By Clive, 23-May-10 07:12 AM GMT Hi Shirley & I
Clive by Clive, 23-May-10 07:12 AM GMT Hi Shirley & I had a wonder around Magdalen Hill Down today, never seen so many Green Hairstreaks! We had a very enjoyable couple of hours watching them, they're just so interesting leaping into action every time an insect passed by and returning to their perch. Then down to hillside to see the Common Blue & Brown Argus, loads about, but by now very active and only settling for a breif moment. Also Orange-tip, Brimstone and white ones, again very active ... Good to have bumped into Pete, Roger & Ian ... Re: Clive by Jack Harrison, 24-May-10 01:47 AM GMT I briefly visited Magdalen Hill Down Winchester last Monday but obviously didn’t find the hot spots and saw only one Green Hairstreak. I stayed in/near the top path. For future reference, where should I have gone? I like your pics and am surprised how fresh the butterflies still are. Jack Re: Clive by Clive, 24-May-10 02:27 AM GMT Hi Jack From the car park up the main path to the reserve, turn right along the small path between the hedge & fence ... but I have been along there many times before and not seen any ... Clive Re: Clive by Jack Harrison, 24-May-10 02:29 AM GMT That's exactly where I was. Maybe in view of the pristine condition of your specimens, I was too early in this rather mixed up season. Jack Re: Clive by Clive, 24-May-10 05:47 AM GMT Out again today for a walk around Stockbridge Down .. -

The bank covered pottery cable trench (1988) showed it in section at NGR from the Bronze Age and was used as a source of SU 2456 3761, a point which indicates a link with material by 18th-century gun flint knappers.

Historic Environment Action Plan West Wight Chalk Downland
Directorate of Community Services Director Sarah Mitchell Historic Environment Action Plan West Wight Chalk Downland Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service October 2008 01983 823810 archaeology @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for West Wight Chalk Downland. INTRODUCTION The West Wight Chalk Downland HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography and historic landscape character. It forms the western half of a central chalk ridge that crosses the Isle of Wight, the eastern half having been defined as the East Wight Chalk Ridge . Another block of Chalk and Upper Greensand in the south of the Isle of Wight has been defined as the South Wight Downland . Obviously there are many similarities between these three HEAP Areas. However, each of the Areas occupies a particular geographical location and has a distinctive historic landscape character. This document identifies essential characteristics of the West Wight Chalk Downland . These include the large extent of unimproved chalk grassland, great time-depth, many archaeological features and historic settlement in the Bowcombe Valley. The Area is valued for its open access, its landscape and wide views and as a tranquil recreational area. Most of the land at the western end of this Area, from the Needles to Mottistone Down, is open access land belonging to the National Trust. Significant historic landscape features within this Area are identified within this document. The condition of these features and forces for change in the landscape are considered. Management issues are discussed and actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions. -

The Biodiversity of Abandoned Farmland Tom Fayle Gonville and Caius College April 2005 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy Mating Six-spot Burnet moths (Zygaena filipendulae) on the Roughs Declaration This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. This dissertation does not exceed the limit of 15000 words in the main text, excluding figures, tables, legends and appendices. i Acknowledgements This work was carried out on the land of Miriam Rothschild, who sadly passed away before its completion. I would like to thank her for allowing me to stay at Ashton Wold during my fieldwork and making me feel welcome there. I would also like to thank the Eranda Foundation for funding this work. Various people have helped with the identification of my material and I am very grateful to them for their time. Brian Eversham was of great help in identifying my carabids and also took time out from his busy schedule to assist me for a day during my time in the field. Ray Symonds dedicated a great deal of time to identifying all the spiders I caught, a feat which would have undoubtedly taken me many weeks! Richard Preece identified all my gastropods, and I am grateful both to him and his student George Speller for passing on the material to him. Roger Morris verified the identification of voucher specimens of all the syrphids I caught, and Oliver Prŷs-Jones did the same for my bumblebees. -
The Ecological Factors Governing the Persistence of Butterflies in Urban Areas
THE ECOLOGICAL FACTORS GOVERNING THE PERSISTENCE OF BUTTERFLIES IN URBAN AREAS by ALISON LORAM A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Biosciences The University of Birmingham September 2004 ABSTRACT Previous studies have suggested that availability of high quality habitat rather than habitat connectivity or species mobility was the limiting factor in the distribution of grassland butterflies, but were mostly undertaken on specialist species in rural areas. Consequently, this project tests the hypothesis that the quality of available habitat is more important than patch size or connectivity to the persistence of four grassland butterfly species in the West Midlands conurbation. Two of the study species are widespread (Polyommatus icarus and Coenonympha pamphilus) whilst two have a more restricted distribution (Erynnis tages and Callophrys rubi). However, unlike species with very specific requirements, all are polyphagous and can tolerate a wide range of conditions, making habitat quality difficult to quantify. Several means of assessing habitat quality were developed and tested. A detailed vegetation quadrat sampling method had the best predictive abilities for patch occupancy and summarised the habitat preferences within the urban context. A model based upon habitat quality and connectivity was devised, with the ability to rank each patch according to potential suitability for each species. For all four species, habitat quality accounted significantly for the greatest variance in distribution. Connectivity had only a small significant effect whilst patch area had almost none. This suggests that conservation efforts should be centred upon preserving and improving habitat quality. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council URGENT Program. -

Life 3 studies in the Blackwater and Highland Water sub-catchments found that glides tend be to the most common form of flow followed by riffles and runs. Pools (still water) are noticeably rare in modified reaches being replaced by glides or runs. Pools where they occur are usually found at meander bends apices. Cascades and small water falls also occur at the faces of debris dams. Channelisation tends to affect the flow type in that it reduces the number of pools. Dominant flow types for the Highland Water and Black Water are shown in Figure 10. It is probable that a similar pattern would be found in the other river catchments. 3.4.6 Bank & bed material Bank material is made up of clay, fines, sand and gravel. -
