Geomorphology - Part of a plateau at approximately 75 metres (200 feet above sea level) between the Rivers Hart and Whitewater. Soils - Mostly poorly drained but not waterlogged acid clay/sand loams with stones. Hydrology & Hydrochemistry - All the water courses are quite minor and some lack water in dry periods. The largest drain flows from Dilly Lane across the commons in a generally northerly direction, underneath the A30, to the north of Phoenix Green at West Green Road. A few minor drains feed into this. Small ponds are found in a number of

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

"Following the excitement of seeing our first Purple Emperor inside our office yesterday, exactly the same thing happened again today at around 9.45am. The office door was open and we spotted a butterfly on the inside of the window, on closer inspection we realised it was a Purple Emperor. It was much smaller than the one we had seen the day before and more battered. However we were able to take pictures of it, in fact the butterfly actually climbed onto one of the cameras and remained there for a while. It then climbed from camera to hand, and we took it outside for more pictures before it eventually flew off. It seemed to be feeding off the hand.". Purple Empeor Purple Empeor Terry Hotten writes: "A brief walk around Hazeley Heath this morning produced a fresh Small Tortoiseshell along with Marbled Whites, Silver- studded Blues in reasonable numbers along with Meadow Browns, Ringlets and Large and Small Skippers." peter gardner reports from highcross froxfield (SU712266) where the following observations were made: Red Admiral (1 "purched on an hot window ").

    Biodiversity Action Plan for Hart 2018 – 2023 Contents Introduction………………………………………,,,,,,………………… 3 Purpose of this Action plan………………………………..…………… 4 Biodiversity Achievements 2012-17……………………….….…...…… 5 What is biodiversity and why is it important? …………..…………….. 7 Overview of the biodiversity resource in Hart …………..…...………. 9 Designated sites in Hart…………………………...……..…………… 11 Nature conservation sites managed by HDC………….………..….… 17 Action Plan 2018-23………………………………….…………….…. 19 2 1. Introduction 1.1 The natural environment in Hart has experienced large changes over the past century, in common with most of south eastern England. However, there remains an extremely diverse natural environment in the district, rich in different habitats and species. Hart is characterised by a mosaic of farmland, ancient woodlands, lowland heathlands and water courses. There is also a varied built environment from newer towns such as Fleet and Yateley to rural towns and villages such as Odiham and Hartley Wintney which all contain features which contribute to overall biodiversity resource. 1.2 The publication of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act in 2006 makes biodiversity an important consideration for all local authorities. Section 40 of this act sets out the duty to conserve biodiversity: “Every public authority must, in exercising its functions, have regard, so far as is consistent with the proper exercise of those functions, to the purpose of conserving biodiversity”. 1.3 The adoption of the first Hart Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) in 2012 helped translate national and regional targets into local action, whilst also highlighting species and areas of local importance. The first Hart BAP was implemented by the Council’s Biodiversity Officer in partnership with other groups such as the Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre (HBIC), Hart Countryside Services, Parish Councils, friends of groups and other council departments.

    272 HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB INSECTS IN HAMPSHIRE, 1933 By F. H. HAINES HE summer of 1933, remarkable for drought and the amount of long-continued sunshine and heat, reacted on insects, T especially Lepidoptera, on the whole favourably. Times of appearance were very early, migrants numerous, and species normally single or double-brooded often produced an extra brood. But many, such as dragonflies, were soon over. February was wet, April dry, but June had one very heavy storm here (1.59ms. in 24 hours). The absence of rain was particularly noticeable later in-the year : in August, November and December. Orthoptera (Earwigs, Cockroaches, Crickets and Grass­ hoppers). The species of Ectobia were abundant and early, as was Nemobius sylvestris F., and grasshoppers : Pholidoptera griseoaptera De G. in the New Forest in August, Metrioptera albopunctata Gz. near Ringwood, M. brachyptera L., Conocephalus dorsalis 'Latr., Meconema thalassinum De G. and Leptophyes punctatissima Bosc. in the Forest. Tetrix subulatus L. was common, and hibernated T. bipunctatus L. was met with here very early. Goytphocerus maculatus Thunb. was everywhere in the wild, dry places around through summer and autumn, its colour, as usual, varying endlessly with that of its surroundings. The large Mecostethus grossus L., not uncommon in the forest bogs, and usually on Linwood Bog, was strangely, conditions being so favourable, not found here this year. Omocestus rufipes Zett. was not nearly so common on the heath as was O. viridulus L. on the grass. It was still abundant, basking in the sun on the woodwork of the house here, and else­ where, late in October.

  • (Other Than Moths) Attracted to Light
    Insects (other than moths) attracted to light Prepared by Martin Harvey for BENHS workshop on 9 December 2017 Although light-traps go hand-in-hand with catching and recording moths, a surprisingly wide range of other insects can be attracted to light and appear in light-traps on a regular or occasional basis. The lists below show insects recorded from light-traps of various kinds, mostly from southern central England but with some additions from elsewhere in Britain, and based on my records from the early 1990s to date. Nearly all are my own records, plus a few of species that I have identified for other moth recorders. The dataset includes 2,446 records of 615 species. (See the final page of this document for a comparison with another list from Andy Musgrove.) This isn’t a rigorous survey: it represents those species that I have identified and recorded in a fairly ad hoc way over the years. I record insects in light-traps fairly regularly, but there are of course biases based on my taxonomic interests and abilities. Some groups that come to light regularly are not well-represented on this list, e.g. chironomid midges are missing despite their frequent abundance in light traps, Dung beetle Aphodius rufipes there are few parasitic wasps, and some other groups such as muscid © Udo Schmidt flies and water bugs are also under-represented. It’s possible there are errors in this list, e.g. where light-trapping has been erroneously recorded as a method for species found by day. I’ve removed the errors that I’ve found, but I might not yet have found all of them.
