BROOK
MEADOW CONSERVATION GROUP - WEEKS 45-46: Nov 3 - 16,
2008
CONSERVATION
NEWS - by Frances Jannaway
Work session Sunday 16
November - report by Pat Walsgrove
The day started with the
weather on a dreary note, but brightened up as the
morning progressed and the sun made an appearance towards
the end of the work session. Ten keen volunteers turned
out to help (Pat, Graham, Pam, Dave, Barbara, Mike,
David, Jenny, Patrick and a warm welcome to a new face
John Green)
Apart from the trimming
of the Hawthorn hedge by Mike, all the work was carried
out on the Seagull Lane Patch, with our resident wildlife
photographer Brian taking snaps for the website.
The brambles and grass
were cut back using shears and the power scythe, to
permit access, with 'islands' of Burdock and Mugwort and
the cuttings left in a sacrificial pile.
All in all a good
morning's activity and thanks to all the volunteers for
there sterling efforts and cheerfulness, and to Pam for
providing tea, coffee and a nice choice of
biscuits.
Tasks for next work
sessions - Cutting, raking and removing arisings from
part of sedgey area in Central Meadow; Cutting back
Bramble and other vegetation south of Alder Buckthorns in
South Meadow; Clearing dead ivy from entrance at Seagull
Lane and replanting with native hedgerow plants; Cutting
and removing a large branch of a Crack Willow which has
fallen over in the North Meadow.
Forthcoming work
sessions: Thursday 4 and Sunday 21 December (with mulled
wine and mince pies).
Please note the first
work session in 2009 will be on Thursday 8
January.
Membership
renewals
After sending out final
renewal notices to all lapsed members at the beginning of
November, membership now stands at 314. Many thanks to
all of you who have renewed. Your support is very
important to us. If you have not renewed yet, please send
your subscriptions to Wally Osborne before the end of
November and you will continue to receive these
fortnightly notes.
Annual Riverbank Cut by
Environment Agency (EA)
Ross and his gang
completed the EA's annual maintenance work to the River
Ems in Brook Meadow on 12 November. They cut a wide
channel and removed Watercress from near the gasholder
and also very lightly faced up the Bramble on the western
riverbank in this area. All the arisings were removed to
the sacrificial area on the eastern side of the
meadow.
Tree felling work on
Seagull Lane patch
Andrew Skeet (arborist at
HBC) has authorised some tree felling work on the Seagull
Lane patch next to Artec Engineering. Apparently, they
have been broken into several times and want to put up a
10ft security fence along the southern edge of the wall
between them and Brook Meadow (behind the interpretation
board). The willows closest to the wall will therefore
get in the way of the fence. The work will be done on
Monday or Tuesday of the coming week. A number of willows
closest to the wall will in effect be coppiced and some
of the ivy removed from their side of the wall.
I have requested that no
ivy is removed from the Brook Meadow side of the wall,
and that no more willows should be cut than absolutely
necessary and any chippings from the brushwood should be
left in a pile for us to use on the paths.
This area is in need of
some attention with a large amount of dead ivy, a broken
bottom fence rail and a pile of grass cuttings dumped on
the dead ivy. I have reported the broken fence rail to
Rob Hill of HBC and hope that it will be repaired soon.
Once the fence has been repaired, we will remove the dead
ivy which we think was killed off with a herbicide by BT
some time ago. It is proposed to replant the area with
native hedgerow plants, such as Hawthorn.

Brent breeding
failure
There must be several
thousand Brent Geese in Chichester Harbour by now, of
which about 300 can usually be found in Emsworth Harbour
- usually to the west of the town at low water. However,
there are very few juveniles to seen, which clearly
confirms an almost total breeding failure. I have only
seen one family of 3 youngsters in Emsworth Harbour and
even at Farlington Marshes I could only find 4 families
(of 4,3,2 and 1) among nearly 1,000 on Friday Nov 15,
giving a breeding productivity ratio so far of only
0.91%. This is a little worrying as it follows two lean
years in 2006-07 and 2007-08, though 2005-06 was a bumper
year with 25% of juveniles. It will be interesting to
hear just what happened in Siberia this summer. Were the
nests predated by Arctic Foxes or was poor weather to
blame?
Spotted Redshank
returns
Chris Berners-Price was
the first to report the return of the famed Spotted
Redshank for the fourth winter running to the small
stream at Nore Barn to the west of Emsworth on Nov 9. It
is best seen about 2 hours either side of high water,
when it often feeds with Little Egret and Greenshank.
The Spotted Redshank is well known to local birdwatchers
and highly rated by wildlife photographers, like Richard
Ford, whom I met at Nore Barn on Saturday afternoon, busy
taking photos of the bird. You will never get a better
view of a Spotted Redshank. Although the bird appears to
be very tolerant of people walking by, could I make a
plea to dog owners to keep their pets out of the stream
when birds are feeding there. See my web site for photos
of this astonishing bird.
Wandering
Godwits
Black-tailed Godwits are
well-known for flighty behaviour, some moving between
harbours on the south coast, while a few even fly to
France and back. All this is known through reported
sightings of colour-ringed birds. Godwit RYL+RLY (three
rings on each leg) is a bird which thinks nothing of
flying from Emsworth to Kent and back. In fact, it has
been back and forth twice already this winter. I last
saw it here on Nov 7 and it would not surprise me if it
was not back in Kent by now. Godwit ON+RL prefers to go
the other way, commuting between here and the Exe Estuary
in Devon, often spending September and October with us
before moving to Devon, then returning here in March and
April.
Garden birds
return
At long last, birds are
returning to my garden after a very barren couple of
months. In the past 2 weeks Blue Tit, Coal Tit, Great
Tit, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Robin, Dunnock, House
Sparrow, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Collared Dove,
Woodpigeon, Magpie and Little Egret have all been in the
garden. But the real star was a male Blackcap, the first
I have seen in the garden since 2003. Blackcaps migrate
here from the Continent for the winter and frequently
visit gardens, where they are particularly partial to
fruit and home made sponge cake! I am still concerned
about Greenfinch which remain very scarce on the feeders
(though this does save me some money!). Robin Pottinger
tells me that birds have also been scarce in his
Southbourne garden over the past few months.
Other bird
news
Sandwich Terns are summer
visitors to this country, but a few do spend the winter
on the south coast. Richard Ford saw three of them as
he was watching the Spotted Redshank at Nore Barn on Nov
15, while Barry Collins saw 7 in Emsworth Harbour today
(Nov 16).
There is a resident
population of over 100 Canada Geese on Thorney Island and
a good proportion of them regularly fly into Emsworth for
a change of scenery; 78 came into the east harbour on Nov
11.
Tufted Duck are regular
winter visitors to Emsworth Millpond; 6 females and 3
males were there on Nov 15 and numbers should build up as
winter kicks in.
There is not much bird
song at present apart from Robin and Wren, though Ralph
Hollins heard a Song Thrush belting out its full song at
dawn on Nov 13 near his home in Havant.
Over at Farlington
Marshes 22 Avocets were on the lake on Friday Nov 14. I
wonder if we shall get some at Nutbourne this year?
Fungi
Fly Algaric fungi are
still showing well on the grass verge outside house
number 15 of Beacon Square. There is a group of fungi
with dark brown centres by the Seagull Lane gate on Brook
Meadow that Ralph Hollins thinks must be a Lepiota
species. As for the huge fungi on the path to the north
of Nore Barn Woods, Ralph agrees that their sheer size
suggests Leucopaxillus giganteus (Giant Funnel), though
the big problem with that ID is the absence of a 'funnel'
in the cap.
Wild flowers
Despite it being winter,
wild flowers still abound. Ralph Hollins's November list
is already up to 130. Locally, Winter Heliotrope is
newly flowering in the SW corner of Peter Pond and
outside the Doctors' Surgery in Emsworth. The
Strawberry Tree on Slipper Millpond is currently a mass
of white blossom with orange fruits also developing.
Why no
rabbits?
Caroline French raised
the question of why there are no rabbits on Brook Meadow.
I have never seen one, but I have no idea why.
Possibly because it is too wet. Does anyone have an
answer?

BROOK
MEADOW CONSERVATION GROUP - WEEKS 43-44: Oct 20 - Nov 2,
2008
CONSERVATION
NEWS - by Frances Jannaway
Extra work session
An extra work session was
held to prepare the ground and sow the Yellow Rattle
seeds harvested in July. The reason for our haste is that
Yellow Rattle seeds lose their viability very rapidly. A
group of 7 volunteers (Wally, Frances, Pam, Pat, Graham,
Dave and Mike) met in the afternoon of Thursday 30
October. The technique which worked very successfully
last year was used again. This involved using the
strimmer to cut 1-metre circles distributed along the
eastern side of the North Meadow just north of the
wildflower area. Wally had soon strimmed about 30 circles
which he cut very low to expose the soil. After this, the
rest of us 'worried' the soil with our boots or with a
fork to further expose bare soil which enables the Yellow
Rattle to germinate. Once all the circles had been
'worried', the Yellow Rattle seed was sown mixed with dry
sand to aid even distribution of the seed.
Tasks for the next work
sessions - Cutting, raking and removing arisings from
rest of Wildflower area in the North Meadow; Pruning or
laying the Hawthorn hedge near the central line of
willows in the North Meadow; Cutting, raking and removing
arisings on the Seagull Lane patch.
Forthcoming work
sessions: Thursday 6 and Sunday 16 November.
Membership
renewals
Membership for the
current year now stands at 271 and the number of lapsed
members has been reduced to 87. Many thanks to all of you
who have renewed. Final reminder notices together with
the October newsletter are being sent out to all lapsed
members. If you have not yet managed to renew, please
fill in the form and send it together with your
subscription to Wally Osborne. Your continued support is
very important to us especially now that Brook Meadow has
been designated a Local Nature Reserve. If Wally does not
receive your subscription before the end of November, you
will be removed from our current membership and you will
no longer be sent these fortnightly notes.
Management Plan Review
and Annual Cut
A subgroup of the
committee are in the process of reviewing the Management
Plan. For example, to decide whether and where Yellow
Rattle should be sown again this year, and on the cutting
programme for the marginal areas especially in the North
Meadow. These areas were not cut in July because this
would have destroyed the habitat of nesting birds and
other animals such as mice, voles, frogs and the many
invertebrates. It has been decided not to get our usual
contractor, Martin Cull, back again for a second cut this
year because his machinery is not considered suitable to
deal with the marginal areas in the way set down in the
Management Plan and we are considering hiring smaller
machinery which will do less harm to wildlife. We have
also decided to alter our power scythe cutting technique
so that islands of uncut vegetation are left to provide
refuges for small mammals, amphibians and
invertebrates.
Annual Riverbank Cut by
Environment Agency (EA)
A site meeting was held
on Thursday 23 October between Frances, Jennifer and Mike
of BMCG and Julian, Matt and Ross of the EA to discuss
work still to be completed and to agree in principle the
cutting programme for future years. The joint aim is to
reduce flood risk and to enhance the habitat of Water
Voles - a Biodiversity Action Plan species. Ross and his
gang will be returning to Brook Meadow, hopefully in the
coming week, to remove more Watercress by creating a
meandering channel as well as lightly face up Bramble
overhanging the river, especially near the
gasholder.
Bat survey
Pat and Graham Walsgrove
have carried out bat surveys along the River Ems and
Lumley Stream each month between April and October this
year (apart from September). I joined Pat and Graham for
their October survey on Thursday 30 October. Equipped
with bat detector boxes, we met in Palmers Road car park
at 5pm, just as it was getting dark. It was quite a cold
evening with only a little cloud so we were not expecting
to hear many bats. We followed the usual route across the
south bridge through the south meadow and along the
riverbank path to the north bridge. There was no sign of
any bats at all. Our route went out of Brook Meadow and
along the Seagull Lane footpath to Lumley sluice behind
Constant Spring. While standing on the small footbridge,
we were rewarded for our patience by the recognisable
sound of a Common Pipistrelle flying along the
watercourses round Lumley Mill. The bat was following a
circular route, returning every 2 or 3 minutes. We
returned to Peter Pond down Lumley Road without hearing
another bat. A very enjoyable hour.

WILDLIFE NEWS - by Brian Fellows
Brent Geese
arrive!
The Brents have arrived
at long last! Observers along the south coast recorded
thousands moving west or the winter. I saw a big flock of
1,400 on the east side of Hayling Island on Oct 23, but
we had to wait another week for any to turn up in
Emsworth (a good 2 weeks later than usual). Lesley Harris
was the first to see about 100 Brent Geese from her
sitting room window overlooking the harbour (lucky lady)
on the morning of Oct 31. I caught up with them later in
the day when most of them had moved to the harbour west
of Emsworth. However, I could only find one juvenile,
which strongly suggests that reports of a breeding
failure in Siberia this year could be correct.
Other harbour news
Migrant ducks are also
arriving in force. There are already hundreds of Wigeon
and Teal and a few Pintail in Nutbourne Bay, while here
in Emsworth, 55 Wigeon were off Nore Barn this morning,
but more should arrive as winter kicks in. Shelduck are
also returning after their moult migration.
As for the waders, there
is certainly no shortage of Redshank in the local
harbours and Dunlin are also here in good numbers, but
Black-tailed Godwits remain rather scarce outside of
Fishbourne and Farlington. But saying that, Ralph Hollins
found 40 at Hayling Oysterbeds on Oct 29, the first he
had seen there since the spring. Greenshank (many with
colour-rings on their legs) are well represented in
Emsworth Harbour, but we are still waiting for our
regular Spotted Redshank to turn up at Nore Barn. If you
see it please let me know.
Meanwhile, 2 Spotted
Redshanks, a Ruff and a wintering Whimbrel were at
Fishbourne along with a one-legged Redshank, though it
seems to be managing OK. Bar-tailed Godwits are starting
to collect at Langstone, where I saw 82 on Oct 21, though
there should be several hundred later into winter.
Strangely, I have never seen a Bar-tailed Godwit in
Emsworth.
Robin
Migration
Emsworth hit the
ornithological headlines this week when Mark Grantham of
the British Trust for Ornithology reported a Robin,
ringed in Lithuania, had been discovered freshly dead in
an Emsworth garden. Lithuania is some 1,000 miles from
Emsworth in the Baltic Sea and this was some journey, but
until we know when the bird was ringed, we cannot be sure
if it had flown here this year. I just hope it was not
caught by a cat. (If it was you that found found the
Robin please let me know)
It is, in fact, well
known that Robins, and other small birds, do migrate long
distances in winter from the Continent to Britain and
other western countries to escape the cold weather. Mark
said this was only the third Lithuanian-ringed Robin ever
to be found in Britain and was probably ringed at the big
migration site at Ventes Ragas.
Garden birds
At long last, things are
starting to pick up in my garden after several barren
months. Over the past weekend I have seen 12 bird
species, probably including migrants from Europe. I was
pleased to see 8 Greenfinches which have been absent for
weeks. BTO surveys confirm the decline in Greenfinch over
the past 2 years probably due the disease trichomoniasis.
A more regular visitor has been a Little Egret which
perches on the back fence for about 10 minutes at a time
around lunch time to check out the Westbrook Stream which
runs behind my garden. You can sometimes see it in the
stream behind Bridge Road car park. To think I once went
all the way to Spain, to see one of these!
Fungi
The area of Stansted
Forest near Rowlands Castle, called The Sling, is always
a good place for fungi. I had a look around on Oct 31 and
found several fresh specimens, of which Magpie Inkcap,
Beech Barkspot and Leafy Brain, plus several others which
I could not identify. Another reliable place to look for
fungi is Beacon Square in Emsworth where Fly Algaric are
currently emerging on the grass verge outside house
number 15, as they have done for the past few years.
Wild flowers
I was very surprised to
find a plant of Goat's Beard flowering on Brook Meadow
last week, along with Black Horehound. Spear-leaved
Orache was also in flower near Peter Pond. Grasses are
flourishing on Brook Meadow with lots of False Oat-grass
and smaller amounts of Cocksfoot, Wall Barley, Annual
Meadow-grass and Tall Fescue also showing fresh
spikelets. Ralph Hollins flowering plant list for October
reached 211, though I think this was down on last year.

CONSERVATION
NEWS - by Frances Jannaway
Work session Sunday 19
October - report by Wally Osborne
A lovely sunny morning
greeted the 10 volunteers (Frances, Wally, Pam, Dave,
Barbara, Pat, Graham, Penny, Jenny, and Debi). The main
task of the morning was to cut with the power scythe,
rake and remove the arisings from the wildflower area in
the southern part of the North Meadow. Graham and Dave
took turns on the power scythe while the rest of us raked
and removed the arisings to the sacrificial area. Other
tasks completed included cutting branches of Willow
overhanging the path through the South Meadow and from a
Willow tree in the North Meadow. Thanks to everyone for a
good morning's work and to Pat for providing the much
needed refreshments.
During the work session,
Pam pointed out a strange circle about 1 metre across in
the North Meadow just north of the wildflower area which
looked as if it had been strimmed or cut very short.
There was no evidence of any digging by either humans or
animals. Can anybody help us solve this mystery?
Tasks for the next work
sessions Cutting, raking and removing arisings from rest
of Wildflower area in the North Meadow, preparing the
ground and sowing patches of Yellow Rattle extending into
the area to the north, pruning the Hawthorn hedge near
the central line of willows in the North Meadow.
Forthcoming work
sessions: Thursday 6 and Sunday 16 November.
Wildlife Observations -
by Brian Fellows
During the clearance of
vegetation on the work session, a number of small animals
were disturbed and at least one killed by the power
scythe. The casualty was probably a Field Vole from its
very short tail, rounded snout and small ears. Three
nests were also revealed, probably of Field Voles. Sadly,
one of the nests contained 5 or 6 baby animals. We also
saw a live Field Vole and a Common Shrew (with a very
dark coat), both scuttling away. Also disturbed (but not
killed) were a Common Frog and a Common Toad, the frog
moving with springy leaps and the toad crawling away.

Annual General Meeting -
8 October 2008
This year's AGM was once
again a resounding success attracting 38 people including
2 new members. After the chairman and treasurer had given
their reports, all of last year's committee were
re-elected but with the welcome addition of Mike Probert
who has agreed to join the committee. The business of the
AGM was followed by a most welcome refreshment break
thanks to Rosemary, Jil, Penny and Barbara. After this,
Judi Darley of Chichester Harbour Conservancy gave an
enthralling talk about the 'Wildlife and Plants of
Chichester Harbour'. All in all a very interesting and
enjoyable evening. If you were unable to attend the AGM,
the reports of both Chairman and Treasurer will be put on
the group's website as soon as possible.
Membership
renewals
Current membership for
September 2008 to August 2009 stands at 228 (including 23
new members) and the number of lapsed members is 118. If
you have not yet renewed, please send your subscription
to Wally Osborne. And contact Wally if you are unsure
whether you have renewed or not. Your membership is very
important to us especially now that Brook Meadow has been
designated a Local Nature Reserve.
Main path
strimming
Les Foster of HBC
strimmed the edges of the main paths through Brook Meadow
last week. In addition, the edges of the path going from
the Seagull Lane entrance up as far as the A27 underpass
have been cut back. I am unsure who has done this work
since the native hedge the group planted next to the
kissing gate a couple of years ago has also been cut back
on the Seagull Lane side. It looks as if a flail machine
has been used rather than a strimmer.
Annual Riverbank Cut by
Environment Agency (EA)
As mentioned in my last
email notes, this year's riverbank and in-stream
vegetation cut was carried out by the Hampshire division
of the EA at the beginning of October. However, it has
proved necessary to have more in-stream vegetation
removed as well as more vegetation removed from the
riverbanks. A site meeting has been arranged for Thursday
23 October. Several members of the BMCG committee will be
meeting Julian, Ross, and Steve of the EA to discuss the
work still to be completed.
LOCAL
WILDLIFE NEWS - by Brian Fellows
Harbour news
A reported failure in the
breeding of Brent Geese in Siberia should have meant
their early return, but they still have not arrived in
any numbers. Personally, I have not seen any in
Chichester Harbour as yet and there are only about 600 in
Langstone Harbour, which is less than expected. Let's
hope that breeding report is wrong and we get some
families to enjoy. We shall see.
Although Black-tailed
Godwits have largely deserted Emsworth this year there
are hundreds of them on Farlington Marshes and in the
Fishbourne Channel (best seen from the Apuldram side). I
have been busy logging those with colour rings on their
legs and have found some ringed in Iceland, Kent and The
Wash as well as local ones. All have been to Iceland and
back for the summer.
There are still plenty of
Greenshank in Emsworth Harbour, many of them
colour-ringed. There is one that regularly feeds in the
low water channel beneath the quay at the bottom of South
Street. They are all part of the Greenshank Migration
Project run by the Chichester Harbour Conservancy - see
the web site for all the details at
http://www.greenshank.info/
Other bird
news
Kingfishers move down to
the coast at this time of the year where they can often
be seen flying low across the millponds or up the
streams. I have seen them in the past week around the
reeds on the north of Peter Pond. If you are lucky enough
to see one perched, males have all black bill and females
have a red lower mandible. Juveniles are less bright with
dark feet and bill.
Most birds will have now
finished their breeding, but this does not apply to
Pigeons and Doves which seem to carry on throughout the
year. Mike Probert told me about a Woodpigeon he saw
feeding a young squab in a nest in a Hawthorn bush near
Brook Meadow. I was at Chichester Gravel Pits on Saturday
where the lakes are filling up, with Coot (hundreds),
Pochard, Tufted Duck and Gadwall.
Spiders galore
Autumn is the big time
for spiders. Garden Spiders are everywhere, sitting
patiently in the centre of their perfectly woven orb
webs, waiting for the next meal to arrive. Another common
colourful spider is the Four-spot Orb Weaver (Araneus
quadratus), the female of which has 4 white spots on the
back of her large round abdomen. Big but harmless! There
are some alien spiders, such as, the False Black Widow
spider, which are poisonous, but fortunately they are not
common. The Natural History Museum web site has more
information (the truth!) about them . . .
http://www.nhm.ac.uk/
Insects
Although my garden is
still devoid of birds, there have been plenty insects
over the past few weeks, including Red Admiral, Comma,
Peacock and bees, all attracted to the highly aromatic
flowers of Ivy. Ivy is such a valuable nectar source a
this time of the year, so please do not cut it down.
Whites are more attracted to Verbena. Speckled Wood can
be seen basking in shafts of sunlight in Palmer's Road
Copse. Of the dragonflies, Common Darters are around
waterways; I saw three pairs in tandem on Peter Pond,
with the back ones (females) constantly dipping their
ovipositors onto the water.
Fungi
October is traditionally
a good month for fungi, but Ralph Hollins was
disappointed to find only a dozen or so during a walk in
Hollybank Woods on Oct 17. However, he did manage to see
a few more on the Fungus Foray in Hollybank Woods this
morning, led by Rosi Webb. See Ralph's web site for
details. One called White Fibrecap (Inocybe geophylla),
was new to him. On a more modest level, on Oct 17 my wife
and I found a splendid tuft of Shaggy Pholiota (Pholiota
squarrosa), now called Shaggy Scalycap, growing on the
base of a live Crack Willow tree near the entrance to the
Cobnor amenity car park at Chidham. On the previous day I
found a good growth of Common Puffball in Stansted
Forest.
Plants
It is always surprising
how many wild flowers one can find at this time of the
year if you take the time to look for them. Ralph Hollins
regularly lists flowering plants from October to March
and already his October list is approaching 200. I had to
call on Ralph's help with an unusual Woundwort I found in
Stansted Forest on Oct 16. It looked like Hedge Woundwort
with bright flowers, but was very soft and downy and did
not have the typically harsh smell of that plant. Ralph
thought it might be the hybrid between Hedge Woundwort
and Marsh Woundwort, called Stachys x ambigua. While in
Stansted I could not resist collecting a few chestnuts;
there are plenty there, but it is not a bumper crop.
