PETTY & C O 'S NEW OFFICE
Spiroflow Ud., Clitheroe-based manufacturer of powder handling sysiems, has
recently set up a subsidiary in Germany. To promote this export initiative, Spiroflow will be on the road again with its mobile expo unit, visiting large food and chemical plants in Germany, Holland and Belgium. Pictured above, this purpose built 40ft trailer contains conveying, weighing, bulk bag handling and other process equipment. Chairman and export director Michel Podevyn says:- “We find this an excellent way to show our machines to busy engineers who don't seem to have time these days to go to trade exhibitions. It also gives other production and packaging engineers on site the chance to see what's available to improve dust-free and hygienic production methods”. Spiroflow currently exports 40% of its turnover and has subsidiaries in USA and
South Africa. The Clitheroe factory employs 40 people and is amendy seeking to recruit further technical design and service personnel as part of its ongoing expansion programme.

THE ornithological event of the new year has been the large influx of waxwings. I last saw them locally in
Scandinavia and Russia and a few winter in Scotland and north eastern England each year. When food supplies in Scandinavia run low, larger numbers may come to Britain and the birds travel further south and west as has happened this year. I t was not the severe weather locally but that in Scandina
1991 but far fewer birds were involved then. These birds breed in the coniferous forests of northern

snow bunting, with a small flock spending the winter months on Pendle Hill. The snow bunting is also an Arctic bird with just a few breeding in the Scottish Highlands. Whether the rendle birds are from Scotland or further afield is not known. When they fly, the white wings make them look like a flurry of dancing snow flakes, but they spend most of their time on the ground feeding on grass seeds, which means that they can be difficult to locate. Last week I made yet another fruitless search for these
other berries and many people were lucky enough to see them feeding in their gardens. In flight, they look very like star lings, But when feeding the large backward-directed crest can be easily seen. The general colour is a warm buff but the tip of the tail is bright yellow and there is also some yellow in the wings, together with a small red spot that looks remarkably like a blob of sealing wax, from which the birds get then* name. Another bird which winters in our area every year is the
birds, but as the sun shone on the closely sheep-cropped cushions of bilberry on the stoney area ju s t south o f the sum mit, I saw something glinting. A closer inspection showed
several ladybirds. Without my glasses I had to use the old trick of looking through my binoculars the wrong way round in order to identify the species, which was the seven-spot lady bird. I started to count them but gave up on reaching 250. I estimate that several thousand individuals had worked their way into the base of the plants in order to hibernate. The warmth of the sun must have brought them to the surface. What caused such large numbers to fly to the summit of
Pendle to spend the winter I do not know. What is certain is that this winter and a t that altitude they must have faced several prolonged periods of sub-zero temperatures. When tis sues freeze, ice crystals are formed and the resultant disrup tion to cell structure is fatal, as with frost bite in humans Clearly, these individuals had not suffered that fate. Insects
which hibernate protect themselves by producing a natural anti-freeze, usually glycerol.
