Local Man
Runs London Marathon
For Cancer Charity
Richard Hillam from Windsor Road in Carlton-in-Lindrick is
running this year's London Marathon on Sunday April 26th to
raise funds for Sheffield based Charity Cavendish Cancer Care.

Having entered the annual ballot for
the opportunity to take part in this event
on seven different occasions and been
unsuccessful, Richard was thrilled to be
given the opportunity to raise funds for
Cavendish Cancer Care in 2015's event.
Cavendish was a client of graphic
designer Richard and knew of his desire
to compete, so offered him their charitable
acceptance to this year's run.
Richard has lived in the village for
all of his life, except for his time at
Nottingham University, born and bred
in Windsor Road.
Richard has already gained some running
experience by running the Nottingham
Marathon in 2009. This, along with
competing in fourteen Half Marathons,
including Cardiff, Manchester and Retford
to name a few.
Carlton News has received support from the Coalfields
Regeneration Trust, and Carlton in Lindrick Parish Council
Richard is currently running in excess
of thirty miles a week. He does, however,
have a twenty mile run planned in the
next two weeks.
A target has been set to try to raise
between £1500 and £2000 pounds from
sponsorship and donations. The current
total is £900.
I am sure our generous readership can
help Richard to achieve his target and
beyond. You can donate with gift aid
by going to justgiving.com/richardhillam
- all sponsorship and donations will
be gratefully accepted, supporting this
worthwhile cause.
You can follow Richard's progress and
how well he performed and the final
amount raised on The Carlton News
Website.

BOYS’ BRIGADE
Bassetlaw Cardiac Support Group
Back in November Gregor Milligan
and Luke Barraclough received their
President’s Badges from the Battalion
President, Mark Boswell and are now
working towards their Queen’s Badge.
Fraser Milligan is working along side
them for his President’s Badge.
This often involves them in helping
the younger members.
Kathryn Hine is now a BB officer and
will do her youth leader training in the
next year.
This time last year the numbers were low.
This has improved considerably and
in November we enrolled ten members
and we have added four more members
recently. This increase in numbers makes
it possible to do more activities than
before, and we have been able to have
relay races, play team games and
parachute games.
Glyn Hine comes from time to time and
we have a ‘Band Night’ and we hope
to have a ‘parade’ at Pentecost.
We have replaced our ‘Games Nights’
by ‘Family Nights’ when other members
of the family are invited to join in.
We sometimes continue for an additional
half hour on these nights
We are having a Sponsored Walk as usual
on Easter Monday, 6 April, which starts
from the Methodist Church and Centre
at 9.30 am and hope to enjoy baked
potatoes etc. on arrival back at the Coffee
Morning, as we did last year. The BB Flag
Day in Worksop is on Saturday 25 April.
The company meets in the Methodist
Church and Centre at 6pm on Tuesdays
during school terms. All boys of school
age are welcome.
Eddie Croot, Captain
1st Carlton in
Lindrick Brownies
1st Carlton in Lindrick Brownies would
welcome girls from 7-9 years old to come

the Parish Centre on Wednesday evenings
from 5.45- 7pm. If you enjoy making new
friends and doing fun activities then come
along to one of our meetings.
For further details please call
Cath Delaney on 477653.

Group members chatting with Paddy Tipping.
The Group held its March meeting at
Retford Hospital and Chairman, Chris
Coldwell warmly welcomed Paddy Tipping
(Police and Crime Commissioner for
Nottinghamshire) as the guest speaker.
The presentation was excellent and
enjoyed by the large attendance of Group
members. A lively and frank question time
rounded off a splendid afternoon.
The Cardiac Support Group Meets on the
first Friday of each month, alternating
between Retford and Bassetlaw hospitals
and welcomes new members to any
of the venues.
The aim of the Group is to support anyone
in the area treated at Sheffield, Bassetlaw
or Doncaster Hospitals or by their GP
following a cardiac episode.
For further information
call Chris 01909 730629
BASSETLAW BRANCH PARKINSON'S UK
Following the Branch AGM the March meeting welcomed special guests, Rachel Baxter
(Parkinson’s Nurse), Barbara Marshall (Speech therapist) and Julia Robinson (information
and support Worker) to a well attended afternoon.
Guest speaker Andrea Davis gave an
impressive presentation and demonstration
of Reflexology which members found very
informative. The popular Pilates class
continues to prove beneficial to all and the
Branch will continue to fund the sessions
for another year. Thanks is extended to
Charlotte Ecclestone for her understanding,
patience and expert tuition.
Branch members will join with the Cardiac
Support Group for a day trip to Cadbury
World for the first outing of the year.
Membership continues to grow and more
friendships, support and socialising are
made possible.
April 7th sees Nichole Huthwaite giving
a presentation on Hypnotherapy. May 5th
welcomes Jeannette Walker, Environment
Officer. Meetings are the first Tuesday
of every month at Worksop Cricket Club
at 2pm. For more information call
Chris 01909 730629.
1st Carlton St. John's Scouts
Let me begin with a big ‘Thank You’ to all
those who turned out on Friday March 6th
for the Flower Arranging fund raiser with
June Borrowdale. It was a sparkling
success and gave a real boost to our
funds. I hope everyone took away some
ideas and enjoyed the event. The money
gets poured back into the improvement
of the Scout Headquarters, its utilities and
upkeep for future generations of scouts
and, of course, perhaps more importantly,
the materials to keep the programme of
events full and interesting for our current
members. We are hoping that in the next
few months we can update our IT
equipment to make it more effective
in supporting the activities of the group
and also add a new dimension to the
climbing wall by adding extra holds and
different routes.
The Beavers needed some material and
stamina as well as warm clothes for their
Big Garden Bird Watch in February. They
spent time looking for different species
in and around the Church and Scout HQ.
I believe a lot of their efforts were
interrupted by the presence of some large
and dominant pigeons who kept a careful
watch on them during the day. However,
they did get about with their charts and
spent an enjoyable day learning about
birds and making novel seed pictures
to hang up for the birds to feed from
in their own gardens. They are also able to
contribute to the RSPB national Big Garden
Bird Watch. The Beavers, Scouts and
Explorer Scouts who gathered at Walesby
this year for the NESST Challenge walk
were very fortunate to have a cold but clear
night for their expedition and the Explorers
from our Group did very well achieving the
second best time behind a Team much
older than themselves. It was really good
to be there and see how many young
people are motivated to turn out on a
winter’s night to take part in events like this.
51 Scout Teams entered and 21 Explorer
Teams. That’s a lot of young people up for a
challenge and an awesome lot of food and
drink provided for both staff and walkers.
The Scouts have been back on the
improved climbing wall over the last
few weeks and also working on their
competence in First Aid helped by the
Explorers who are also members of the
local St John’s Ambulance Brigade. It is
always good to see how bridges can be
built from scouting into other avenues for
service to the community. Speaking of
service, the popular car-wash will take place
on May 18th at the Parish Centre Car Park
from 6.30pm to 8.30 again this year, only
£3.00 per car and a quality assured finish!
All our minds are turning towards the first
weekend Group Camp on the second
weekend in May this year. We are all setting
off for Squirrel Wood north of Doncaster for
a change of scenery. It is going to be a camp
based around the theme of ‘Circus’ and to
help out we have some Circus tutors with
us on the Saturday. There were some
comments about taming wild animals at the
planning meeting, but it wasn’t much to do
with the four legged variety. The potential for
fun and learning new skills seems immense,
with a good turn-out and bright weather
it should be great.
Light nights and the passing of Easter
always gives more opportunity for the
group to be outdoors and doing a wider
range of things. We are indebted to our
leaders for keeping the activities varied
and enjoyable.
If you feel you could be a leader, have
some time to give as a volunteer and would
like to know more about what that entails,
or if you would like to help in any way,
for example as a member of the group
committee, contact Richard Smith on
01909731324 for more information.

Parish Council
Parish Council Tax – What You Get For Your Money
The Parish Council in Carlton in Lindrick
is very much aware of the importance
of communicating to Local Council
Taxpayers exactly what services are
provided locally and how these services
are paid for. Getting good value for your
money is a priority and ensuring quality
services is a day to day objective.
The net cost to the Parish Council
in providing local community services
is £148,000 per annum. This money
is raised by making a property Council
Tax Charge of £95.00 per year which
you will see on your Council Tax Bill.
The £95 charge applies to Band D
properties and this amount will vary
slightly if your property is in a different
Council Tax Band. The charge is collected
by the Bassetlaw District Council along
with other Council Tax Charges.
Government initiatives over recent years
have encouraged Local Authorities at
all levels to be more accountable and
for many years your Local Council has
endeavoured to keep residents informed
on what we do and how Council Tax
Monies are allocated.
Detailed below is an analysis of how
the £95 Annual Council Tax is spent and
what services are supported. The analysis
shows what percentage of the £95 is
allocated to each service and what that
means in relation to how much per
week is allocated to provide the local
services listed.
2. Section 137 Grants (Grants to local
organisation) weekly Council Tax
Charge for the Parish 4p per property
Following the analysis you will find
explanatory notes on the service
provision for each of the Parish Council’s
responsibilities.
This charge enables the Parish Council
to support local organisations who are
benefiting the local community. The Parish
Council supports the Carlton News in the
provision of an excellent local Newsletter
Publication and many other small grants
are made. Recently the Parish Council
has agreed to meet accommodation costs
at the Civic Centre for a local service
which enables local residents to embark
on a healthier lifestyle. The initiative has
the support of local G.P’s who can refer
appropriate patients for participation
in activities to improve their health.
The grants budget enables the Parish
Council to support these activities.
Quite often, members of the local
community are understandably confused
as to which services are provided by
which Local Authority. The above figures
relate totally to the net expenditure being
met by your Parish Council and an
explanation as to how the money
is used to support the services listed
is detailed below.
1. Playing Fields – Open Spaces weekly Council Tax Charge for the
Parish – 26p per property
This charge provides the money for the
Parish Council to employ Contractors
to maintain highway grass verges, garden
areas at the Civic Centre, the Youth
Centre, Lambert Gardens and other
environmental maintenance work.
In recent years this charge which
supplements some work undertaken
by the County and District Council’s
has resulted in excellent standards
being achieved although adverse weather
conditions do occasionally make the
job more difficult.

3. Chairman’s Budget
This is a small allocation of £200 per
annum which is in place if the Council
wishes to send floral tributes to
commemorate recently deceased former
members who have given previous service
to the Council and community. This budget
is used also to purchase wreaths to
commemorate those lost in action serving
their Country in wartime.
4. Staff Costs – weekly Council
Tax Council Charge for the Parish
– 29p per property
This figure represents the cost of
employing two part-time employees
at the Civic Centre to undertake the
work of the Parish Council.
5. Youth Centre – weekly Council
Tax Charge for the Parish – 20p per
property
Most of you will know that the Parish
benefits from having an excellent Youth
Club in Lawn Road. The Youth Club is
held in property owned by the Parish
Council and this allocation enables the
building to be maintained in addition to
supporting the work of staff and volunteers
at the Centre. The Parish Council has an
excellent record in working in cooperation
with the Notts County Council to secure
and develop this valuable community
service for young people. In addition,
the Vintage Club meets on a weekly basis
for more mature residents to have a social
“get together” and to enjoy some of the
facilities at the Club.
Parish Council
6. Village Fete – weekly Council Tax
Charge for the Parish – 2p per property
This allocation supports events arranged
at the local fete held on the field alongside
the Civic Centre in July of each year.
The event is organised by the Civic Centre
staff and is largely self-financing but this
relatively small allocation serves to
support the event especially if bad
weather interferes.
7. Admin/Meeting Rooms – weekly
Council Tax Charge for the Parish
– 6p per property
This charge covers the cost of legislation
updates, Audit Fees, Health & Safety
Inspections and advice, room hire for
meetings, website costs and all Councils'
Insurances and Subscriptions.
8. General Costs – weekly Council Tax
Charge for the Parish – 8p per property
This is a charge in reserve for legal
advice provision which could be required
in relation to all Council activities and
to support unanticipated requirements
arising from risk assessments on all
Council resources.
9. Play Equipment – weekly Council Tax
Charge for the Parish – 1p per property
11. Civic Centre Maintenance – weekly
Council Tax Charge for the Parish
– 11p per property
15. Burial Ground Improvements
– weekly Council Tax Charge for
the Parish 11p per property
The Civic Centre is owned by the
Parish Council. The Council has a duty
to maintain the facilities in good order
and this provision ensures the safety
and efficiency of the building.
The Council owned burial ground at
the Church and adjacent to the A60
Highway is in need of improvement works.
Adverse weather conditions often create
unreasonable surface conditions for
pedestrians. Vehicles and plant equipment
employed on the site also add to the
potential for adverse ground surfaces.
This allocation will enable the Parish
Council to undertake an improvement
scheme which will also improve access
for the disabled to the site.
12. Footpaths and Bridleways
– weekly Council Tax Charge
for the Parish – 3p per property
As most of you will be aware, the Parish
has a network of footpaths and bridleways.
Most rural areas have similar networks.
Although clearance work, maintenance
and signage on the paths is the
responsibility of the Notts County Council,
their budget cuts have meant that the
maintenance work undertaken by the
County is limited to a minimum requirement.
The Parish Council, therefore, arranges for
extra work to be undertaken in an effort
to maintain the network to a good
standard for local users.
13. Burial Ground Maintenance
– weekly Council Tax Charge
for the Parish – 7p per property
This is a charge which ensures Safety
Inspections on all Parish Council
Play Equipment. Professional advice
is obtained by the Council in order
to minimize any accident potential.
In recent years the Parish Council
has become responsible for grounds
maintenance at the Church. Contractors
who also undertake grass cutting and
garden work in the rest of the village also
maintain the burial ground. This allocation
meets the annual cost of the required work.
10. Civic Centre General – weekly
Council Tax Charge for the Parish
– 31p per property
14. Burial Ground Reserve
– weekly Council Tax Charge
for the Parish – 16p per property
The Civic Centre is owned by the Parish
Council and Managed by a Board of
Trustees who employ staff to support
services at the Centre. This allocation
ensures the provision of an excellent
local facility which is available to local
organisations, societies and to local
families for accommodation required for
family occasions. In addition, the Trustees
and Staff endeavour to organise a variety
of Community Events for local residents
and other organisations make use of
the premises to provide their services
at a local level. The Board of Trustees
act purely on a voluntary basis but this
budget allocation helps to support staff
and running costs at the Centre.
Most of you will be aware that space
at the Church for interment purposes is
becoming limited. The Parish Council has
a legal duty to provide land and resources
for interments to continue within the
Parish. If the provision cannot be met,
families would have to arrange for the
interment of deceased loved ones to be
undertaken in other towns or parishes.
The Parish Council is currently in the
process of purchasing land for the
purpose which will serve the local
community for many years to come.
This allocated reserve will contribute
towards development of the land and
the costs of legal and planning fees
which will need to be met.
16. Loan Repayment
– weekly Council Tax Charge
for the Parish – 6p per property
The Capital Cost of land purchase for
the continued provision of burial facilities
within the Parish is £60,000. It is normal
practise for smaller Councils to obtain loan
facilities of this nature from the Public
Works Loan Board, who provide financial
resources to local authorities at competitive
interest rates. The Parish Council has
included within its present budget this
allocation which will mean that provision
has been made for repayment of the loan
without increasing the annual Council Tax
Charge of £95.
Finally, residents need to be reminded
that the £95per annum Council Tax
Charge has been “frozen” for the 4 year
period 2014 to 2018. Your Parish Council
will continue to co-operate and work with
others who have experienced severe
budget cuts in recent years, in order to
maintain good standards in our areas
of responsibility. The joint working principle
is very much supported and promoted
by your local Parish Council, who continue
to be in discussions with the County and
District Councils and representatives of
the Health and Voluntary Sector in order
to maintain a viable community service.
The Parish Council meets at 7pm on the
second Tuesday of each month (except
August, when we do not meet) at the
Civic Centre in Long Lane. Members
of the public are encouraged to attend.
If you have any observations or queries
relating to the Parish Council and its
responsibilities please do not hesitate
to contact Peter Goulding (Clerk) at the
Civic Centre, Long Lane, Carlton in Lindrick,
Worksop, S81 9AP or on 01909 541127.

ELECTIONS
Bassetlaw Moves To
Whole Council Elections
Bassetlaw District Council has voted to
change its election system and will move
to whole council elections from May 2015.
This means that on May 7, 2015, and
every four years after, all of Bassetlaw’s
48 District Councillors will be up for
election, as opposed to the previous
system of electing a third of the council
each year over three consecutive years.
The decision was made at an
Extraordinary Meeting of the Council
on Thursday March 5, 2015, following
two public consultations on the issue.
Of the 41 councillors present, 40 voted
in favour of whole elections.
Stephen Brown, Head of Corporate
Services at Bassetlaw District Council,
said: “Prior to this decision, Bassetlaw
was the only district council in
Nottinghamshire to still elect by thirds.
10
This decision has allowed the council
to modernise its election process and
bring it in-line with the rest of the County.
It also means that we will be able to start
implementing savings immediately.
In addition to District Councillors being
elected every four years, all Parish
Elections will now take place at the same
time to generate additional savings and
provide consistency with ward elections.
“While adopting a whole council elections
process will bring with it significant
savings – an estimated £150k over five
years – this change also has a number
of benefits for both the electorate and
the council.
A briefing session will now be held for
prospective District and Parish candidates,
agents and Parish Clerks on Monday
March 16, 2015 at Worksop Town Hall’s
Ceres Suite, starting at 6:30pm.
“By giving electors the opportunity to vote
for their district councillor once every four
years we hope it will encourage more
people to turn out to the ballot box and
make the process easier to understand.”
Nomination Packs are also now available
to pick up and any candidates or agents
wishing to attend should contact Julie

The Raf Are Coming...
Bring Out The Brylcream!
If you don’t understand the headline, ask
an older member of your family! However,
the brilliant news is that the RAF are coming
to the Civic Centre, Carlton-in-Lindrick.
We are delighted to announce that on
Sunday 5th July 2015 the Band of the
Royal Air Force College, Cranwell will
be giving a Concert at the Civic Centre,
Long lane, by permission of the Air Force
Board of the Defence Council.
The Band’s prestigious engagements
during the last year included a visit to
Amsterdam, playing at Holyrood Palace,
and Buckingham Palace, to name just
a few! They will also be taking part in the
Edinburgh Tattoo and the Lord Mayor’s
Show in London later this year. You can
see why we are so excited that we are
able to host them here in Carlton!
You will notice that the original date
has been changed due to the Band’s
operational duties, which obviously
must take priority.
There is a close connection with
the Band and at least two families
in Carlton-in-Lindrick which makes
it even more exciting that we have
been able to secure this performance.
Freed Beeches
Quiz Night
We anticipate that demand for tickets
will be great; previous concerts that we
have personally attended have been
oversubscribed so please book your tickets
early – at the time of writing (March 8th)
we have at least 40 tickets reserved, and
numbers are limited. If you have heard
the Band before you will know what a great
evening of music it will be and you won’t
want to miss this!
I would just like to say a MASSIVE THANK
YOU to everyone who attended the Freed
Beeches Quiz on the 19th March. I have to
say this has got to have been one of the best
ones ever! The atmosphere was incredible,
so much laughter to be heard and a great
time was had by all. I have to say as always,
I start off vey nervous but the warmth I felt from
everyone who was there, made me at ease
very quickly and I enjoyed every second of it.
Tickets cost £12 and include a Souvenir
Programme. Please order from the
Civic Centre in person or by calling
01909 541127.
I would also like to thank everyone who
donated raffle prizes for the Quiz, including
the wonderful Carlton News, Sally from the
Grey Horses and Lee from BMW for his very
generous donation of a BMW Car Hire from
Friday to Monday! Brilliant.
Doors and the Bar will open at 17.45,
with the Concert commencing at 19.00.
The Concert will be in aid of Help for
Heroes, who will be present, manning a
merchandise stall, and we will be holding
a SUPER Raffle for them. With your help
we hope to raise in excess of £1,000 for
this very worthy charity.
We also hope that Sir Andrew Buchanan,
former Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire,
will be able to join us for this evening
of musical excellence. I look forward
to your company on 5th July, 2015.

The Quiz made a record amount of £585 which
was topped up by a lovely gentleman who after
having such a wonderful time at the quiz,
wanted to donate £100 to FREED. This was
quite overwhelming for me and just wonderful,
so thank you so much, just amazing of you.
I am thinking of organising another quiz night

RAMSDEN PRIMARY
Book Week
Weird and wonderful things were happening
at Ramsden Primary School last week
in preparation for World Book Day 2015...
Strange songs, sealed up doors and
mysterious boxes of goodies arriving.
We've upcycled old jars, fabric and bottles
for a Mad Hatter's Tea Party! Thank you
to all who came along for a cup of tea and
a biscuit. Our choir sang to a packed house!
Recently, one of our pupils, Abbigail,
entered a competition at Tesco in Sheffield
by drawing a design to be printed on their
bags. She won the competition and the
school received 250 bags with her artwork
on – one for every child in school! Tesco
have also donated £300 towards the school
and a trip for her and some friends to visit
the Tesco store.
To find out how to spend the money, she
has set up a steering group with other
children so they can discuss ideas.
Some suggestions for spending the money
so far have been: more art equipment, reading
books or sponsoring an endangered animal.

THE Company
behind the ad
This month we have been speaking to
John Buttery from John's Quality Plants
and Shrubs of Langold. This also
incorporates Flowers by Julie.
Julie is John's partner.
John is celebrating ten years in this
business this year. John describes the
business as a Small Garden Centre,
catering for the local community with the
extensive range of various plants and
flowers they provide mainly British plants.
They do, however, have suppliers who can
get most plants that their customers desire.
John and Julie are now preparing for the
start of what they expect to be a very busy
season. John has always strived to provide
quality plants and shrubs at competitive
prices. Year on year they continue to see
growth in the Garden Centre. However,
restraint on space will see them turn their
stocks over more frequently.
The business is built on good local trade
from their regular customers built over
the period of his tenure.
They are also able to offer a comprehensive
range of food for wild birds. Again, these are
all very competitively priced.
John's three garden tips
1 Don't forget to feed your plants
2 Plant at the right time of the year
3 Plan your garden. Lay the plants
out in pots before planting.
Easier to move pots.
Flowers by Julie offer a full cut flowers
service for every occasion.

GARDENING
by TERRY WOOD
Time To Sow ?
As the weather gets warmer and the soil warms
up now is the time to plan your flower display for
the coming summer. You can save a lot of money
by growing your plants from seed.
When growing plants from seed you need
to take into account which plant group
it belongs to. This will determine the
correct time to sow.
Hardy annuals – plants that germinate,
grow, flower and produce seed
in a 12 month period.
Can be grown from a spring sowing
straight into the ground where you want
them to grow providing the ground is not
wet and sticky. If you have a greenhouse
sow them early under glass and, as they
are frost hardy can be planted out as soon
as they are big enough to handle.
Remember birds and cats love newly
planted and sown garden areas so cover
with netting, sticks or CDs to keep them off.
Seeds of hardy annuals can also be sown
during autumn as the plants will stand the
cold weather and flower in spring.
18
Half-hardy annuals – some of the most
colourful of bedding plants belong to this
group. They are native to countries with
warmer climates and will not withstand
the cold and wet.
They must be sown under glass or heated
frame and planted out when all danger
of frost has passed.
If you have not got a greenhouse
or heated frame you may be able to
germinate seed on a sunny windowsill
as the seed only requires a temperature
of 15 deg. C. Remember to harden plants
off gradually before planting out.
It is also possible to sow seeds of late
flowering half-hardy annuals outside
in May providing all danger of frost
has passed. If you save seed from
these plants for next year store them
over winter in a dry warm place.
Biennials – these are plants that are sown
in one year then overwinter and flower,
make seed and die the following year.
You can sow these straight into the ground
in a prepared seedbed and later thinned
out into rows or sown in a plant pot.
Transfer to a flowering position in autumn.
Biennials that flower early the following
spring will need to be sown early to allow for
enough growth to be made before winter.
Keep on gardening
Jobs for
this month
Vegetable garden – If soil conditions
are favourable, seeds of beetroot,
turnips, carrot, peas and spring onions
can be sown. Early varieties of chitted
potatoes can be planted. Onion sets can
also be planted.
Flower garden – If you need to lift and
divide snowdrops do it whilst they are
still in leaf. Perennials can be planted
as the soil warms up. If growing hardy
annuals prepare the seedbed.
Greenhouse – take cuttings of
chrysanthemums from new shoots and
place in pots of compost. Sow sweet
peas and runner beans in pots ready
to plant out when frosts have finished.

Wildlife NOTES
This first week of March
has not yet seen the
first spring chiffchaffs
in Carlton Wood as far
as I am aware, nor any
early violets.
Only a few celandines in sheltered spots
have begun to show, together with spikes
of bluebell leaves. Snowdrops are still
flourishing, however, in many of our local
woods, and at Creswell Crags recently
many primroses were in full bloom.
Perhaps the bitterly cold winds, low
temperatures, and hard ground frosts
of January and February are responsible
for a slowish start to the spring, though
once the weather really turns, vegetation
quickly catches up. Most plants are
flowering 2-3 weeks earlier than 15 years
ago despite temperature blips that
can occur.
In gardens, birds still come to feeders and
baths and mixed flocks pass through of
blue, great and long-tailed tits, chaffinches
and goldcrests. Dunnocks, blackbirds and
robins are already paired up and will soon
be nestbuilding. Nestboxes are being
inspected. With winter passing, willow
tits no longer come to the feeders in our
garden, but songthrushes are making
intermittent visits when not driven off by
blackbirds. From February bank voles
too have been appearing here. They are
active the year round but are more visible
in spring and summer with nests to build
and young to feed. The first frogs and
spawn suddenly appeared here on
7th March, so things are looking up.
Walking by the Canch in Worksop in early
January, I caught a glimpse of a kingfisher
flashing across the water and off round
a bend upstream. Another brief sighting
was on the upper lake at Langold in
February. A glimpse is all most of us get
of this beautifully coloured bird, but now
and then, with luck, you can see one
perched on a branch overhanging water.
Many people think kingfishers are rare,
but they are surprisingly frequent,
perched near water or flying over canals,
lakes, rivers and larger ponds. They are
secretive, however, with a fast flight,
which is why a flash of blue and orange
is all most of us get to see.
Kingfisher, by Richard Rogers
The lakes at Langold are noisy and
bustling in the early year with all the
common ducks, geese, grebes and gulls.
At Idle Valley you can also see flocks of
shelduck, wigeon, teal, goldeneyes and
the occasional little egret. One late
afternoon in February in fields between
Rayton Angle and Carlton Forest Farm
I saw flocks of fieldfares that must have
numbered at least 100 birds, probably
more. They were no doubt feeding up
in preparation for their journey back to
their breeding grounds in Scandinavia.
They will be replaced soon by our summer
migrants, and by the next Carlton News
in June, early spring flowers will be past
and we shall be into summer.
