2 CHAIRMAN S NOTES Welcome to our Winter Newsletter. The weather has certainly been the talking point of this winter season and the heathland is looking very soggy at the moment. Let s hope that the ground will hold some moisture and this will of benefit if the year turns out to be a dry one. Our new Activities Programme is shown in this Newsletter and I look forward to seeing you on many of these which I hope that you find interesting. The Nightjar Walk is always popular and let s hope that we will be lucky again this year. This year we will be surveying Red House Common as part of our rotation in the surveys. Next year 2017, we want to try to do a whole common survey and would welcome more help with the surveys. Please do offer your help if you can so that we can make a good job of it let me know your particular interest and join us. This Newsletter gives Notice of our Annual General Meeting in March so I look forward to seeing you there. William What s coming up...

5 THE SCARLET CATERPILLAR CLUB FUNGUS Walking over Pound Common early one morning in October I saw a man lying face down. I went over to investigate, thinking he must have fallen or collapsed. In fact he was trying to photograph an unusual bright orange-red fungus, one that I'd never come across before and which is described as an "uncommon" find. It turned out to be a specimen of Cordyceps militaris - the Scarlet Caterpillarclub Fungus. About 3cm high and club shaped with a textured surface it is an extraordinary fungus. Records of Cordyceps fungi in China during the Tang Dynasty apparently describe an organism with the ability to transform from animal to plant during the summer and then to change back to an animal for the winter. The latter part of the description is quite fanciful but it is the case that the fungus parasitises its host - the underground pupae, and occasionally larvae of moths - the mycelium gradually replacing the insides of the insect. The Latin epithet militaris referring to the way this fungus attacks, overpowers and occupies its host. Despite its bright colouring, Scarlet Caterpillarclub is difficult to spot because the "clubs" are usually much shorter than the grass that it's found in. Although its season is described as 'summer and autumn' I've since found several more examples, on both Pound Common and Romany Ridge, some as recently as mid-january. ARCHIVES Linda Ball writes: The Society is delighted to receive an important deposit of historical material and meteorological records compiled by (the late) Cyril G McG Williams. Mr Williams lived in Barn Cottage at the Mill House and for many years was closely associated with the preservation of the windmill. His interest in the Commons extended to military history as well as recording daily weather meteorological observations. The donated material includes more than 15 years of continuous met. Page 5
6 records, as well as notes and correspondence relating to personal research associated with the Commons WW2 searchlight and the Orlit Lookout Post dating from the Cold War period. The Royal Observer Corps Lookout Post Alpha 4 on Red House Common 200 m NE of Chailey Windmill near the Trig point at GR TQ was known as an Elevated Orlit Post, WW2. It was originally the 2/A4 Newick Post and was re-sited near the Trig point when the Aircraft reporting network was overhauled in the 1950s. The wartime Post at Newick had disappeared or its site had become unavailable so this new site on Red House Common was chosen. The new post was constructed in August When the aircraft-reporting role was superseded by the nuclear role the underground monitoring Post was re-sited yet again. This was when the Cold War was at its height. In the photo the windmill can be seen in the background. You may have come across the remains of the Searchlight on Memorial Common within 100 metres of the south-east boundary fence of the sports field. To the east in the woodland area are the well-preserved chevron fox holes adjacent to foundations of a hut, water supply piping and cistern. (See map). Cyril Williams established that the Searchlight post was manned by 338 Battery, and the detailed correspondence he has gathered provides important insights into Searchlights role and operation. The two Photographs below show the detail of the sites on Memorial Common. The third set of material, daily rainfall and barometer readings taken at The Barn from make fascinating reading. Analysis could provide some important indicators of changes in weather patterns and climate during this period. We will write up Cyril s historical data and add it to the existing display at the windmill on the Commons military history. Later this year we will deposit all the material in the Society s archive at The Keep at Falmer (formerly East Sussex Record Office). 30 Jan Page 6

8 REPORT FROM THE RANGER This season, we are not grazing the sheep on Red House Common but a group of Exmoor ponies continue their good work munching on the gorse and preventing scrub from taking over. We are planning to leave a small number of ponies on Red House over the summer too as this common has not had any summer grazing since the grazing began. Unfortunately, we have had to remove the rare Soay sheep from Lane End as 2 have now been killed by out of control dogs, despite all the warnings and signage on site. It is likely we will go back to using the ponies there next winter. The HLS winter clearance works are continuing apace but the clearance will probably seem less drastic than last year. We have 4 compartments to manage this season. One is on Pound Common south-west of the car park, where we have cleared a large proportion of small diameter birch scrub and opened up some of the small ponds. Another is on Romany Ridge, west of the wide grassy ride where the birch regrowth is being cleared to allow the lovely large patches of heather to thrive. There are also 2 areas on Red House common which are being worked on. One east of St Georges where we have thinned out the trees and given much better access to the trig point which was impossible to spot from the paths and the other adjacent to Neals Farm where some trees have been thinned to open up the habitat. We have left belts of mature trees and gorse (unless it was very leggy) to help create a good mosaic of different habitats across the commons. We do not have enough funding for any scrapes this year but I am looking into whether we can tap into any additional funding sources for these works next season. This will help to create more bare ground which is important for invertebrates and is also a good base to sow heather seed into. Don t forget your wellies if you go out on the commons at the moment, it s very soggy out there!
