More interest today came firstly in the shape of a male Pintail which spent most of the time hiding elusively at the top end of the Marsh, only occasionally coming into view. At 2.50 p.m. a cream crowned Marsh Harrier flew over, coming in from the east, and disappearing over Siden Hill Wood to the south-west. A good supporting cast included three Oystercatchers, four Shelduck, five Common Gulls, a female Goosander and a Little Egret whilst singing or calling birds of a little more interest, included a drumming Great Spotted Woodpecker by the river arches and five singing Song Thrushes.

There was still some water at Patrick Bridge following heavy rain on Thursday, with a few of wildfowl feeding there.

An unlucky Lapwing (or possibly an Oystercatcher) had been taken by a Peregrine at first light and the large female was feeding on the bird on one of the islands on Railway Pool. There were also a pair of Goosander there and a pair of Shelduck and certainly two and possibly four Oystercatchers were commuting between the pools and the surrounding fields where they were feeding.

A Raven was in display flight over the Berkswell Woods south east of the Reserve mid-afternoon and other corvids included 43 Jackdaws, four Crows and a Rook feeding on the flood plain and further Jackdaws at the feeders.

A Woodcock was accidentally flushed from Siden Hill Wood early this afternoon just to the south of Tower Hide. A Peregrine went over and two male Mute Swans were quite literally fighting to the death on Car Park Pool. The winner almost drowned the other bird before it just managed to get up onto the island, looking in a pretty sorry state. The two females and theBlack Swan were in noisy and agitated attendance.

Other birds today were a female Goosander on Railway Pool, two Shelduck, 18 Redwing in the tip field and about 60 Lapwings.

– sunny, mild, light westerly, temperatures up to 8.5 degrees centigrade.

In pleasantly mild conditions today with temperatures up to 8.5 degrees centigrade, there were a lot of insects in swarms in the stiller places (albeit, that the mild westerly wind was pretty light) but clearly enough had moved upwards up into the sky as Black-heads were hawking insects for much of the midday/early afternoon period. Despite the milder weather however, there is still a surprising amount of ice on the pools.

Today’s new arrival was a Little Egret which spent much of the day roosting on the far bank of Car Park Pool in amongst the feeding Wigeon and Geese.

A different Oystercatcher to that of the 6th was feeding on the bank of Car Park Pool and there were three Shelducks on Railway Pool. Two adult Greater Black-backs went over to the north-west at 10.30am, with 23 other large Gulls. The Barnacle Goose was again on Car Park Pool and later on the flood plain and in the mild conditions there was a reasonable amount of bird song with Goldcrests singing in the back gate copse and by the Aeromodellers (where there was also a singing Song Thrush), plenty of Great Tit song and a Goldfinch sang opposite the back gate.

A Great Spotted Woodpecker drummed briefly by the south-west pond and a Skylark sang briefly over the crop field.

At least 12 Redwings, two Fieldfares and 11 Starlings were feeding on the Tip Field and over a 100 Redwings, 10 Fieldfares and 20 Starlings fed just east of the A452.

10 attended the work party. Two cleared out the nest boxes on the east side, two did some of those on the west side. Four dug up the young Oak saplings on the bank between Oak Hide and Railway Pool for transplanting (though the tap roots were so deep they were difficult to get out). With Chris Laight’s tractor and chipper the Coppice Willow branches were chipped by Railway Hyde. Thanks to all those who attended.

6th February 2015

– sunny after a frosty start, northeasterly.

Two pairs of Goosanders were on Car Park Pool this morning along with an Oystercatcherwhich flew south at 8.45am, probably to feed on the Golf Course.

There was also a single Meadow Pipit around the car park.

4th February 2015

– sunny, light northerly after frost.

Firstly, details of two colour ringed Gulls have been helpfully supplied by John Oates. In both cases the information has been quick to come back. A colour ringed Common Gull seen this morning (white, X45P), a first-winter, was ringed in Saxony, Germany on the 17th June 2014; and secondly a colour Ringed Lesser Black-back seen at Marsh Lane on the 2nd February, was initially ringed at Gloucester Landfill Site on the 22nd May 2010. It remained in the Gloucestershire area through until July 2011, after which it went missing until February 2012 when it was seen at Shawell landfill site in Leicestershire. Subsequently it has again gone missing until it was seen at Marsh Lane this February.

Otherwise, the Barnacle Goose was again on the flood plain and a Jack Snipe (sadly reclusive this year) was in the Marsh. Along with the colour ringed Common Gull there were a further 19 birds as well as at least 10 Herring Gulls, 10 Lesser Black-back’s and a Great Black-back Gull.

There was a Little Grebe on Railway Pool, five Redwings and a Song Thrush on the tip field and 15 Fieldfares (the last by Car Park Hide) and three Rooks on the flood plain. A foxshowed well on the Old Road in the late afternoon.

– Cold northerly, mostly sunny.

A Kingfisher flew south along the river from Car Park Hide in the morning and presumably the same bird flew across Car Park Pool towards the Dragonfly Pool in the mid afternoon. 26 Snipewere feeding on the grass to the left of Car Park Hide and the Barnacle Goose was again amongst the Canadas on the floodplain. At least 1100 Wood Pigeons were perched up in the top of Siden Hill Wood. 18 Redwings were feeding on the tip field, there was a Kestrel up on the Concrete Road, a Buzzard on the Old Road and female Bullfinch on the car park feeders.

In the afternoon the years first Green Sandpiper was recorded as was a Water Rail, unfortunately with no location given.

2nd February 2015

– Cold and mostly overcast, northerly wind.

The Barnacle Goose was again with the Canadas on the floodplain. Snipe totals comprised 20 in the Marsh and 25 south over the car park. Large Gulls either on the pools or flying over included 40 Lesser Black-backs, 15 Herring Gulls, a juvenile Greater Black-backed Gulland 15 Common Gulls. An immature Peregrine and a male Kestrel were the principle raptors and there was also a Raven over. Three Fieldfares flew south and there were twoMistle Thrushes on the Old Road and a Meadow Pipit by the car park.

There were 16 Snipe in the Marsh, two Shelducks on Railway Pool, seven Fieldfare, aMistle Thrush and seven Redwings on the floodplain.

Slide 1

Packington Estate ESG Policy 2025

Developing and maintaining an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy for a country estate involves considering various unique contexts, including historical aspects as well as the cultural significance of such properties, and their custodianship; past, present, and future, to preserve these locations for future generations to come, across all the three aspects of such an initiative.

Packington Estate has four overarching pillars that drive the spirit and principles of the Estate and provide the building blocks for all the Estate’s businesses, operations and projects. These four pillars are Stewardship, Sustainability, Wellbeing and Restoration.

The Estate is in a transitional phase moving away from more traditional, methodologies of Estate management to a progressive strategy, in line with current business practises and procedures. Much of the Estate is undergoing such an evolution to more sustainable operations. This covers every venture and project, from Estate stewardship all the way through to the Board Room.

Packington’s ESG policy is bolstered by its actionable and tangible achievements, framed and guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (the SDGs or Global Goals). We all know that big global challenges need bold action, from every corner. This initiative was unanimously voted into being by all of the 197 member Nations of the United Nations, and this was formalised with an Act named Resolution Agenda 30, to build a greener, fairer, better world by 2030 and everyone has a role to play in helping achieve these Global Goals. Packington Estate is utilising the SDGs across the Estate as a guideline to set out its pathway for all future prospects and developing over time, an equitable, sustainable, biodiverse, conscientious, and healthy future.

Slide 2

Environmental (E) Considerations

Environmentally-friendly Land Management: Packington has implemented sustainable land management practices that prioritise biodiversity, soil health, and water conservation. This shall involve rewilding certain areas, planting native vegetation, and avoiding the use of harmful pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers on its Regenerative Farms and within the Gardens, with the aim of reducing the use of artificial products across the wider Estate.

1) Renewable Energy Integration: Explore the potential opportunities for on-site renewable energy sources, such as heat source, solar power, biomass and wind turbines. This can reduce the Estate's carbon footprint and enhance energy resilience. The opportunity for the establishment of an Energy Park within the Estate is currently being explored.

2) Historical Preservation: Develop a plan for the maintenance, conservation and sympathetic restoration of the historical buildings, such as the Hall, Church and Stables, as well as landscapes, combining modern, environmental practices with preservation efforts to ensure the legacy and longevity of the Estate.

3) Tree Planting Schemes: Packington is committed to soil and tree health, and as such has an extensive tree planting scheme planned across the Estate, with up to 10,000 trees currently planned for planting.

Slide 3

Social (S) Initiatives

1) Community Engagement: The Estate is fostering relationships with local communities by providing access to parts of the Estate to the use and organising community events such as craft workshops, carol services, fun runs, dog trials and open garden days. Alongside this, the Estate has developed an approved suppliers’ process and collaboration with local businesses, partners and charities, in support of local community businesses.

2) Educational Programs: The Estate intends to establish educational programs and workshops for both children and adults along with guided tours to showcase the Estate's history, conservation efforts, and sustainable practices. The Estate wants to raise awareness and share knowledge with our visitors and the wider community.

3) Cultural Heritage Preservation: Promote the preservation of cultural heritage, including historical artifacts, archives, and traditions of the Estate. Engage with local historians and cultural experts to ensure authenticity and respect for the Estate's historic and future legacy.

Slide 4

Governance (G) Strategies

1) Transparency and Accountability: The Estate emphasises transparency in its operations, governance structures, and decision-making processes. The Estate shall regularly review its ESG initiatives and performance in order to build trust and confidence, including the update of this Policy document.

2) Compliance with Heritage Regulations: The Estate shall ensure compliance with heritage and conservation regulations and Acts to protect the Estate's historical significance while aligning with modern sustainability standards.

3) Stakeholder Inclusivity: By involving local communities, team members, and other stakeholders in decision-making processes related to the Estate’s development, thereby creating an accountable and inclusive process for all.

Slide 5

Preservation of Natural and Historic Assets

1) Wildlife Conservation: The Estate shall implement measures to protect and enhance biodiversity within the Estate. This shall include habitat restoration and tree planting, development of the Estate’s Nature Reserve, wildlife corridors, and the creation of biodiverse, environmental areas, such as the Estate’s Rewilding project.
2) Historic Garden Preservation: The Estate shall maintain and, where appropriate, restore historic gardens using sustainable practices, such as within the Walled Gardens. The Estate shall utilise organic and sustainable gardening methods as far as possible and involve local communities in garden-related events and activities.

Heritage Tourism and Economic Diversification

1) Tourism Development: Strategically develop tourism initiatives that highlight the Estate's cultural and environmental assets. This can contribute to the wider and more local economies while raising awareness about sustainable practices. These initiatives involve EcoTourism within the Rewilding and Nature Reserve areas with potential for overnight accommodation, as well as daytime activities and events within the Parkland of the Estate.
2) Diversification of Income Streams: Explore further opportunities for sustainable and regenerative agriculture, as is already on-going, renewable energy projects, such as Somers Country Park, and hosting events that align with the Estate's four Pillars and the Estate’s historical and environmental values.

Team Well-being

1) Training: Provide training opportunity and programs for the Estate team
2) Health and Safety Measures: Implement health and safety measures to ensure the ongoing well-being of team members, contractors and visitors.

Slide 7

Monitoring and Enforcement

1) We shall use our best endeavours to proactively prevent and mitigate instances of non-compliance with our ESG policy. Any concerns or concerns of potential breaches, including ethical concerns in our commitment to high ethical standards, should be reported as soon as possible to your Line Manager or the Business Owners. Progress on this policy shall be reported to the Board on a regular basis. Active participation and engagement at all levels of the business is of great importance to ensure ownership of our ESG by all our teams. At the very least, we endeavour to maintain compliance with all legislative requirements.

We tailor our ESG strategy to the specific constitution and values of the Packington Estate, which is essential. Our regular monitoring and adaptation of strategies based on feedback, changing circumstances, and evolving ESG standards will contribute to the long-term success of the Estate as a sustainable and socially responsible entity.

So by adhering to this Policy, we aim to mould and create a significant enterprise, one that reflects the diversity of our rural community and promotes fairness, equality, and mutual respect.
