This year’s report has been something of a headache for our contributors, and particularly for Tony Eveleigh and John Pullen who coordinate the Sys - tematic List of sightings. In its wisdom, the British Ornithological Union has made several major changes to the list – for instance, you may be sur - prised to note that the Long-Tailed Tit is no longer a tit. It’s officially in with the warblers. The list has always changed a bit over the years, as ornithologists and sci - entists have found different relationships between the species - but then they discovered DNA. The discovery has affected everything from paternity suits to crime de - tection; now it is altering the taxonomy of birds. The effect has been quite drastic and the list will probably change more frequently in the future. Most birdwatchers are not scientists and may find the whole issue con - fusing – possibly even unnecessary; to this end Gerald Wells, who is a sci - entist, has written an article explaining it. This appears on Page 18. Meanwhile, to make life easier for those of you who study the list and may be confused on not being able to find your favourite bird in its usual place, we have also included an alphabetical index to the Systematic List, which you will find on Page 98. My heartfelt thanks (and commiserations!) go to John and Tony and to all the contributors, as well as to Steve Coney who collates the sighting throughout the year. And lastly I must thank those members whose efforts with their cameras have, as usual, produced such stunning illustrations, not forgetting Gerald Parker whose drawings give a lift to the whole edition.

It often falls back Aonto the shoulders of a few volunteers within the club who are able to help, thus making our club become a more strategic player in this county environment. I will highlight just a few of the main themes this year which, as your chairman, I believe are important, as we end this 60th year. Over the decades the club has made great strides in its own development, and I would like to start with the main item, which has been: The Herefordshire breeding/ winter Bird Atlas e are now into the third year of this important project, which is a joint venture with BTO, as part of the national atlas. Our own sWpecial County Atlas is a project in which we endeavour to have the county’s area of some 545 x 2km tetrads covered over 5 years for both the breeding and winter seasons! This is no easy task and looking at the early results we have over 201 observers and some A rare visitor to Herefordshire – a Glossy Ibis All drawings by Gerald Parker 5 60,000 records submitted already. The numbers of species recorded are 140 winter species and 161 breeding species. We have, so far, al - located 75% tetrads, with 310 winter tetrads and 226 breeding tetrads having been completed. But this is only part of the project. In addition to being very enjoy - able and beneficial, the fieldwork also has a very serious side after all this effort in showing the way ahead for future species manage - ment and in delivering a record of the state of the health of all species in this county. The various environmental groups and Government bodies like Nat - ural England need data to help at a county level deliver some of their policies. In Herefordshire we have only patchy species records, but having a published Atlas book will create a yardstick for the next 15 to 20 years of scientific research. This knowledge has never been fully captured before and written down in this way with data that others can usefully interpret to help with the welfare of the species in this county. To this end, I recommend that the Club throw its full resources be - hind the project and then see the longer terms benefits and uses. The committee & its sub-committees s chairman I rely heavily on the committee to help deliver and guide us with all subjects. This year is no different from others, bAut it is always pleasing to see more new faces to provide some new blood. No committee should stand still, and we will always have dif - ficult challenges ahead, while understanding that we are all volunteers giving up our own time. So it’s important to remember that we can only support projects and not try to do everything everywhere! I would like once again to give a big thank you to all those members standing again or standing down, as their efforts have been a tremen - dous help over the past year in so many ways. Meetings he year seems to have disappeared too quickly, but again we have had an excellent programme of indoor and outdoor meetings, bTringing many of us together in all sorts of weather and birding op - portunities, including the well-run and excellent weekend break away 6 Great Grey Shrike to Dorset organ - ised by Chris Bartlett and John Vickerman. I can seriously recommend these annual trips to all of you as an excellent way of meeting fellow bird - ers and all helping each other out with improving your own knowledge of birds. A special thank you goes to Chris Mason and her team of helpers who organise the indoor meetings. Working together t is important to realise that the bird club cannot do everything, but opportunities arise where we can lend our expertise to help others iIn bird conservation. The Herefordshire Woodpecker project is one such project, along with others, like trying to influence the Council’s planning/policy di - rection by having our say on behalf of birds, when helping planners decide on applications, which could affect bird habitats. Finally we had the sad news during the year of the death of Beryl Bayliss, a good friend and carer for sick and injured birds in the county. We also lost another club stalwart, Elaine Evans, who will be greatly missed. Their obituaries can be found on page 96. I feel that we have a great strength in being a friendly club, which will enjoy real opportunities ahead to make us a leading light in the county, if we can complete big tasks like the Atlas project over the next few years. So please support us in the work and challenges that lie ahead, and speak to a committee member if you have ideas or want to become involved with the club, using your knowledge and skills to make a stronger band of willing volunteers to take forward our greatest in - terest which is the awareness of the birds throughout the county. Enjoy reading this report about the species seen around the County this year and some of the notable scarce birds that we can find with a bit of dedication!

  • The Birds of Herefordshire 2015
    The Birds of Herefordshire 2015 Herefordshire Ornithological Club Annual Report Jackdaws and Hereford cattle at Much Marcle in March 2015 (Photo: Mick Colquhoun) Editorial This is the 65th annual report of the ‘Birds of Herefordshire’, the Herefordshire Ornithological Club’s (HOC) annual publication for 2015, which I hope you will enjoy reading. During the year a total of 172 species were recorded, summary details and highlights of which are presented in the systematic list section on pages 30 – 98, for which I wish to thank the species authors. An alphabetic index of species is included on pages 146 – 147 to help readers locate individual species information and a gazetteer of place names mentioned in the species accounts is provided on pages 142 – 145. The county list of species (now numbering 281) was boosted by the sighting of a Spotted Sandpiper, a county ‘first’, at Wellington Gravel Pits in May 2015 (see article on pages 28 – 29), and seven other rarities with 20 or fewer previous county records also made an appearance in Herefordshire during the year: Red-crested Pochard, Marsh Harrier, Turnstone, Temminck’s Stint, Red-necked Phalarope, Caspian Gull and Common Redpoll. A tremendous amount of effort has gone into validating the records of rarities on the county list during the past year and the review article on pages 12 – 18 makes enlightening reading and provides a definitive list and dates of sightings for all 94 rarity species with 20 or fewer records. The large increase in the number of bird records received in 2014, compared with previous years, continued in 2015 with a similar 46,000 records being utilised in compiling this annual report.

  • ELECTORAL REVIEW of HEREFORDSHIRE
    22 November 2012 Review Officer (Herefordshire) LGBCE, Layden House, 76-86 Turnmill Street, London EC1M 5LG Dear Sir ELECTORAL REVIEW of HEREFORDSHIRE I support the Commission’s plan for a 53 member council made up of single member wards, and hope the Commission will resist any moves to make way for any multi- member wards. There were some gremlins however in your report – most notably mis- reading of compass bearings! Eardisley is firmly located in the west, whereas Colwall is the east (page 15), and Fownhope is east of Hereford (page 17). But the Commission is to be congratulated on steering through a workable solution despite all the constraints imposed both by the regulations and the socio-political geography of Herefordshire. There does seem to be some problem with Holmer parish which has been included within adjacent areas of Hereford city without making this clear. This seems certain to meet with justified resistance from residents of Holmer parish. Otherwise I support the thrust of proposals for warding within Hereford city, as well as those for Ledbury and Leominster, and am content with the proposals for Ross on Wye. I support the bulk of the Commission’s proposals in rural areas but have some suggestions below which better match community links. First some suggestions for change of name of proposed rural wards LGBCE Nov 2012 comment preferred name Burghill long straggly ward from outskirts of Queenswood Leominster to Hereford Bishops Frome potential confusion with other communities Cradley within Frome valley which aren’t is this ward – prefer name of main parish in the ward Walford prefer current name which implies links Kerne Bridge across River Wye Ashperton Frome valley Clehonger name Madley as more central parish Madley & Clehonger Kimbolton Kimbolton & Brimfield Colwall The Commission has suggested that Mathon be added to Colwall but Colwall ward is already large enough and Mathon has stronger ties with Cradley so inclusion with Bishop’s Frome, renamed Cradley , would produce slightly more balanced electorates.

Then it discovered that Violet Heggie from the Womens Royal Naval Service (Wren) was planning a wedding. “The Wren will wear white – she’s going ashore this Easter to exchange a uniform of navy blue for a wedding gown,” wrote lllustrated staff writer Isobel Robertson as Violet, or ‘Chick’ to her friends, was whisked away on a glamour shoot around the shops of Oxford Street, Chelsea and Knightsbridge. Having served three years with the Wrens, Chick was leaving life aboard HMS President to marry Elved Reed at St Martin’s, Hereford on Easter Monday 1949. (Elved was the son of Arthur Reed, the boy soldier featured in IOA 31.) What do you think of the bridesmaid’s dress? “Her “Her only acquaintance with New Look, the Tube Look mother in Hereford was seeing to the catering for 120 and all the other looks [has been] window-shopping in the guests,” explained Illustrated magazine. West End,” declared Illustrated. Chick, who would become the fashion buyer for Chadds, Hereford now became briefly the bride-to-be model for photographer Russell Westwood. So how much did she spend on her trousseau? Turn to page 5 to find out. “She couldn’t resist trying on this wedding gown when she went trousseau shopping at an Oxford Street store.” Happy 2015 A happy new year and a warm welcome to “Plenty of assistance is offered by Chick’s cabin mates.” subscribers, new and old.

A number of the survey questions invited free-write comments or suggestions on aspects of land use and development. The resultant responses are set out in the following tables, taking each question in turn. Comments are repeated verbatim and place names are as given. The comments have been analysed to identify the main themes and issues raised, and the findings of this work are set out in the Results Report. Completed questionnaires have been numbered to aid analysis, and these numbers are given here. Questionnaires remain anonymous.
