[Adastra] Bee Eater?

2015-04-20 Thread Richard Price
After hearing about lots of dead bumble bees at Eccelesbourne meadow in Hastings Country Park I took a walk and yes there are dead bees all over the meadow. I examined a few and they nearly all have emptied out abdomens. Abdomens with no contents. I thought this was likely to be some creature

[Adastra] Recording Habitats

Is it possible to record a habitat? If so how? One of the best spots in Hastings Country Park is a soft cliff face that decends to a seepage habitat. I think that the seepage might not be noted.

Are you saying landowners including farmers are not responsible for clearing meadows? I member reading that 97% were lost since ww2. How did it happen one wonders? It was not all ploughed up during the war but was lost as a result of the change in policy from that point onwards. Landowners

[Adastra] Ecclesbourne Glen

Today in Hastings the weather was misty and cold, I didn't expect to see many birds during my walk. But I was pleasantly surprised. At the viewpoint at the cliff top Ecclesbourne Glen I watched a Raven. It chased the crows from their perches on the cliff face and chased them round the sky.
