Essex Bat Group Newsletter 2015 Spring
Spring Newsletter2015 A Bat In The Box... Andrew Palmer on the beginning of an important new bat box monitoring project It has been known for a fair while that Nathusius' pipistrelle are regularly encountered foraging in in the Lee Valley Regional Park just north and south of the M25 in an area dominated by major reservoirs and old flooded gravel workings. These significant water bodies combined with a mosaic of river courses, flood relief channels, permanent conservation grasslands, riparian trees, wet woodland and housing estates of various ages make for pip nirvana. Add in to the mix a large area of nearby woodland (Epping Forest) and the Thames estuary migration corridor and it is no wonder a small bats’ head might be turned. With records of rescued Nathusius' including a juvenile from the area and advertising males nearby, a search of the area was bound to produce more detections. In April 2014 a walk along the flood relief channel near Sewardstone produced an abundance of Nathusius' activity. As a consequence and with the help of Daniel Hargreaves the bat group arranged trapping nights in Gunpowder Park and at Fishers Green in August and September and caught Nathusius' pips on both nights (5 males). With a very positive and well established relationship with the site owners, the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, we asked if it would be possible to establish a bat box monitoring project, as part of the Essex Nathusius’ Pipistrelle Project, along the lines of that run by Patty Briggs at Bedfont Lakes, west London. Patty regularly finds good numbers of Nathusius' pips in the bat boxes set in wet woodland. -
Pulpit: the Joys of a Country Church and Churchyard
The ICCM Journal | Autumn 2016 | V84 No. 3 47 pulpit: the joys of a country church and churchyard Having moved from the 'smoke' to the 'sticks' three years ago, and as a total townie, I have really been delighted to discover both the farmland which now surrounds us and the beautiful and ancient churches with their churchyards packed with local history. At Felsted, near Chelmsford, we meet an illustrious gentleman born Richard Rich in 1496 or 1497. His monument (left) is in Holy Cross Church in Felsted and as you may surmise from its grandeur, he lived and died a very rich man. His wealth was greatly increased in 1536 when he was appointed Chancellor of the Court of Augmentations, a body which dealt with the huge amount of money coming in from the dissolution of the monasteries. Nice job! In the same year he also became Speaker of the House of Commons and in 1547 he was appointed Lord Chancellor of England. Now known as The Lord Rich (sometimes Riche) he founded a dynasty with sons assuming their father's title in due course. Rich was well-known for cruelty when dealing with religious opponents and was a participant in the torture of Anne Askew (1521-July 16, 1546), one of the earliest female English poets known to have composed in the English language and a Protestant condemned as a heretic by the English government. The only woman recorded to have been tortured at the Tower of London, Rich turned the wheels of the rack to torture her himself. -
