Readers hints, tips and requests ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** Mailfails *** Please pass on this message if you hear anyone complaining that the Bulletin has not turned up.This is mainly the hotmail users, who will need to collect their Bulletins from the website. Users of some other service providers have also experienced similar problems. This seems to be due to the temporary T-mobile system I am using. Sorry. That will change eventually. Roger *** Donna Nook Update *** Rob Lidstone-Scott writing on 24/11/09 20 November count: bulls 344, cows 955, pups 842. Total reserve pup count 931. Another 6000 people on Sunday 22nd. See: http://www.lincstrust.org.uk/reserves/nr/reserve.php?mapref=15 *** Police Wildlife Unit *** Nige Lound and the Lincolnshire Police Wildlife Unit need the support of all right-thinking people, Lincolnshire's naturalists in particular. His interesting article asks for this help in a variety of ways and I am sure all of us wish to do what we can to counter wildlife crime. We could provide 800+ new members of Farm & Country Business Watch! Roger Nigel Lound writes: The Hare Coursing season is once again upon us, although it has been relatively quiet in Lincs since April. The fact that the majority of individuals involved are from the travelling fraternity and/or criminal fraternity does not lessen the fear of associated crime however. We are attempting to reduce the fear of crime in rural areas by raising awareness and having dedicated Action Days to deter offenders. This is, and has always, proved difficult due to the nature of the individuals responsible and the antiquated laws we have at our disposal! Due to the early harvest, incidents of Deer Poaching appeared to be on the increase both in the north and south of the county. 'Poacher Watch' is still active in the south of the county, but I would like to see more new members as this could lead to more incidents being detected before, or while, they are happening and not the day after the event. Retrospective information should still be reported to us however. Vigilance is the key word and you are reminded not to approach these individuals, but to contact your nearest Police Station. The number for ALL calls to report crimes is 01522 532222. You will need to ask for the Force Communications Centre to report an incident and obtain an incident number. An incident number is essential, so please don't forget to ask for one. I am always banging on about this, but it means the incident will be on the Force computer and I will (should!) pick it up – it will also assist with our strategic assessment of wildlife crimes. This brings me on to the Farm & Country Business Watch. The idea is to encourage ALL people living in rural areas, not just farmers, to become members. Being Lincolnshire born and bred, I am obviously concerned about what happens to the county, especially in terms of crime, be it mainstream crime, wildlife or environmental crime. In an ideal world there would be more Police Officers in our rural areas, but as we are now 'intelligence led' with the majority of resources deployed to known hotspots of crime. Not reporting crimes in rural areas will inevitably lead to even less Police Officers in these areas. People living in rural areas need to be on the lookout not just for themselves, but also for their neighbours, and report any suspicious incidents or vehicles. We all need to get involved with protecting our fair county against the criminal minority. It is frustrating to investigate a crime in a rural area and find there is not a single line of enquiry, so please stand up and be counted! Often, vehicles involved in crime are found some miles from the scene of the crime, so it is important that any suspicious vehicles etc. are reported – let's face it, most peopled know their local vehicles! Unless we are told of the sighting there is very little we can do. I would like to take this opportunity to ask, and recommend, that bulletin readers join this new initiative, especially if they are particularly concerned about rural areas. Wildlife Crime incidents always need reporting if we are to see the full picture. If it is not reported it is not a problem! This can be said for ALL types of crime. Application forms for the Farm & Country Business Watch scheme can be found on the Lincs Police website or obtained via your local station. If you care about your county, please join Farm & Country Business Watch! The Farm and Country Business Watch can be contacted direct on 01522 558399 or via email: Sharon.horne@lincs.pnn.police.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2.

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.
