Readers hints, tips and requests ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** Finding the Bulletins *** LNU Wildnews Bulletins are available on: http://rogerparsons.info/bulletinportal.html Note: Each address contains the relevant date for that particular Bulletin. e.g. bulletin2009jul26.txt A reader has reported problems reading the Bulletin via an anonymous server which had trouble with text. If you encounter any such difficulty please get back to me, as we now know a bit more about it and may be able to help. I am also teating Word at Andrew Chicks suggestion, as it will allow the links to work. Roger *** Glorious 12th Perseids *** Heads up, folks! The Perseid meteor shower peaks on 12th August. With clear skies, but you could see meteors now and through to around August 20th. There is a bit of a moon at the peak, but you should still spot the good ones. Let me know what you see. *** LNU August Field Meeting *** Sunday, August 23, 2009 River Glen 12 for 1pm start. Park at TF144 176. This is the Car Park used for Baston Fen NR and is located on the minor road between Baston and Tongue End. Cross over concrete bridge and park along track to left. Do not park on track straight on from bridge. Habitats: River, drains and marsh. Leader Richard Chadd richard.chadd@environment-agency.gov.uk & Ian Cappitt ian.heidi@virgin.net *** Hedgehogs at Hubbards Hills *** I would be interested in any records or reports of hedgehogs at Hubbards Hills. I am trailing a standardised survey method for the Mammal Society, it involves 10 x listening watching, sessions 100 metres apart carried out after dark, to date I havent found any hedgehogs. This may be because the vegetation is unsuitable for spotting them or perhaps they are absent, although we have a number of records in the area. Any reports/records to chris_j_manning@hotmail.com thanks. *** RSPB LINCOLN LOCAL GROUP EVENTS – AUGUST *** COACH OUTING TOUR OF LINCS COAST RESERVES visiting Rimac, Donna Nook and Horseshoe Point for migrants, waders, etc. Sunday 9 August Depart Jackson Building Centre, Canwick Road, Lincoln, LN5 8HG, 8.30am.

Wildlife news from around the county ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** The Roger Goy Column *** Remembering Roger Goy's wildlife information work. *** Swallows and other observations *** CHAMBERS FARM WOOD Malcolm Johnson. As reported some while ago, my Swallows have again brought off two families, one of two and the last one of four which are just about at fledging. The first two helped again with the feeding of this second brood. Any Comments? We have 6 or 7 Swifts over the House several times a day, they are obviously nesting in our area, but not sure where. Visited Clumber Park last weekend and a Great Crested Grebe is sitting on a nest about five feet away from the edge of the Lake. This is close to a footpath and she must be passed by hundreds of people each day. The Grebe is completely oblivious to people watching, pointing and taking photos of her. Amazing. Also saw another Grebe carrying her youngster on her back, have never seen that before in Grebes though I know Swans also do this. *** County Wildlife Reports From Readers *** Please keep your reports coming, We rely on you to send in your observations and We welcome information from all readers, be they beginners or professionals.

Although widespread in Europe, Bombus hypnorum, which has coined the name Tree Bumblebee because of its habit of nesting in tree cavities or bird nestboxes, was first found on the south coast of England in 2001. Since then it has gradually spread north as far as Northumberland (see map below). In Lincolnshire at present we have just one record for the species from Gosberton Clough near Spalding 2008. With records coming in from Yorkshire I'm sure its going unnoticed in this county so please keep an eye out especially in the south and west. So, have you seen one? Or possibly have a photo? If so, visit http://www.bwars.com/bombus_hypnorum_map.htm for further info on this bumblebee, how to recognise it, and details on how to report your sightings. Further photos here: http://www.bwars.com/bombus_hypnorum.htm *** OTTERS *** Readers are reminded that all dead Otters should be reported to the Environment Agency on 0800 807060.

This might include the restoration of old quarries; constructing new all purpose paths; or simply providing access to new areas of woodland, lakes and open land for countryside focussed activities.

Notes about these wildlife reports ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We do our best to ensure accuracy in our reporting but these records are sent in by a variety of reporters, from complete beginners to professionals. They therefore vary in reliability and in certain cases they are impossible to verify. If further information is needed on locations or reporters, or if you wish to question/confirm any of these records, contact: rparsons@enterprise.net Bulletins are sent to Biological Recorders at the Lincs. Wildlife Trust, Lincolnshire Naturalists' Union and Lincolnshire Bird Club. [Note: Where plants are reported, this is usually because they have been seen "in flower".] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 10. The Bulletin's publicity policy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We will not be giving precise details of the location of rare or endangered species. Please point out any sensitive or "tricky" reports of this kind. We ask that you respect the interests of wildlife and site owners if you report to national networks. Make a point of explaining site sensitivity and any restrictions on access. An interest in wildlife is not a licence to act irresponsibly/thoughtlessly to landowners, who may well be partners in important conservation work. [Remember - views expressed in the Bulletin do not necessarily reflect the policies or opinions on the LNU or associated organisations. In particular this applies to such agencies, especially charities, taking a political stance.] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 11.
