  • Reptile Checklist for Leicestershire and Rutland
    Reptile Checklist for Leicestershire and Rutland Compiled in 2016 by Andrew Heaton, County Recorder for Amphibians and Reptiles in Vice-County 55 (Leicestershire & Rutland) R1. Slow-worm Anguis fragilis Native. Uncommon, with few scattered records in Charnwood, West Leicestershire and Rutland (the main concentration, if any, being Charnwood Forest). This legless lizard, being rather elusive, may possibly be under- recorded rather than rare – elsewhere around the Midlands, it is frequently found in urban areas (gardens and allotments). There may have been a decline since recording began. RDB species. Slow-worm (Anguis fragilis) Viviparous Lizard (Lacerta vivipara) 5 5 4 4 3 3 2 2 1 1 SK TF SK TF 9 9 8 8 7 7 SP 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 TL 1 SP 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 TL 1 R2. Common Lizard Zootoca vivipara Native. Uncommon; records are concentrated in the heathy habitats of Charnwood Forest and the Moira area of North West Leicestershire, and in the drier habitats of East Rutland. Elsewhere, they are rather scarce, but, pleasingly, new sites seem to keep turning up. Confirmation of the presence of lizards outside Charnwood Forest was only made in comparatively recent years (since the 1960s). RDB species. R3 Sand Lizard Lacerta agilis Native to Britain (but probably not in Leicestershire). Native to heaths and sand dunes in south-central England. Reported in the Victoria County History of Leicestershire (1907), as formerly present, in the 1840s, (in Charnwood?), though rare. There is no firm evidence for this (and the VCH author appears sceptical).

One day it’s like summer, and then the next it’s back to winter again. Flowers are convinced that spring is here: banks of violets Weather, 5 are appearing, both blue and white, with celandines, primroses, speedwell and Amphibians and reptiles, 5 even wood anemones showing their faces to the sun – and wind and rain – creating a colourful carpet in woodland. The first chiff-chaff has arrived. Hares have also Birds, 6 decided that it’s time to get together again, boxing parties being seen from the end Botany, 10 of February, and where hares have been remarkably scarce, groups of up to 11 in one field have appeared.

  • Conserving Warwickshire's Geological Heritage
    Conserving Warwickshire’s Geological Heritage In this issue: Glaciers Corley rocks Charnwood fossils Indonesia - flora & fauna Calicoles Newsletter Spring 2011 Issue Number 21 Caer Caradoc Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group News - Spring 2011 - Issue number 21 2 Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group News - Spring 2011 - Issue number 21 3 Chair’s Report March 2011 As I write, the work has begun at last in completing our submission to the Charity Commission for charity status for the Group. As you will know, big changes have had to be made in our governing documents, largely to accommodate the legacy left to the Group by Rob Holloway. One other aspect of Rob’s generosity was his massive collection of rocks. Jon Radley and I have been working our way through this to produce a manageable collection for the Group, but also to offer to schools and colleges to assist with their teaching. Should you be aware of any teaching institutions at whatever level that might benefit from such a rock collection, please let me know. I remarked in the last Newsletter that the conservation work on the Kenilworth cutting exposure had made good progress during the early part of last summer. However, this is a project where we can’t work at our own pace. It forms part of a much larger Sustrans cycle route scheme where many partners are involved – the County Council, ecology groups, community groups as well as Sustrans. Each have their priorities, not least financial, and so, inevitably, progress can be slow. Nevertheless, the County have recently cut down some of the small trees which obscured the geology and this should allow us to move back on to the site once the various protected animals are ‘on the move’.

  • The Rove Beetles of Leicestershire and Rutland
    LEICESTERSHIRE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Rove Beetles (Staphylinidae) of Leicestershire and Rutland Part 1: Sub-families Paederinae, Pseudopsinae and Staphylininae Derek A. Lott Creophilus maxillosus (Graham Calow) LESOPS 24 (2011) ISSN 0957 – 1019 Correspondence: 5 Welland Road, Barrow upon Soar, LE12 8NA VC55 Staphylinids Part 1 2 Introduction With over 56,000 described species in the world, the Staphylinidae are the largest family in the animal kingdom (Grebennikov & Newton, 2009). Around a quarter of the British beetles are rove beetles, so they represent an important component of biodiversity in Britain. However, because of perceived difficulties in their identification, they have not received the attention that they merit. This paper aims to play a part in redressing that imbalance by listing all reliable records from Leicestershire and Rutland for the different species and analysing which species have declined locally over 100 years of recording rove beetles and which have prospered. The subfamilies treated in this first part include the largest and most conspicuous species in the family. The geographical area covered is the vice county of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55). Some records from adjacent banks of the River Soar that technically lie in Nottinghamshire are also included. These records can be distinguished by the use of Nottinghamshire parish names. Identification Staphylinidae can be easily recognised among beetles in the field by their short wing cases that leave five or six segments of the abdomen exposed and flexible. In fact they look more like earwigs than other beetles. For identification to species, all the members of the subfamilies in this part will be covered by the forthcoming Royal Entomological Society handbook to Staphylinidae parts 6 and 7 due for publication in 2011.
