September 2000
The sea had churned up the sand at Kingston Beach, where the fauna was exiguous, but notably an absense of large prawns. Adult Corkwing Wrasse (one), large first year Corkwing (only one caught in an upper pool underneath a groyne) but more would be present, largish 5-Bearded Rockling (one was 16 cm in an upper pool), Bullheads (in the upper pool to 95 mm) and small Rock Gobies were very frequently discovered under rocks.

Another
one of these attractive moths was seen in Dave Mason's front garden just
north of Shoreham railway station.

Fungi
(especially the large mushrooms, large enough for eating) needs more precise
identification than most of the wild plants and animals. Test your identification
by the clear and colourful photographs on Ray Hambletts:

CORRECTIONS TO PREVIOUS BULLETINS
I got into a muddle with one of the blue butterflies, but this put all the others in doubt. The following corrections to the Adur Valley Torpedo Bulletin are in order:
Identification Corrections:
AVB40
Adonis
Blue Butterfly not the Common Blue.

August 2000
A
flinty path leads from the top of Upper Kingston Lane to Southwick Hill
under which the main A27 road burrows a large tunnel which is hardly noticeable
from the vantage point 121 metres above sea level. A Comma Butterfly flitted
amongst the heather and nettles on the way up. A few Clouded Yellow
Butterflies would not settle, and a handful of Adonis
Blues settled.

The
Common
(or Viviparous) Lizard,
Zootoca vivipara,
(not the
European
Wall Lizard, Podarcis muralis, as it was originally identified as)
poked
its
head out of flint wall in which a sprig of Bittersweet was growing, on
the Old
Fort,
Shoreham Beach. *

Computer Tips
The upsurge of EFora
on all subjects (a
few have been recommended before in these bulletins) are an important way
in which the Internet
will change the world.
A list of recommended eFora
will appear soon. Please make any suggestions.
Poem of the Week
Pebbles on the Shore
Beach
is calm, pebbles still,
Along
comes the tide ready to kill.
Rumble,
tumble clash together,
Now
the stones have gone forever.
The
stones have now turned into sand,
And
are now back on the land.
ADUR VALLEY EFORUM PAGE |
2 August
2000
The
Adur
Valley eForum covering all aspects of life in the Adur Valley commences.
You can join by spending a few minutes on the following site, and then
you can post messages on almost anything about life in Shoreham-by-sea
and the Adur Valley, including, Lancing, Sompting, Southwick, Steyning
and the smaller villages in the valley.
THE BEST WAY TO JOIN THE
is to click on the link to the
logo, and register as a new member. Allow 10 minutes on-line, but the process should be much quicker.
Then you can go to the Adur Valley page and register to join.
The following choices will have to be made:
1) Receive mail in a daily bulletin.
2) Receive each EMail individually (this may result in too many EMails)
3)
Choose not to receive EMails, which means you can visit the web page to
choose what subjects look interesting. You can, also, just receive a list
of the subjects in a daily digest.
If
the latter applies, you will have to click on the menu item Messages.
These choices can be altered at a later date. They can also be altered by me, if you cannot work out how to do it.

- The Belgae [German stock] crossed over from the Continent in the first half of 1 BC. They introduced a heavy plough known as the "ard" and together with the use of iron tools, agriculture production and landscape alteration of the downs was extensive.
Historical Snippets
By AD 44, this part of Sussex was ruled by Coggidumnus (probably a Roman invited by the warring Belgic tribes) at the time of the Roman invasion.
