YOUNG naturalists hoping to experience real wildlife encounters
are invited to the
launch of an exciting new group!
Wildlife Watch is the junior section of the Wildlife Trusts and
Watch groups are aimed at children between the ages of 8 and 13
years.
Dale Fort Wildlife Watch Group is hosting its first meeting on
Saturday 14th February from 10am to 12pm.
The group is run by Field Studies Council Staff and Volunteers
from Dale Fort Field Centre. Regular meetings will be held on the
second Saturday of every month from 10am to 12 noon and are open to
both Wildlife Watch members
and non-members.Love is in the air...bird boxes and insect
hotels are the focus for our first. Now is the time of year to
build and hang boxes/hotels as creatures are starting to think of
making new families. For the groups later meetings, it is hoped
that
the children will decide what activities they are most
interested in carrying out. They could include from mammal trapping
to seine netting.
For more information contact Dale Fort Field Centre on 01646 636
205 or email [email protected] /

Support The Boardwalk Meeting Jan 11th @ The Galleon Inn
It was felt that it was really important to keep up the momentum
of
the groupsenthusiasm by continuing to research
and develop the existing ideas to widen the appeal of the
Slashpond Boardwalk and potential funding available. It was agreed
that at the next meeting these would be discussed in earnest so
that
members could assign themselves to a particular task, project,
funding
research.It was agreed to try and be a bit strategic about
future Fundraising
Events andget a calendar of events planned early
. We need to get ideas down andorganisers allocated!
Hayley, Scott & Les had met with Anthony Richards from PCNPA
in December and they had discussed the requirements for handrails
& kickboards on the new Boardwalk. Hayley provided Anthonys
comprehensive report which said, in short, that the current
provision should be replicated on the new boardwalk , but with the
addition of a third lower rail on the handrails. Les & Scott
completed the January risk assessment [Sat 24th] and measured up
for the wood requirements for the handrails/kickboards and will now
get some quotes for supply. The quote will enable the group to have
a target of what monies will be required to fund the new rails and
kickboards. It was agreed that once raised, this money would be
ring fenced in the accounts. Susan advised the group that quite
a
SUPPORT THE BOARDWALK!few of the boards in the section of
boardwalk from the from the viewing area towards the picnic area
had deteriorated and needed attention. Jonny Griffiths has repaired
these using the timber stored. Although not part of the groups
'remit', the gravel path in the same area was also discussed, it
was felt that its current condition was very poor and there are
flooding problems. Ben agreed to talk to the building contractors
at the school to see if they could be persuaded to take a look and
offer any advice or a practical solution. Agriweld [the chosen
boardwalk contractor] confirmed the steel had been ordered. HCC
have confirmed since the meeting that they are in receipt of the
invoice for the steel and the Clerk, is administering her first
draw down of SITA grant funds to pay Agriweld. Karen had emailed a
copy of the accounts to group members earlier in the day. Susan
updated us on the Easyfundrasing total which has reached an
excellent 267. Susan agreed to keep Facebook posts updated to
remind users about EF especially as there are lots of funds to
raised by those booking holidays online!

in a very poor condition and despite promises from a Pembrokeshire
contractor she was struggling to find a local contractor to carry
out the work. She was very concerned that the work should be
completed before it deteriorated further. PCC contractors have
advised that they were unable to do the work due to their work
load. Cllr Mark Burch said he would make some enquiries regarding
local contractors before Christine issued the work further afield.

Diaryby the 20th
On your marks! Bang!! We are off to another year of delights and
wonder at what grows well and what doesn't!It is a clich, but
spring is just around the corner with the harbingers: snowdrops,
primroses, my cousin's camellias, all smiling and encouraging me to
shake off the winter blues and start sowing.Of course I have not
been completely comatose and my seed potatoes are in their egg
boxes chitting away with hopes of planting my first earlies at the
end of February weather permitting.This year I am conducting my own
trial of six different varieties of new potatoes, five plants of
each. The soil at the allotment is great for growing spuds, but I
have not found that particular potato that gives me the waxy flesh
and flavour I so remember from my childhood in Devon.Whilst on the
subject, we are still eating the Charlotte potatoes (second early)
that I left in the ground far too long and so ended up being stored
like main crop. However they are beginning to sprout (chit) so will
not be good for much longer.The Pink Fir Apple are still in good
shape (well not the potato of course!) and should last in store
until well into March. In spite of their very knobbly shape they
are easy to cook (boil) with their skins on. They have a slightly
nutty flavour.Talking of main crop, this year I am growing the
Sarpo Mira blight resistant potato, with a hope they will store
well into spring as well as Pink Fir AppleAt home I grow a 5m row
of sweet peas, always the most heavily scented in a mixture of
colours. Last year's I sowed in the previous autumn and needed a
lot
THE HAVENS COMMUNITY ALLOTMENTS AND GARDENSof pinching out to
stop them becoming tangled and unmanageable. They did seem to start
flowering earlier than usual in spite of the cold spring. However,
I did not sow any last autumn so will do so mid Feb and see if it
makes much difference. I will use my heated propagator set to
15C.For broad beans I am growing The Sutton, a dwarf variety that
did well last year and easier to protect from gales on our very
exposed site. I am starting them in the polytunnel in half a paper
towel tube. I used this method last year and the plants did well
with no checking when planted out. The trick is not to start them
too early so they are about 6 tall when planting out tube and all
in late March, again weather permitting. Last year I delayed
planting out until April as it was such a cold spring, and they
were a bit leggy, but survived and cropped surprisingly well.I
still have carrots and leeks in the ground, but they really are
coming to the end now. Cabbage and perpetual spinach are hardly
growing at all and the spinach trashed by the gales, but still
edible and should carry on until late spring before bolting as
usual!There are 10m x 10m plots available at 25 per annum which
includes site insurance and manure provided free of charge. Some
have been under cultivation and available as the owner has left the
County, so first come first served!Patrick Hellings, Chairman

BIRD WATCH Welcome to this months Bird Watch. Im one of two
Ambassadors for the British Trust for Ornithologys (BTOs) Garden
BirdWatch Scheme in South Wales. Each month I introduce you to a
bird or other animal that you might see in your garden.Bird of the
Month: FieldfareThe Fieldfare is a winter visitor to Britain. From
late October they arrive in large flocks from Scandinavia their
arrival coinciding with the end of the Rowan berry crop in their
breeding areas. They may remain with us until May. Fieldfares are
members of the thrush family and are about the same size as a
Blackbird but appear larger due to their upright stance. Their
hopping run is typical of all thrushes. Males and females are
identical in appearance (although the female has a slightly longer
tail) with slate-grey head, nape and rump and contrasting chestnut
coloured back and black tail. The throat and breast are a
golden-brown with black streaks; if you get a really good view you
should be able to see how the spots on the upper breast become dark
chevrons as they progress downwards. Flocks of Fieldfares can be
seen feeding on worms and insects in fields, often alongside
species such as Redwing, or in berry-laden trees in the wider
countryside. During severe winter weather, and when fruit crops are
depleted in the wider countryside, Fieldfares will venture into
gardens. Did you know?The maximum recorded age of a Fieldfare is 14
years, 8 months and 24 days (set in 2010).At their breeding
grounds, Fieldfares join together to pelt predators with their
droppings.Bird rings from Norwegian and Finnish Fieldfares have
been found in the pellets of a Peregrine Falcon in the Brecon
Beacons.The Welsh name is Socan Eira.How to attract them to your
garden: When the ground is frozen, Fieldfares may be attracted by
fallen apples or berries on trees such as holly, rose hips or
Ivy.Conservation status: RED due to recent breeding population
decline (19692007).BTO Garden BirdWatch data show that Fieldfares
are more likely to visit gardens during harsh winters. During
eleven years of surveying my garden, I have only recorded Fieldfare
three times and that was during the hard winter of 2010 at the very
beginning and end of the year.Make Your Garden Count!If you took
part in the RSPBs Big Garden Birdwatch last month and enjoyed it,
why not step up to BTO Garden BirdWatch the largest year-round
survey of garden birds in the world? Please contact me for a free
enquiry pack or to book a talk (Swansea and surrounding areas).
