Walk in honour of a preacher


THIRTEEN members of Clitheroe Ramblers met at Jumbles Country Park to walk "The Roger Worthing­ ton Round". Led by Mr John Barker,


they climbed the hill to Affetside village where they admired the Millennium development around the


"Old Cross".' - They then proceeded to


Hawkshaw village and across the Army training grounds below Holcombe Moor where they had lunch. The group spent some time at the graveside of Roger Worthington, a lay preacher who died in 1709, before descending the moors to Edgworth. After a short break at the Brown- low Institute the group fol­ lowed the river and reser­ voir back to the Jumbles. The day was warm and

Lecturer bids a fond


farewell to naturalists NATURALIST and photographer Mike Berry gave a farewell lecture at a meeting of


Clitheroe Naturalists. A lecturer for 29 years, he


explained that it was his last, as he was going to con­ centrate on other aspects of


his work. The audience was treated


to an evening of superb visual images from Lan­ cashire's diverse landscapes


and habitats. Mr Berry opened his lec­


ture at Clitheroe Library with a kaleidoscope of pic­ tures, ranging from sheep on Pendle to Barlick and Wycoller, and then concen­ trated on particular areas: woodland, farmland, moor­ land mountain streams, coastal areas and uplands. He pointed out that in


treecreepers. A badger, who would eat almost anything, appeared from his sett. The audience heard an unusual recording of the chirping sound made by this crea­ ture. A fox used the same opening for his lair, but with a separate passage inside. On farm land, the system


of silage production had meant that the lapwing was declining because of lost nesting sites, he said. The kestrel was the only bird that hovered. He showed a succession of five chicks in a treetop nest taken from a tower-like "hide" 90ft. above. There was a magnifi­ cent picture of a barn owl with wings spread, entering a barn to feed its offspring. There were many more


woodlands the disappear­ ance of red squirrels had been caused by disease, and efforts had been made to reintroduce them, but not always successfully. In the woods there were


beautiful slides and skilful effects used to illustrate his


themes. Mr Berry was thanked


by member Norman Berry, who expressed how much his work would be missed. The next lecture, which is


scenes of celandines and anemonies in profusion. Bird life included the wood­ pecker, nuthatch and


due to take place at 7-30 p.m. today at Clitheroe Library, is "British Owls" by Peter Smith.
