This report provides a snap shot of the species that were present at the tiMe of the survey only and does not consider seasonal variation. FurtherMore, where access is liMited or the site supports habitats which are densely vegetated only doMinant species Maybe recorded. The recoMMendations contained within this docuMent are based on a reasonable tiMefraMe between the coMpletion of the survey and the coMMenceMent of any works. If there is any delay between the coMmencement of works that may conflict with tiMefraMes laid out within this docuMent, or have the potential to allow the ingress of protected species, a suitably qualified ecologist should be consulted. It is the duty of care of the landowner/developer to act responsibly and coMply with current environMental legislation if protected species are suspected or found prior to or during works. The Ecology Partnership Ltd 2 Barnsclose Quarry - Invertebrate Survey 2017 1.0 Introduction Background 1.1 The Ecology Partnership Ltd were coMMissioned to undertake an invertebrate survey on land at Barnsclose Quarry, Leigh-upon-Mendip, SoMerset to ascertain the baseline asseMblage of invertebrate species within the site boundary. 1.2 The Ecology Partnership had undertaken previous ecological surveys in April 2017, which highlighted the potential for the site to support a rich asseMblage of invertebrate species. The extent of the site and survey area is shown in appendix 1. 1.3 This report presents the results of the surveys in and around the site, which aiMs specifically to deterMine the baseline levels of invertebrate activity within the site. 1.4 Section 2 of this report sets out the Methodologies of the surveys. In section 3 the results of the surveys are presented. Discussions and iMplications for developMent are found in section 4. Section 5 presents the conclusions drawn froM the report. 2.0 Methodology 2.1 Terrestrial surveys of the site for invertebrates were carried out at the site with 4 survey visits being carried out on 8h, 15th, 19th June and 15th August 2017. All surveys were conducted by Dr Jonty Denton FRES FLS CEcol MCIEEM. Standard field techniques were eMployed to sample the invertebrate fauna across the site. 2.2 Because it is iMpracticable to survey all the potential invertebrates within any given site, only specific groups of species were examined during fieldwork. These groups are sufficiently well known as to allow Meaningful coMparisons to be Made with other sites, both locally and nationally. They are also iMportant as indicators of the quality of a site and the habitats present (Brooks, 1993). The Ecology Partnership Ltd 3 Barnsclose Quarry - Invertebrate Survey 2017 2.3 This survey focused on the Nationally reviewed invertebrate groups, which have had status classifications assigned to each species based on the current and historic distributions (Ball, 1994). Groups covered during the survey were; • Mollusca (slugs and snails) • Arachnida (spiders, harvestMen and pseudoscorpions) • Isopoda (woodlice) • Thysanura (bristletails) • EpheMeroptera (mayflies) • Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) • Plecoptera (stoneflies) • Orthoptera (grasshoppers and crickets • Dictyoptera (cockroaches) • DerMaptera (earwigs) • HeMiptera-Heteroptera (true-bugs) • HeMiptera-HoMoptera (hoppers) • Neuroptera (lace-wings) • Mecoptera (scorpion-flies) • Lepidoptera (butterflies and Moths) • Trichoptera (caddis flies) • Diptera (true flies) • Aculeate HyMenoptera (ants, bees and wasps) • Coleoptera (beetles) 2.4 In addition soMe species froM other less well known groups which have yet to have official statuses assigned to theM were identified. These included, Parasitic HyMenoptera. The Main eMphasis of the survey was to find as Many rare and notable species as possible within the reviewed groups. The survey area is shown below in figure 1. 2.5 All the terrestrial and arboreal habitat types present across the survey areas were saMpled, using a variety of sampling Methods. This covered the Main activity period for all the invertebrate groups studied. The Methods eMployed included standard techniques of sweeping grasses, rushes, sedges, herbs and foliage, beating the foliage, and branches of The Ecology Partnership Ltd 4 Barnsclose Quarry - Invertebrate Survey 2017 trees and bushes, especially blossoM bearing plants such as Hawthorn, Rowan, Sloe over a beating tray (Kirby, 1992). Figure 1. Survey Boundary 3.0 ResuLts 3.1 In total 160 taxa were recorded; the full species list is shown in appendix 1. Rare and Notable Species Arachnida (Spiders) 3.2 Liocranidae (Liocranum rubicolA) – Nationally Scarce B – A large terrestrial spider, found under stone in old quarries, cracks in cliffs and dry stone walls. There are county records of this species for Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Cheshire. There are only four records of this species in SoMerset in the Spider Recording ScheMe database. This is only the second record for the species in SoMerset since 1992. This The Ecology Partnership Ltd 5 Barnsclose Quarry - Invertebrate Survey 2017 species was found to be present within an old Thrush nest situated on an abandoned ceMent lorry adjacent to the works coMpound at the centre of the site. Dermaptera (Earwigs) 3.3 Lesne’s Earwig (ForficulA lesnei) - Nationally Scarce B - A very local species restricted to southern England and Wales. It occurs on open warM sunny hedgerows and woodland edges. Coleoptera (Beetles) 3.4 ChrysoMelidae – LongitArsus Fowleri – Nationally Scarce A. A brown leaf beetle associated with teasel in open disturbed grasslands, quarries etc. The presence of this beetle is given away by the shot holes it leaves after eating the host plant. Local but increasing. Figure 2. Species LocAtions The Ecology Partnership Ltd 6 Barnsclose Quarry - Invertebrate Survey 2017 Habitat Quality – ISIS 3.5 ISIS is a coMputer spreadsheet application for recognising invertebrate asseMblage types in species lists collected at scales ranging froM ManageMent coMpartMents to landscape character area. 3.6 The asseMblage types are labelled in terMs that relate to their favoured habitats in order to Make theM accessible to non-specialists. However, they are actually defined by lists of characteristic species that are generally found together in nature. Two levels are recognised in the classification. Broad asseMblage types (BATs) are a coMprehensive series of asseMblage types that are characterised by More widespread species. They can be expressed in lists froM a wide range of sites. 3.7 Specific asseMblage types (SATs) are characterised by ecologically restricted species and are generally only expressed in lists froM sites with conservation value. Since 2008 there has also been a third category of asseMblage types that cut across this classification. They are Mainly defined by lists of species dependent on a particular environMental resource, such as flowers as a source of pollen and nectar. The asseMblage type classification is given below. Textual descriptions of each asseMblage type and its habitats have been prepared for incorporation into a web-based database. 3.8 For any set of samples, ISIS scores each recognised asseMblage type for representation and conservation value. Target group, sampling effort or seasonal factors can influence soMe of the scoring systeMs used in ISIS. If the results are to be used in CoMMon Standards Monitoring (CSM), it is therefore necessary to follow standard sampling protocols, in order to coMpare asseMblages. Table 1.

  • (Other Than Moths) Attracted to Light
    Insects (other than moths) attracted to light Prepared by Martin Harvey for BENHS workshop on 9 December 2017 Although light-traps go hand-in-hand with catching and recording moths, a surprisingly wide range of other insects can be attracted to light and appear in light-traps on a regular or occasional basis. The lists below show insects recorded from light-traps of various kinds, mostly from southern central England but with some additions from elsewhere in Britain, and based on my records from the early 1990s to date. Nearly all are my own records, plus a few of species that I have identified for other moth recorders. The dataset includes 2,446 records of 615 species. (See the final page of this document for a comparison with another list from Andy Musgrove.) This isn’t a rigorous survey: it represents those species that I have identified and recorded in a fairly ad hoc way over the years. I record insects in light-traps fairly regularly, but there are of course biases based on my taxonomic interests and abilities. Some groups that come to light regularly are not well-represented on this list, e.g. chironomid midges are missing despite their frequent abundance in light traps, Dung beetle Aphodius rufipes there are few parasitic wasps, and some other groups such as muscid © Udo Schmidt flies and water bugs are also under-represented. It’s possible there are errors in this list, e.g. where light-trapping has been erroneously recorded as a method for species found by day. I’ve removed the errors that I’ve found, but I might not yet have found all of them.

  • INVERTEBRATES 1. Introduction This Appendix Reports
    RAYMOND BROWN EXTENSION TO BRICKWORTH QUARRY MINERALS AND RECYCLING LTD ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ APPENDIX 4: INVERTEBRATES 1. Introduction 1.1.1 This appendix reports the findings of an invertebrate survey carried out on the proposed extension areas to Brickworth Quarry. Survey was undertaken in 2015 by Dr Peter Kirby and Christopher Kirby Lambert MBiol. Both are experienced invertebrate surveyors. 1.1.2 The proposed extension includes two separate areas immediately adjacent to, and separated by, the active workings. These areas are Church and Lowdens Copse (Area A) to the east of the quarry area and Gooseye and Sandland Copse (Area B) to the west. Both areas consist of a complex of habitats including remnants of ancient woodland, rides and tracks, damp areas, conifer plantation, grass fields and other relatively open habitat. Whilst relatively diverse, all of the habitats present are greatly compromised by modification. The majority of the survey area consists of conifer plantation on land previously occupied by ancient woodland. The plantation areas have been variously managed and in places there are remnants of ancient broadleaved woodland, a habitat that would once have been predominant on the site. In addition to the more extensive areas of broadleaved remnant there are scattered broadleaved trees throughout the site as well as large hazel dominated hedgerows marking boundaries. As would be expected from a site dominated by conifer plantations most of the site was under closed canopy woodland or otherwise heavily shaded. 1.1.3 A system of rides and tracks criss-cross the site and provide somewhat more open habitats but these are generally still narrow, shaded and support species poor vegetation.

  • Bainton Heath – Invertebrate Survey 2011
    Bainton Heath Invertebrate Survey 2011 P. Kirby report to the Wildlife Trust & The Langdyke Trust November 2011 Contents Introduction 1 Methods 2 Target groups 5 Nomenclature 6 Statuses 7 Timetable of work 10 Constraints and limitations of survey 10 Results 11 Assessment of the invertebrate fauna 17 Management suggestions 22 References 24 Appendix 1. Complete list of recorded species 27 Introduction The greater part of the area known as Bainton Heath has developed on tipped fly ash. The very free-draining ground which results is unusual for the Peterborough area, and developed a characteristic flora which, because of difficult growing conditions and rabbit pressure, was subject to very slow successional change. By 2011, however, the effects of succession have become very visible and a cause for concern. Very open conditions, with bare ground and a wide mix of low-growing herbs were formerly extensive, but are now restricted to relatively small pockets of high rabbit activity. A large area is occupied by floristically poor grassland dominated by wood small-reed Calamagrostis epigeios, and scrub, dominated by hawthorn, bramble and rose, is widespread and in places dense, especially towards the edges of the tip. Invertebrate survey was commissioned by the Langdyke Trust in 2011 to inform management of the site. The 2011 survey area includes only the northern part of the former fly-ash tip, but extends into peripheral habitats. A strip of land along the northern side contains plantation woodland, two pools, and scrub and rough grassland on “native” substrate, and there are planted trees – especially conifers – along the bank which forms the edge of the tip to the east.

  • Pollinator Survey Report Year 2
    January 2016 Gabrielle Flinn and Suzanne Burgess Saving the small things that run the planet Summary Over the three year project, Fife’s Buzzing is creating wildflower meadows at 16 parks totalling over 12 hectares across Fife. Sites have been selected across the Kingdom of Fife to deliver multiple benefits to both wildlife and people. The creation and enhancement of meadows through this project includes planting a range of native wildflower species of known origin that will provide vital foraging habitat for pollinating insects and other wildlife. Surveys to record invertebrates, focusing on pollinating insects, before and after meadow creation will identify species using the meadow as well as changes over the project lifetime. During pollinator surveys in August 2015, a total of thirteen parks, selected for meadow creation and enhancement in autumn 2014 and spring 2015, were surveyed for invertebrates. Ten wildflower-rich grasslands which had been managed or created by Fife’s Buzzing were surveyed: Dunnikier Park, Dunnikier Park Golf Course and Ravenscraig Park in Kirkcaldy; Public Park in Dunfermline; Cotlands Park in Kennoway; Poplar Road in Methil; Riverside Park and Formonthills in Glenrothes; Silver Sands in Aberdour; and Guardbridge Park in Guardbridge. Baseline surveys were also undertaken in the Glenrothes Bumblebee Wood park, Leuchatsbeath Community Woodland, Guardbridge Park and at Woodend Park in Auchterderran. A higher number of species of invertebrate were recorded within areas of wildflower rich-grasslands (101 species) than in areas of amenity grassland during baseline surveys (5 species). A total of 101 invertebrate species were recorded during this survey this total includes 56 species of pollinating insect.
