The records total submitted just exceeds our previous record year of 2006, which was a year when the sun really shone. Below we show where the recording took place in 2009, with a total of 638 tetrads visited. NORTHUMBERLAND & DURHAM TETRADS VISITED IN 2009 Recording: 2009 was, of course, the year of the Painted Lady which arrived in large numbers in May, but was not the only immigrant to our region: a Long-tailed Blue was recorded at New Hartley, evidently an unwitting passenger in imported foodstuffs. It was unlikely to have found a mate, whereas the Painted Ladies bred to produce fresh specimens later in the season which apparently headed home in the autumn; it will be interesting to see if any hibernated here to emerge in the spring. However, that other migrant, Clouded Yellow was not seen here in 2009. The summer weather in our region was again poor, not quite as bad as 2008, but enough to affect some species noticeably: some of the UK Biodiversity Action Plan's priority species, Large Heath, Wall, Grayling and Dingy Skipper apear to have coped quite well in places, while Northern Brown Argus has declined despite being rediscovered in old habitat, and interesting ova records were submitted for White-letter Hairstreak. Of the species not given priority status even the ubiquitous Meadow Brown, normally resilient, took a heavy hit, and Holly Blue was recorded rarely enough to suggest that its population has shrunk catastrophically; we shall have to make a special point of looking for this butterfly whose first brood normally appears in mid- 3 April. We shall also be hoping to see Gatekeeper establish itself more securely in the region after a very thin year. The graph below shows that our records database grew steadily over the first part of the Butterflies for the New Millennium Project and that recorders have maintained their enthusiasm over the subsequent years, despite the fluctuations in our summer weather that we have experienced recently. NORTH EAST ENGLAND: RECORDS & RECORDERS, 1995 - 2009 20,000 250 18,000 Records 16,000 Recorders 200 14,000 12,000 150 10,000 8,000 100 6,000 Recorders (line) Recorders Records (columns) 4,000 50 2,000 0 0 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Year In 2009 Butterfly Conservation introduced its Wider Countryside Butterfly Survey (WCBS): the idea was to try to discover how widespread butterflies are, not just in the hotspots of people's gardens or the sites patrolled by transect walkers, but in a random scatter of OS grid squares which might or might not contain any butterflies. Volunteers were sent a map of their square(s) and asked to plot two 1 km. walks on it, ideally parallel and not closer than 200 metres apart, to get permission from landowners, to submit the route for approval and to undertake a minimum of two walks in the summer. Special thanks to everyone who struggled through remote bogs or trudged urban streets possibly devoid of butterflies. WCBS was something of an experiment, but is now going to continue in 2010; more volunteers should approach Brian Denham, our transect co-ordinator. As well as casual records, we collect data from regular transect walkers and, in 2009 a total of 28 transect were covered giving valuable systematic data for headquarters which will be used to assess trends in numbers of our commoner species. Given the population of this corner of England and our relatively small membership, this is a magnificent total and congratulations are due to everyone who took part. Whereas casual records are used to assess distribution and ranges, transect data is used to assess changes in abundance from year to year and decade to decade and is a key conservation tool. 2009 marked the end of the third five-yearly phase of the Butterflies for the New Millennium Project. The end of the first phase was marked by the publication of the Atlas1 and the end of the second phase by an update2. It is anticipated that these will be brought up-to-date by a further publication in due course, to which our regional records will have made a valuable contribution. In the meantime, I trust you will all keep on recording, particularly of our less common species as without records, we cannot tell how they are faring. 1 Asher, J., Warren, M., Fox, R., Harding, P., Jeffcoate, P., Jeffcoate, S., 2001.

  • Durham Rare Plant Register 2016
    County Durham Rare Plant Register 2016 JOHN L. DURKIN MSc. MCIEEM BSBI Recorder for County Durham 25 May Avenue. Winlaton Mill, Blaydon, NE21 6SF [email protected] www.durhamnature.co.uk Contents Introduction to the rare plants register Notes on plant distribution and protection The individual species accounts in alphabetical order Site Index First published 2010. This is the 2016, fourth edition of the “RPR”, dedicated to Keith Cunningham, who helped so much with the early databases and in many other ways. Improvements in this edition include- The new English Red List is incorporated into this edition. An additional 10% records, most of these more recent and more precise. Cover picture—Bird’s Eye Primrose at Widdybank Fell. Introduction Most counties are in the process of compiling a County Rare Plant Register, to assist in the study and conservation of their rare species. The process is made easier if the county has a published Flora and a strong Biological Records Centre, and Durham is fortunate to have Gordon Graham's Flora and the Durham Wildlife Trust’s “Recorder" system. We have also had a Biodiversity project, based at Rainton Meadows, which until 2013 carried out conservation projects to protect the rare species. It is hoped that the “RPR” will act as a stimulus for local botanists to make special efforts to improve the database by recording these species. The register will be used to increase our understanding of the status and distribution of the rare species, and to aid and promote their conservation. Species Covered Three groups of vascular plant species are included.

  • Statutory Notice
    Statutory Notice THIS NOTICE REPLACES A PREVIOUS NOTICE PUBLISHED ON 19 JUNE 2015, WHICH HAS NOW BEEN WITHDRAWN. Notice is hereby given in accordance with Regulation 4 of The School Organisation (Removal of Foundation, Reduction in Number of Foundation Governors and Ability of Foundation to Pay Debts) (England) Regulations 2007 that the following Schools: Bellingham First School, Redesmouth Road, Bellingham, Hexham NE48 2EL; and Bellingham Middle School and Sports College, Redesmouth Road, Bellingham, Hexham, Northumberland NE48 2EN have published proposals to remove the North Pennine Learning Partnership (“NPLP”) as their foundation. In the interests of providing further information, Haydon Bridge High School also forms part of the NPLP, but it should be noted that proposals for this school are not included in this Statutory Notice. The proposed implementation date (i.e. the date upon which NPLP would be removed as the foundation for Bellingham First School and Bellingham Middle School and Sports College) is 9th August 2015. Within six weeks from the date of publication of these proposals, by midnight on Thursday 6th August 2015, any person may object to or make comments on the proposals by writing to either of the two Schools at the addresses above. Why it is proposed to remove NPLP as the foundation The aim of the Trust was to improve the educational opportunities for all children within the partnership and create professional development opportunities for all staff and governors. In the early years of the Trust there were shared educational activities between the Schools but these have not been sustained and in later years the individual schools have all faced increased challenges which the Trust was unable to support.

This edition is ―regionally aligned‖, that is, several species which are county rare in Northumberland, but were narrowly rejected for the Durham first edition, are now included. There is now a site index. Cover picture—Dark Red Helleborine at Bishop Middleham Quarry, its premier British site.
