supplies of drinking water to our customers. We do this by looking ahead to gauge the effects of climate change and the likely future demands of our domestic and business customers alike, whilst balancing these against the water available for supply, even in the driest years. In recognition of how important this is for our customers, we publish a Water Resources Management Plan (WRMP) which describes how we will manage and develop our available water resources every 5 years. This document is Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water’s draft Water Resource Management Plan covering the period 2015 to 2040. It describes how we intend to maintain water supplies for all of our 1.3 million domestic and 110,000 business customers in Wales and those adjoining parts of England. We want our customers to receive a safe and reliable service which meets all their expectations, at a price they can afford. It is therefore important to us that our stakeholders and customers are involved in the key decisions affecting how we should achieve that goal. We want your views on whether our Plan reflects the appropriate balance between the financial, social and environmental costs of the options open to us in maintaining water supplies into the future.
