Editors Page Welcome to the second year of the fair. This year we have organised the event to cover all wildlife and the environment and are offering more activities for people of all ages. There have been a lot of positives from the first year and we have tried to expand on these to make the event more complete – we have learned you can’t please everyone all of the time! Some businesses from last year have decided not to return but we have added many new ones to the list of exhibitors and we would like to thank the businesses for their support. The event would be nothing without them. Norfolk will always be a special county for its diversity of wildlife and hopefully the fair will mirror this importance and raise awareness of the issues involved in protecting what we have. All the organisations here are passionate about what they do. We hope we have, again, made the event and enjoyable place to catch up with wildlife friends and to do a bit of shopping. Don’t forget to support some of the charities that all do a great job in conservation and have a look at some of the great optics on offer.. If you have any ideas on how to
improve the event for future years , please let us know at the email address below. This year we had hoped to offer an art marquee, but could not quite get enough artists to make it work, but it will be our target for next year. Due to the costs of the event last year, we were unable to give as much to the chosen charity as we had hoped. We will be presenting a cheque for £250 to the Hawk and Owl Trust. This year we expect this figure to increase.

The perfect landing Located next door to RSPB Titchwell, Briarfields is the perfect spot to enjoy North Norfolk’s outdoor spaces. After a restful stay in one of the hotel’s comfortable rooms and a hearty breakfast, enjoy a visit to the bird reserve – but there’s plenty more nature to explore, with a 3, 4 or 6km walk along the coastal path from the hotel. And don’t forget a trip to nearby Blakeney to see this year’s seal population. We’ll be waiting with a warm welcome and our local seasonal menu once you return.

What was happening in the world when Mannington Hall was built? Mannington Hall was completed in 1460. What was happening in the UK and the world at this time? In January of 1460 the French raided the South Coast capturing the fleet. In Altrecht they were burning witches in the town square. This was a continuation of the witch hunts that started in 1450 right across Europe. Whilst on a not so pleasant subject – Vlad III, otherwise known as Vlad the Impaler, was murdering the locals in Wallachia in Romania. Vasilly the Second was the ruler or Russia, closely followed by Ivan the Great in 1462 In 1460 the Yorkist army led by the Earl of Warwick, defeated the Lancastrians at the Battle of Northampton. Henry VI was captured and his wife, Margaret, escaped to Scotland. Richard of York was again Protector of the throne. In August 1460, while supervising a siege of English occupiers of Roxburgh Castle, King James II of Scotland is killed when one of his own cannon exploded. 1460 saw Queen Margaret raising a Lancastrian army in the north and defeating and killing Richard of York at Wakefield, the Earl of Warwick took London for the Yorkists. On Dec 30, Richard Plantagenet (b.1411), English Duke of York, was killed by Lancastrians at the Battle 6.
of Wakefield. Queen Margaret hung his head from Micklegate Bar, one of the original entries to the city of York. In early 1461 the Yorkists won the Battle of Mortimers Cross. Queen Margaret marched her army South, defeating the Earl of Warwick at St Albans, and freeing Henry. Edward, son of Richard of York, defeated Margaret’s Lancastrian forces on 29 March at the Battle of Towton - the largest and bloodiest battle ever on British soil when 28,000 lost their lives. Margaret and Henry fled to Scotland. Henry is deposed by Edward who declared himself King Edward IV. (Henry gets the throne back in 1470, but only for a few months before he dies, probably murdered in the Tower of London). Louis the XI is crowned in France in 1461 From 1460 to 1470 in Peru, Machu Pichu was built in the Peruvian Andes. Pachacuti was the Inca King at the time. It was occupied for about 50 years before 180 Spanish conquistadors wiped out a 40,000-man Inca army. From 1457 to–1461 Zhu Qizhen (former Zhengtong Emperor) seized power from the Jingtai Emperor in a palace coup in China and began his second reign as the “Tianshun Emperor”. The Portuguese Prince, Henry the Navigator (b.1394) who is considered the patron of explorers, died in 1460. Southern Greece was conquered by the Ottomans.
PROJECTS Project 1 RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Rescue Centre. The tidal surge in December 2013 put a big strain on finances at the rescue centre so projects were put on hold. The centre is trying to raise funds to replace heir two blocks of aviaries. One block has 9 aviaries in and is used for birds of prey and the other block has 8 aviaries and is used for passerines. They are having an Open Day this year on the 12th and 13th July and any fundraising will be going towards this for the next and goodness knows how many years!!
Project 2 Waveney Hogspital. This small rescue centre survives on good will and volunteers. They are in need of new equipment, such as heat pads, to keep up with the constant stream of poorly and displaced hedgehogs. This year they have fundraised for a new hogspital buiding and now need to update some of their equipment. This is a great opportunity to help as small centre that does a terrific job.
Project 3 BTO Farmland Bird Appeal. Farmland bird declines are not a new issue but many species, including Skylark, are still disappearing and others are showing no sign of recovery. Our farmland birds continue to struggle despite the measures that have been implemented to halt their declines. More research is urgently needed to understand why there has only been limited success so far. We want to carry out the second generation of research to find solutions that work for farmland birds, and farmers, to reverse the declines. We hope to identify how farmland birds are using the agri-environment scheme (AES) measures that have been designed to help them and find out why they aren’t leading to the expected recoveries of farmland bird populations. How are birds adapting and interacting with changing land-use, climate, predators, competitors, parasites and disease? What is it about some options that produces negative effects on Skylarks? Are features being used as they were designed to be used? What effects are habitat having on productivity of farmland birds? Using new and novel techniques, such as tracking and camera trapping, and by combining the BTO’s traditional strengths of volunteer-led and professional science, we aim to find out.

Phoenix Bird of Prey Rescue
Phoenix Bird of Prey Rescue at Hethersett
was set up in 2013 by Jo Daffin as a non profit organisation for the rescue, rehabilitation and release of wild birds of prey, and is run solely by volunteers. Injured birds are brought in by members of the public from all over Norfolk and Suffolk. We then work closely with Toll Barn Vets in North Walsham to rehabilitate the bird ready for release back where it was initially found. We keep the finder up to date with the progress of that bird and when it is ready to release they are welcome to watch 16.
barn owls were found starving in a nest late last year and with the permission of the barn owner and the wild crime officers we took the owls to care for them until spring when they will be reintroduced back to the wild.
the release, to complete the process. We have a rehabilitation facility in Hethersett which consists of a well equipped hospital where the birds can recover before going into the specialist aviaries to regain their fitness. From here, once they are fit enough to care for themselves, they go back to the wild. For long term patients there is a second rehabilitation aviary on a private site, run by one of our dedicated volunteers. At the moment we concentrate on Birds of Prey but can point mem-
bers of the public to other rescue centres that rescue garden birds and other wildlife. To raise money and awareness we attend local shows and talks. We are always looking for volunteers to help out on stands at events and to transport injured birds, found by members of public, to our vets for the initial check up. We do educational talks for groups and schools and only ask for a donation for this. In the first year we spent over £2000 on vets fee’s alone. The birds are fed on natural coloured food
stuffs such as dark mice, rabbit and quail, this keeps the birds on as normal a diet as possible ready for their return back to the wild. It costs around ÂŁ10 a week to feed a wild tawny owl. We work with other organisations and charities to get the best outcome for the birds in our care as well as taking on birds from other organisations to continue their
rehab process in our facility. If you would like to help or make a donation to Phoenix please contact Jo. Our email address for our pay pay and our contact email address is : phoenix_rescue@hotmail.co.uk and our phone number is 07796766385
The 2 kestrels above were from felixstowe. The mother had made a nest in hey bales and then sadly she got killed when the bales were moved. We cared for them until they were fully grown and strong enough to go back to felixstowe and be slowly reintroduced back to the wild. The young tawny owl , left, was 1 of 4 that was brought into us last spring. They all came in from different locations as tiny babies but were all reintroduced together back to the wild near our vets so that they could be kept an eye on.

The Geocaching Trail Geocaching fits in really well with wildlife watching as it gets you out and about and requires you to be observant. The idea is to look for certain locations using GPS that is found on most smart phones or from a hand held GPS device. With a smartphone it can be a free hobby but of course you can buy better gps equipment or upgrade to a premium geocaching membership from a website. It is like a treasure hunt where you look for different types of cache, from tiny micro containers to large ones. Some are stand alone whereas others, like the new trail at Mannington, have several along a route which makes for a really good walk. The inside of each cache varies, generally dependant on size. Each will have a log in for you to sign to say you have found it and others have pens and goodies in them for you to swap. For these you can bring you own item and leave it behind while you take an item already in the container. If you are lucky you may find a trackable which is an item on a mission. These are designed to travel from cache to cache whilst being recorded so its owner can see where it has been. To record your cache finds and to get the GPS co-ordinates you need to log onto a geocaching website like www.geocaching.com where you will find maps and clues. Geocaches can be found all over the world so you can also look when you go on holiday. To help when out in the field, you can download an app from the app store straight to your smartphone to give you the same information To make it easy for you to start in case you don’t yet have the app, here are the GPS co-ordinates and clues for the Mannington Hall Trail. Always put the caches back where you found them and try to stop non cachers from seeing you. Please remember to follow the countryside code when in the countryside.
