  • 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.

  • Royal Forest Trail
    Once there was a large forest on the borders of Rutland called the Royal Forest of Leighfield. Now only traces remain, like Prior’s Coppice, near Leighfield Lodge. The plentiful hedgerows and small fields in the area also give hints about the past vegetation cover. Villages, like Belton and Braunston, once deeply situated in the forest, are square shaped. This is considered to be due to their origin as enclosures within the forest where the first houses surrounded an open space into which animals could be driven for their protection and greater security - rather like the covered wagon circle in the American West. This eventually produced a ‘hollow-centred’ village later filled in by buildings. In Braunston the process of filling in the centre had been going on for many centuries. Ridlington betrays its forest proximity by its ‘dead-end’ road, continued only by farm tracks today. The forest blocked entry in this direction. Indeed, if you look at the 2 ½ inch O.S map you will notice that there are no through roads between Belton and Braunston due to the forest acting as a physical administrative barrier. To find out more about this area, follow this trail… You can start in Oakham, going west out of town on the Cold Overton Road, then 2nd left onto West Road towards Braunston. Going up the hill to Braunston. In Braunston, walk around to see the old buildings such as Cheseldyn Farm and Quaintree Hall; go down to the charming little bridge over the River Gwash (the stream flowing into Rutland Water).

  • LEICESTERSHIRE and RUTLAND BAT GROUP Summer Programme
    LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLAND BAT GROUP Summer Programme 2016 NB – As with all evening walks, even in summer the weather can be cool after sunset. Bring warm clothes and a torch. If the weather looks ‘iffy’ it is worth checking with the named contact that the event will be going ahead. If it is throwing it down with rain the walk is unlikely to go ahead. National Bat Monitoring Programme (NBMP) This scheme is run by the Bat Conservation Trust. It involves evening counts at roosts in June of four species – Natterer’s, Brown Long-eared, Common and Soprano Pipistrelle – and two types of field transect surveys: the Noctule, Serotine, Pipistrelle field survey (undertaken in July) and the waterways survey for Daubenton’s bats (undertaken in August). May Thursday 5th May, Ulverscroft Nature Reserve, (near Copt Oak) bat box checking 10am start, should end around 12.30pm Come and help check these wooden and woodcrete bat boxes. There are approximately 25 boxes to check. So far I have found pips, brown long-eareds, noctules and Leisler’s in these boxes. Ideal for people currently training to get their bat license as you’ll get the chance to learn how to do bat box checks, open some boxes, use an endoscope and hopefully handle a few bats too. You must be rabies vaccinated if you wish to handle the bats. Booking essential – please call Nathalie on 07932 866197 or e-mail [email protected] Sunday 8th May, Charnwood Lodge nature reserve (near Copt Oak) bat box checking 10am start, should end by around 2pm.

LE11 3PR (01509-214711) IVY Hedera helix - A PLANT FOR ALL SEASONS Ivy, our only evergreen native climbing plant, is well known to butterfly enthusiasts as being the second generation food plant of the Holly Blue larvae but I suspect far fewer appreciate its importance to large numbers of moth species such as The Chestnut, Dark Chestnut, Dark Sword-grass, Tawny Pinion, Green-brindled Crescent, The Satellite and Red-line Quaker. It is also one of two main larval food plants of an attractive little geometer moth, the Yellow-barred Brindle, whose other main food plant is the Holly - like the Holly Blue! Ivy also provides important winter hibernating cover for The Brimstone, The Peacock and numerous other insect species. It gives protection to hibernating insects and roosting birds in the worst of the winter's weather when the countryside becomes a wind-swept, hostile place to all living organisms and when decent shelter can make all the difference between life and death to creatures fighting to stay alive and doing their best to avoid being blown into oblivion!

  • A Review of Freshwater Fish in Leicestershire and Rutland by Andrew Heaton, County Recorder for Fish, 2013
    A Review of Freshwater Fish in Leicestershire and Rutland By Andrew Heaton, County Recorder for Fish, 2013 1. Introduction 1.1 The Historic View Lacking the trout-haunted chalk streams or salmon-spawning upland rivers, Leicestershire and Rutland (L&R) have tended to be little regarded in fishery terms. Even the main coarse rivers (Soar, Welland) were not seen as measuring up to the Severn or Thames. In “The Compleat Angler”, Izaak Walton’s only reference to Leicestershire is to name it as one of the counties through which the Trent flows (forming the county boundary for a relatively short distance near Castle Donington). 1.2 Previous Studies There appear to have been few previous reviews or studies of fish populations related specifically to Leicestershire and/or Rutland. Browne (1889) listed L&R’s fish (also including details of fossil fish from the two counties). The wording used in the 1889 document was repeated almost exactly in Browne’s contribution to the Victoria County History (1907), though there is differentiation of River and Brook Lamprey in the 1889 publication, a distinction that was slightly confused in the VCH. Through the 20th Century, fish surveys were undertaken by the various water authorities, providing the information relevant to Leicestershire and Rutland mapped in Maitland (1972) and Davies et al (2004). Onions (2008, 2009) gave an overview of Leicestershire fish. 1.3 Recording Fish Whilst the bulk of fish surveys are undertaken by Environment Agency (EA) fisheries teams, utilising techniques such as netting and electrofishing, other people are recording fish and generating distribution maps.

Habitat creation information 1. Introduction 1.1 Leicestershire and Rutland Biodiversity Action Plan Biodiversity is the variety of life in all its forms and the habitats where it occurs. In 1992, at the ‘Earth Summit’ in Rio de Janeiro, the UK Government signed the Biodiversity Convention. This was followed up by the publication of Biodiversity: The UK Action Plan , in 1994, with the stated goal ‘to conserve and enhance biological diversity in the UK....‘. One way this is to be achieved is through Local Biodiversity Action Plans, which aim to focus resources to conserve and enhance biodiversity by means of local partnerships, taking account of national and local priorities. To this end surveys of the local habitat resource (Bowen & Morris 1996) and key species (Lott 1997) in Leicestershire and Rutland, were published. A working group of representatives from 19 organisations, lead by Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust, used this information to draw up the local plan, “Biodiversity Challenge: An Action Plan for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland”, which was produced in 1998.

  • The Heritage of Rutland Water
    The Heritage of Rutland Water Rutland Local History & Record Society at Rutland County Museum When the twin valleys of the River Gwash were flooded in the mid-1970s, Rutland Water became Europe’s largest man-made lake set in England’s smallest county. This large area of water created as a reservoir, initially strongly opposed, has become a major tourist attraction internationally recognized for its wildlife. Our project involves the local community in investigating, documenting and publicising the changing heritage of this area. This is the first time that such a detailed and comprehensive survey has been attempted and it may be the last opportunity before memories disappear. Rutland Water was planned in the 1960s to meet the needs of the expanding East Midlands area of England. Sixty-four sites in and around the Northamptonshire area were investigated before the twin valleys of the River Gwash were chosen. The second choice was the Chater valley, less than a mile away to the south. The main reasons for choosing this site were the availability of clay within the reservoir area to build the dam, the nearness of the River Welland and the River Nene to supply the water required, and its central location to the area requiring the water. Construction started in 1971, filling commenced in 1975, and it was full by 1979. Initially it was to be called ‘Empingham Reservoir’, but local pressure persuaded the water authority to change it to ‘Rutland Water’. Not everyone was happy at the prospect of flooding a large area of prime agricultural land and there was a concerted campaign against the proposal, especially from those farmers who considered that they were about to lose their land and livelihood.
