  • THE GLAVEN RIVER CATCHMENT Links Between Geodiversity and Landscape
    THE GLAVEN RIVER CATCHMENT Links between geodiversity and landscape - A resource for educational and outreach work - Tim Holt-Wilson Norfolk Geodiversity Partnership CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Landscape Portrait 3.0 Features to visit 4.0 Local Details 5.0 Resources 1.0 INTRODUCTION The River Glaven is partly a chalk river, of which there are more in England than any other country in the world. Chalk rivers are fed from groundwater sources in chalk bedrock, producing clear waters. Many of them have ‘winterbourne’ stretches in their headwaters, with intermittent or absent flow in summer. They have characteristic plant communities, and their gravelly beds, clear waters and rich invertebrate life support important populations of brown trout, salmon and other fish. The Stiffkey is a notable example of a chalk river in north Norfolk, and is classified as one between Edgefield Bridge (TG085363) and Glandford Bridge (TG045415). This report explains the links between geodiversity and the biological and cultural character of the river catchment. It provides a digest of information for education and interpretive outreach about this precious natural resource. Some specialist words are marked in blue and appear in the Glossary (section 5). 2.0 LANDSCAPE PORTRAIT 2.1 Topography and geology The River Glaven is a river in north Norfolk with a length of 17 km (11 miles). Its catchment drains an area of some 115 sq km, with its headwaters in the uplands of the Cromer Ridge. It is fed by several tributaries, including the Thornage Beck and Water Lane Beck, among other spring-fed sources; there are no tributaries in the lower reaches where it flows directly over chalk bedrock.

  • Sphecodes Bees in This Genus Are Cleptoparasites Which Lay Their Eggs in the Nests of Halictus, Lasioglossum and Andrena Species
    Sphecodes Bees in this genus are cleptoparasites which lay their eggs in the nests of Halictus, Lasioglossum and Andrena species. They have little hair, are mostly black with a partially red abdomen, a rough cuticle and strong mandibles. In most species adult females hibernate through the winter and males appear later in the season. In all species females have a red abdomen with a dark tip. Males usually have red or yellowish bands on the abdomen but in some species the abdomen is entirely black. The antennae of males are knobbly with a flattened hair patch on each segment. A few Sphecodes are specific to their host but others have several hosts and there is still much to learn about host choice. Seventeen species have been recorded from the British Isles with 14 recorded in Norfolk, 12 post-2000. It is difficult to identify members of this genus from images alone. Male identification sometimes relies on details of genitalia. Sphecodes crassus Females Recogniseable with magnification by their swollen hind femora and long labrum. Males require examination of details of antennae and genitalia for identificaton. Flight times March – August. Males from June. Distribution Recorded in the Norwich area and the Brecks with outlying records from Narborough and Wymondham. Sphecodes crassus 4 3 2 1 0 9 2000 – 2014 8 1980 – 1999 Pre 1980 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 Habitat Quarry, old railway track, heathland, river valley. Flowers visited Angelica, Cow Parsley, Wild Carrot.

  • Andrena Bees of Norfolk Identification Guide Andrena Bees Occur in All Continents Except Australia and Antarctica
    Andrena bees of Norfolk Identification Guide Andrena bees occur in all continents except Australia and Antarctica. Over 1400 species have been described worldwide, with 67 in the British Isles. 44 Andrena species have been recorded in Norfolk, of which 41 have been seen post-2000. The term ‘mining bee’ derives from their habit of making nest holes in the ground. Pollen is carried by hairs on the hind legs and also within curved hairs under the propodeum. Some Andrena species collect pollen from just one plant family, such as Willows, and are termed oligolectic, whereas others use a wide range of pollen sources and are termed polylectic. The short tongue generally limits Andrenas to flowers with a short corolla as a nectar source. The time of year a bee is seen and the flowers it visits can often assist with identification. Bee Genera All bees, except for parasitic bees, carry pollen back to their nests for feeding larvae. In the British Isles, only Bumblebees and Honeybees have a true pollen basket on the hind tibia. A pollen basket is a broad shiny area with a row of long hairs on each side, which holds a pellet of pollen. Most other bees, including Andrenas, carry pollen on specialised areas of hair called a scopa, meaning a brush. The hairs of bees are unique amongst insects in being feathery, a feature which assists in trapping pollen grains on the scopa. Other Norfolk bee genera with a scopa on their legs (so could be confused with Andrena) are: Anthidium, Anthophora, Colletes, Halictus, Lasioglossum, and Melitta.

Central North Norfolk Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
