November in the Forest
The acorns and beech nuts have fallen, birds have eaten the rowan berries and the last blackberries have shrivelled on the bramble bushes. The colour is gradually draining out of the forest but the wild service trees still stand out in the forest like orange flames and holly berries glow among the spiky green leaves.
Male and female fallow deer have gone their separate ways after the rut and most mammals are now making themselves ready for the winter. Badgers will renew the bedding in their underground setts and moles will line their chambers with dry grass and moss, in plentiful times adding a store of worms, decapitated and tied in a knot! (See Fauna Britannica by Stefan Buczacki). Other creatures also make stores of food. Perhaps you may come across a cache of cherry stones belonging to a wood mouse or find acorns buried by a squirrel or jay. For some their food is available all winter and they have to stay active to get it.
One such is the weasel, which follows the paths and tunnels of mice, voles, shrews and to hunt them down. The weasel is the smallest of Britain’s mustelids: the family they share with stoats, polecats, martens and badgers. The Latin generic name – Mustela – comes from ‘mus’ (mouse) and ‘telum’ (javelin), ie a long, thin and fast mouse! An adult is 6 to 8.5 inches long, the males being larger than females. It is a law of physics that a large hot body will retain its heat longer than a small hot body and, being so small, weasels have to eat one third of their body weight every 24 hours to replenish their energy. In a year when their rodent prey have bred successfully they too will flourish. (A bank vole can have four or five litters a year and the young become sexually mature in four to five weeks. I don’t know how well they’ve done this year but I would have thought that anything trying to rear young whether in a nest above ground or a burrow below would have run the risk of being washed out). Weasel mothers have four or five kits in spring but when food is abundant they may have a second litter in July or August.
At this time of year young weasels will be leaving their parents to strike off on their own and you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of these quick little creatures crossing a road or path just ahead of you. Such an encounter would have been thought definitely unlucky in other times and in some other cultures. It’s a pity that these fierce but attractive little animals have such a bad reputation, from the ruthless criminals in ‘The Wind in the Willows’ to the term ‘weasely words’ meaning vague, equivocal or just downright misleading!

Please find attached the latest Flood Summary Sheet for Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and Gloucestershire.
Please note, from 10:00 Saturday 19 October 2024, we will be reverting to updating the Summary Sheet daily from 10:00.
Weather summary: Friday night will see a weak front moving east bringing rain this afternoon. This could be heavy overnight with possible line convection into Saturday morning. Totals from this rain are not forecast to cause any new fluvial flooding impacts, with totals of 5mm average and potential isolated totals of 10-15mm. There are worst case figures of 25mm should rainfall events align. Saturday is set to be dry once the overnight rain has cleared.
Sunday will see a deep low-pressure system move across the patch from West to East that will bring strong winds. However, rainfall totals are again quite low with only minor fluvial impacts currently expected. 5-10mm of rainfall is expected catchment wide with the possibility of 15mm spot totals.
Impacts are expected to be greatest on Southwest facing slopes and 1 or 2 more alerts may be required from this forecast rain on the Teme and Wye.
Fluvial summary: Hayes basin is now full, and levels are rising down the Severn. Levels are steadily dropping on the Team and Wye.
Operational activity:
• Phase 1 and 2 in place in Shrewsbury – Frankwell.
• Phase 1 at Ironbridge is being erected today – this is not going to be sheeted due to forecast levels and high winds on Sunday.
• At Bewdley Severnside phase 1 (Severnside North) is in place, Severn Side South is being deployed now and will be completed today.
• Hylton road pumps are in place in Worcester and Kempsey pumps are operational.
• All Upton gates are closed except Dunns Lane. We are planning to close Dunns lane gate this afternoon, as necessary.
Tides: Tides are rising due to springs with the highest astro tides forecast for Friday evening. There is a chance that Sunday’s tides will also be high due to low pressure and high winds forecast over the weekend. At low tide, levels will recede to below alert thresholds for Gloucester and Sharpness but remain above flood alert level for Haw Bridge and Tewkesbury/The Mythe. Gloucester 3.6-3.9m This evening and 3.8-4.1 tomorrow morning. Sharpness 10.2-10.5 tonight and 9.9-10.3 tomorrow morning.
Many thanks,
Emma Musgrove

AUTHORISED PUSH PAYMENT REFUNDS
First of all, what is an Authorised Push Payment (APP)?
A Push Payment is a payment method where the payer has control of a payment process, including setting the amount paid and the destination for those funds, such as an online bank transfer.
However, APP’s are often used by Scammers to get their victims to transfer monies from their bank account to the account controlled by the fraudsters.
What to do if you have been scammed?
As soon as you realise you have lost money, via an APP scam, notify your bank or payment provider. You can contact most of the major banks fraud departments by calling the short number “159”.
Will your Bank refund you?
If the loss was prior to 7th October 2024, then the case is dealt with under a voluntary reimbursement code and the Banks need to take various steps to protect customers and reimburse those who are not to blame for the scam. This will only apply for transfers between UK Bank accounts.
If the loss was after 7th October 2024, the new APP reimbursement scheme comes into force applying to all bank transfers after that date. This applies to all types of APP fraud including romance and impersonation scams.
• The rules apply to all payment services offering Faster Payments
• The maximum you can claim back is £85,000
• Payment providers may also charge an excess of £100 per claim
There are still responsibilities required of the consumer however including:
• not acting negligently
• following advice from your bank or payment provider
• reporting a scam to the bank or payment provider as soon as possible
• reporting the scam to the police
But beware! Yes, the criminals have already seized on this as a new opportunity and there are already scam emails circulating claiming to come from a major bank; the current emails come from an email address ending in “.fi” which is Finland. They promise to notify you of any transactions on your account straightaway and ask you to verify your mobile phone number.
The clickable link takes you to a fake website with some very convincing logos and then asks you to enter various personal banking details, including passwords and PIN’s.
So as ever, be vigilant, never click on links in suspicious emails and do not be rushed into making any commitments.
Please feel free to share these messages with any vulnerable friends, relatives or neighbours
—————————————————————————————–
Take Five to Stop Fraud
STOP: Taking a moment to stop and think before parting with your money or information could keep you safe.
CHALLENGE: Could it be fake? It’s OK to reject, refuse or ignore any requests. Only criminals will try to rush or panic you.
PROTECT: Contact your bank immediately if you think you’ve fallen for a scam and report it to Action Fraud
ALWAYS REMEMBER:
• Avoid disclosing security details
• Emails, Phone Calls and Texts may not be authentic
• Always make direct contact with any organisation by using a genuine phone number
• Stop and Challenge any unexpected requests
• Protect others by reporting Fraud and Scams
—————————————————————————————————–
If you’ve fallen for a scam,
report it to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or via actionfraud.police.uk
Scam Text messages can be forwarded to 7726 to help phone providers take early action and block numbers that generate spam on their networks. You can also report Scam mobile calls by texting 7726 with the word “Call” followed by the scam caller’s phone number.
Forward Fake Emails received to report@phishing.gov.uk
If you think your bank account or personal banking details have been used fraudulently, then use the short phone number – 159 – to contact the Fraud Prevention Department of most major UK banks
