No. 38 NEWSLETTER Winter 1997

WEST MIDLANDS BRANCH, BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION

 

Information for Contributors
 

The deadline for Spring newsletter contributions is Tuesday 3rd March 1998.

Hand-written articles will be transcribed and returned for corrections. Printed documents will be less prone to transcription errors, especially as it is often possible to scan them in directly. Discs would be very welcome, ideally plain ASCII, but anything readable by Microsoft Word 7.0 should be fine.

Pictures will normally be scanned in and should be black and white. (The final reprographic process for printing off the newsletter does not do justice to ‘grey scale’ or colour). Note that, unlike text, pictures cannot be modified by me (except for size adjustment).

Copyright: Pictures for publication must of course be free of copyright restrictions.

Spelling: I will try to correct obvious spelling mistakes unless this affects the writer’s style but, in the cause of achieving a consistent format, will use the Word UK dictionary spelling where there are several options.

Letters

from T.G. Bucknall

Sunday 17th August was Worcestershire’s MAD day, with the southern end of Worcs. the target area, being the county’s most under recorded area.
Or so I thought. Unfortunately no one else turned up, so single handedly I headed off to the Longdon Marsh area. A total of 13 species were recorded, all common species.
If more people had turned up, more tetrads could have been covered, allowing us to move to other areas next year. However there will now be under recorded tetrads to the south of the county, so they will have to wait until next year.
To return to a plea from Digby Wood in the last news sheet, please don’t assume on these events, that someone else will always turn out.

Yours faithfully,

                              T.G. Bucknall
