All contributions, from both residents and visitors to the county, in the form of records, papers, drawings and photographs are welcomed. All contributors are acknowledged in the report. These notes should assist you WHATif you wish RECORDS to contribute DO WE to WANT? the report. Due to the volume of records received, it is not possible to list every one in the report. The report is an edited summary of these records, aimed at highlighting the occurrence and status of each species in a particular year. All records, however, are valuable and are archived in the DBC database, managed through the Dorset Environmental Records Centre, where they can be accessed by groups or individuals for future studies. Please refer to ‘The Dorset List’, on pages 10 - 14, which lists the type of records requested for each species. Species requiring a full written description are marked with either (*) for national rarities, or (D) for birds which are rare or scarce in Dorset. Descriptions of national rarities will be forwarded to the British Birds Rarities Committee (BBRC), whilst records of locally rare or scarce birds will be assessed by the Dorset Records Panel (DRP). The Dorset Records Panel reserves the right to request further information in order to assess records, if necessary. This may include records of species not usually requiring a full written description if they are, for example, reported from an unusual location or time of ANDyear. WHEREUnsubstantiated FROM? records will not be published. all Records are welcomed from parts of the county. There is a natural bias towards coastal sites and nature reserves as they are excellent places to see birds. Many of these sites produce their own reports, which are incorporated into the Dorset Bird Report. Records away from these sites are often thin on the ground, so ‘local patch’ records and casual recording from less well-watched areas are very important. These enable us to gain as full a picture as possible of what is happening to Dorset’s birds. Many national surveys are carried out annually in the county as part of a wider picture of the UK’s bird life. A copy of any Dorset results would be greatly appreciated – the information will be added to our HOWdatabase. SHOULD I SEND MY RECORDS IN? Casual records and descriptions of rare and scarce birds can be e-mailed to the DBC at the dorsetbirdclub@hotmailfollowing address: .com This is also the correct address to send any local patch bird reports to, as well as any completed DBC spreadsheets. If you do not have access to e-mail, please send your records by post to the County Recorder. The address can be found on page 5 of this report. 6 Dorset Bird Report 2012 DBR2012 Master Text.indd 6 07/09/2015 10:51 WHEN SHOULD I SUBMIT MY RECORDS? as soon after the sighting as possible Recordswww.bbrc.org.uk of birds requiring full written descriptions should be submitted .

Both forms are also available from the County Recorder. If possible, individual records should be sent to the County Recorder periodically throughout the year to enable them to be logged on to the database over a period of time. This will help to ensure that there will not be a backlog of data inputting to be done at the last minute (and so hold up production of the report). end of January Please, at the latest, send records in by the the following year.

It was the second wettest year since records began in 1910 with June being the wettest on record. In early February there was a brief cold snap, which saw the likes of Lytchett Bay become 95% frozen as well as the Fleet becoming extensively covered in ice. These conditions prompted a bit of a localised cold weather movement but also included the arrival of a few Smew amongst other expected winter wanderers. Unsurprisingly, given the amount of rainfall, the summer wasTemperature one in of South the England dullest 2012 in terms of sunshine recorded.

  • 112071 Newsletter Jan 2012
    RSPB SOUTH DORSET LOCAL GROUP NEWSLETTER No 60 January 2012 The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) is a registered charity: England and Wales no. 207076, Scotland no.SC037654 The RSPB speaks out for birds and wildlife, tackling the problems that threaten our environ- ment. Nature is amazing - help us keep it that way We belong to BirdLife International, the global partnership of bird conservation organizations . GROUP LEADERS COLUMN The indoor meetings programme this season has been notable for changes of speaker and there are further changes to come. The 15 th September meeting was to have been addressed by David Waters Chair of the Great Bustard Group. Andrew Taylor, formerly of Weymouth Wetlands now works for the Great Bustard Group and volunteered to give the talk becoming, I believe, the youngest speaker ever to address the group. At the second meeting Paul Buckley the Regional Conservation Manager at Exeter substituted for Dieter Hoffman and gave a talk on RSPB’s International Work. The November and December meetings went according to plan and hopefully the January and February 2012 meetings will also be as planned. The speakers for 15 th March, Rees Cox and 19 th April Nick Tomlinson have both had to cancel. After some thought I have offered the March 2012 date to a speaker I had originally hoped to book for March 2013 but I have yet to receive confirmation. We are also looking for a speaker from inside the group to give a short talk 45-60mins (max) after the AGM, any volunteers? After Bruce Painting left the committee at the last AGM I took on the Indoor Meetings Secretary’s role myself.

  • Debbie Tulett Portland Resident
    Ref: Planning application: WP/20/00692/DCC OBJECTION TO THE POWERFUEL PORTLAND LTD PLANNING APPLICATION THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE DORSET WASTE PLAN 2019 (Adopted December 2019) POLICY 18 Biodiversity and geological interest Natura 2000 Sites Proposals for waste management facilities must not adversely affect the integrity of European or Ramsar or other internationally designated sites, either alone or in combination with other plans and projects. Sites of national and local importance: Development which adversely affects a Site of Special Scientific Interest will not normally be permitted, except where the benefits of the development at the site clearly outweigh the impacts on the features of the site. Policies 1-6 of the DWP establish that the benefits of the development of the site clearly do not outweigh the impacts of the features of the site and that there is no ‘need’ for a waste incinerator at this location other than for personal financial gain. This proposed site not only abuts a SSSI and is within metres of a SAC, but within 10km of the site there are numerous conservation designations. Therefore this proposal is in breach of the Dorset Waste Plan 2019 Policy 18 OVERVIEW: The Isle of Portland is a magnificent place for birdwatching, known as one of the best in Britain and is renowned for its migratory birds and passing seabirds. Habitats include cliffs, old quarries, farmland, dense scrub, rough pasture, clumps of trees and residential gardens. Portland is one of the UK’s best-known birdwatching areas. The abundance of Portland’s wildlife is remarkable, as the unique beauty of Portland has various habitats supporting a diverse range of animals, birds and plants.

  • Canford Heath
    Welcome to Canford Heath History of Canford Heath Wildlife of Canford Heath Bronze Age settlers started to clear the Birch and Oak The heaths of Dorset should be largely open areas of This heath is one of the largest remaining heaths in by Supported Dorset, lying between Broadstone to the west and woodland that once covered South East Dorset around heather and gorse, with few trees. Canford Heath is Knighton Heath Golf Course in the east. Since the 1940’s 3,500 years ago to create fields and pastures. Bronze Age dominated by the purple floweringCommon Heather the area of heathland has been much reduced but it still burial mounds can still be seen on Canford Heath. (Ling) with the brighter flowered Bell Heather and fine covers over 850 acres (380 hectares – equivalent to 532 Bristle Bent Grass blended in amongst it. In July the yellow Wembley sized football pitches!). Children gathering furze (gorse). flowers of Western Gorse appear giving an attractive contrast of colours. You can easily spend two hours walking around the site, although there are many shorter routes of around ½ hour In June or July the waving cotton-wool tufts of the Cotton Grass and the paler flowered, greyish Cross-Leaved Heath to be enjoyed as well. With its valleys and hills accentuating highlight the areas of wet heath and bog.
