    Welsh Sand Dunes Amounts to Some 945 Species, with Vascular Plants Representing About 439 of These (Rhind 1999)

    Wales Coastal Ecosystem Group Priority Action Sand Dune Priority Area Sand dunes represent one of the most natural and species-rich habitats in Wales, supporting vast numbers of plants, fungi and invertebrates. The total floristic assemblage for Welsh sand dunes amounts to some 945 species, with vascular plants representing about 439 of these (Rhind 1999). Fungi unexpectedly form the next most important group with approximately 289 species, followed by bryophytes (171 species) and terricolous lichens (66 species). They are also extremely rich in invertebrates (Howe et al. 2010), with 454 species restricted or mostly confined to sand dunes in Wales including 156 beetles, 117 flies, 65 bees & wasps, 50 bugs and 25 spiders. Whilst the largest dune systems inevitably support the largest numbers of species, some of our smaller sites support rare vegetation communities, (Morfa Dinlle and Crymlyn Burrows) or key species. For example, Morfa Conwy supports the only Welsh population of the belted beauty moth Lycia zonaria. It is therefore of considerable concern that sand dunes are now facing many threats to their conservation. For example, most of the Natura 2000 sand dunes features in Wales are now considered to be unfavourable and declining. The following outlines some of the major areas of concern. Major Concerns • Stabilization The dune resource of Wales has changed dramatically over the past 50 years, becoming much more stable with far fewer mobile dunes and embryonic dune slacks. At Newborough Warren, for example, nearly 75% of the total dune area in the 1950s consisted of mobile dunes and embryonic dune slacks with open vegetation.

    TR13 L (Hythe Ranges East and Fisherman's Beach)

    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR13 L (Hythe Ranges East and Fisherman’s Beach) The tetrad TR13 L comprises more than 50% sea, with most of the land being part of the Hythe Ranges which is predominately open shingle with some scattered vegetation. Consequently the range of breeding species present is rather limited but probably includes Ringed Plover, Red-legged Partridge and Black Redstart and possibly Cuckoo, Oystercatcher, Nightingale, Wheatear and Stonechat. Turtle Dove bred until relatively recently and there was a Little Tern colony known at the ranges from 1909 and apparently moved progressively westward as range activity increased during the twentieth century, disappearing completely by 1968. It was the terns which attracted Roger Norman’s attention in the late 1940s and he watched the site regularly during the 1950s and 1960s, and again from 1990, though focusing mainly on the section within TR13 G in the earlier years. The bushes attract migrants in spring and autumn, with sightings having included Garden Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Redstart and Spotted Flycatcher, amongst the commoner species. The seawall and open areas can hold Wheatears and Whinchats, with hirundines, pipits, wagtails, finches and buntings passing overhead. Rarer species seen in recent years have included Wood Lark (in December 2014 and 2017), Hoopoe (in April 2015) and Dartford Warbler (in December 2017). The foreshore is worth checking for waders, gulls and terns, with regular Sanderling and Turnstone, and occasionally Grey Plover, Dunlin, Purple Sandpiper and Whimbrel, whilst Bar-tailed and Black-tailed Godwits have been noted passing offshore. Gulls may include Mediterranean Gull and Little Gull, whilst Arctic Tern, Black Tern and Little Tern have been recorded in recent years.

Monochroa tekovella sp. n., a new species in the family Gelechiidae, whose description has been delayed for a long time because of its great similarity to several species of the genus Monochroa (Heinemann, 1870) and due to the long absence of other specimens and lack of a female individual. The dis- tinction is also supported by DNA barcode. After capturing specimens from Slovakia 22 years since the first finding in Moravia, it is necessary to publish this species as a new taxon, although the female sex is still un- known. In this work a description and photographs of genitalia preparations of a new species are provided. Brief comparison with related species and photographs of their genitalia preparations. Also, a photograph of a live and prepared specimen of the new species. Keywords.
