Helping hand for our local skylarks


By Duncan Smith •


THE RSPB is appealing to Kib­ ble Valley farmers with arable fields to join a simple but innova­ tive scheme to help skylarks. . Skylarks are one of the UK’s best-


known farmland birds, but during the past 30 years their numbers have steadily dropped. Now a new initia­ tive is set to help this small farmland favourite. The birds traditionally forage and


nest in and around spring-sown cere­ als, but by adopting the newly-test­ ed and novel “skylark plots” farmers are set to make winter-sown crops just as attractive to these birds. Skylark plots are small areas of


undrilled land within a winter-sown crop. These plots have a minimal impact on the jdeld of the field and can he used to score points as part of an application for the new Defra Environmental Stewardship Entry Level Scheme. The plots make ideal foraging areas for skylarks and have been shown to increase the number of chicks, making them an impor­ tant resource. . Andrew Gouldstone, RSPB con­


servation manager for the North West, said: “A countryside without the beautiful song of the skylark would he a much poorer place and


for farmers, who spend so much time out in the fields, the loss of these delightful birds would be very sad indeed. “Skylark plots are a really simple


and yet effective way in which farm­ ers can deliver enormous benefits for


these birds, within fields of winter cereal. “We are urging farmers to help


these birds by including skylark plots within their Entry Level Scheme applications. To save the skylark, farmers only need to turn off their seed drills for a count of two seconds when sowing winter cereals. Farmers are paid £5 for each of these four-by-four metre patches, which help skylarks access nesting and feeding areas within the dense crops.” Mr Gouldstone added: “ Our


research has shown that if enough farmers put these plots into their fields, then the decline of the skylark in England could be reversed. Because Entry Level Scheme agree­ ments last for five years, what farm­ ers do now ivill impact upon the bird until the end of the decade. "We are particularly looking for


farmers with suitable fields by the side of main roads or motorways, where we could incorporate skylark plots, so we can generate lots of interest from passing motorists. Sky­ lark plots look similar to crop circles


- and we all know how much impact they have on people passing by. “This would be a really positive


advert for the conservation work that farmers are doing. Please con­ tact us on 01995 642253 if you could help."


Skylark plot poiiilcrs • Winter cereal fields with sky­


lark plots hold more nesting skylarks throughout the breeding season than conventional cereal fields, especially late in the season when numbers in conventional fields tail off as the crop becomes taller and thicker. • Skylark plots are easily created


by switching off the drill to create undrilled patches of at least 3m in length. • Fields with two skylark plots


per hectare have been shown to have significant benefits for skylarks. • On average, nests in fields con­


taining skylark plots produce more chicks than those in conventional fields. Skylark chicks that fledged in fields with skylark plots are also heavier, suggesting that they are bet­ ter fed and more likely to survive the winter. • Skylarks do not generally nest


in the. skylark plots, but instead use them for foraging. • The fields need to be over five


hectares in size and used for winter cereal crops.


Little X-tra help for children


COLOURING competition winners were rewarded for their hard work at Clitheroe’s Halifax Building Society. The youngsters had all submitted


entries in a contest run to coincide with the town’s Sheep Fest. Coun. Mary Robinson, the Mayor of


the Kibble Valley, had been given the dif­ ficult task of judging all the entries in each of the three age categories. She eventually named the winners as Annabel Davies, Lottie Geldard and Jes­


sica Bowen, with runners-up including George Hutchinson and Hannah Murray. The winners each received a digital


camera and pedometer, ivith goody bags and a pedometer presented to the second prizewinners. Our photograph shows Coiin. Robinson


presenting Annabel Davies with her first prize, also pictured are Lottie Geldard and Jessica Bowen with cashiers Lynette Palmer and Cheryl Harris. (A130605/7)


Leisure skills for young people


A NEW scheme which aims to recognise the leisure skills of young people has been introduced in the Ribble Valley. Roefield Leisure Centre has teamed


up with Lancashire Youth and Commu­ nity Service to provide an accredited service to young people involved in the Time-Out Youth Project. Held on a Saturday evening at the


Edisford Road leisure centre, the project enables people between the ages of 12 to 15 to participate in a variety of sporting activities, including; badminton, foot­ ball, climbing wall and the gym. And now, those involved, will have the


option to gain an AQA certificate in the sports and skills they have learned. The project, which aims to encourage and motivate young people to use their


leisure time more positively, will give them the opportunity to receive a recog­ nised qualification. Lisa Harvey, from Lancashire Youth


and Community Service in the Ribble Valley, said: “This project is the result of strong partnerships between ourselves and the team at Roefield Leisure Centre. “We are providing young people with


access to health and fitness as well as gaining recognised awards for their work. “Our input into this project is possible


due to the support of Clitheroe the Future,” she added. Anyone interested in finding out about


the scheme should contact Roefield Leisure Centre on 442188 or Lisa Harvey at the Youth Service on 01254 824544.


Pioneering technique will reduce level of treatment


PIONEERING new techniques used for cervical screening will reduce unnecessary investigation, treatment and anxiety for women across the Ribble Valley, according to cervical screening experts. A new technology, called liquid-based


cytology, is a new way of preparing sam­ ples for examination in the laboratory. The technique will make it easier to read sam­ ples and reduce the number of tests where samples cannot be read properly. The move is also intended to reduce the:


unnecessary anxiety women are put through when they are recalled for further tests. Cervical screening detects abnormalities


which, if left untreated, could lead to cer- ■vical cancer. Regular screening is one of the best defences against cervical cancer and women invited for screening are encour­ aged to attend. Changing the age at which screening starts will reduce unnecessary : investigations and treatments. Research found that while changes to the


cervix were common in women under 25, cancer was rare. In light of the above findings, other


changes to the screening service include the ages of women invited for smear tests ris­ ing from 20 to 25 years. Women aged 25 to 49 will then be screened every three years and women aged 50 to 64 every five years. The changes have been welcomed by Dr


Mira Biswas, consultant in public health at the East Lancashire Public Health Net­ work. ,


• , She said: “The changes to the screening


programme will bring hiige benefits to women in East Lancashire - including those in Hyndburn and Ribble Valley areas. “Also, by using liquid-based cytology


many more will receive their results faster and fewer will be asked to back for a repeat test because the original one was ‘inade­ quate’.”


Anyone requiring more information


about screening patients should contact their doctor, local health clinic or NHS Direct on 0845 4647. Alternatively, you can visit the cancer


screening website by logging onto wiviv.cancerscreening.nhs.uk
