Sessions on biological recording, botanical and entomological identification, as well as practical surveying and a Bioblitz took place during May to September 2015. Location of Y Dolydd Y Dolydd also known as Llanfyllin Workhouse is situated to the east of Llanfyllin within the two 1km2 grid squares (SJ1418 and SJ1518) (Figures 1, 2 and 3). The site is within the botanical vice-county of Montgomeryshire (v.c. 47) and the political area of Powys County Council. Y Dolydd is approximately 2.65 hectares, and at around 115m in elevation. The southern boundary of Y Dolydd follows the A490 with a small section of the road being truncated in the 1980s when the road was re-aligned. To the north is the Cadnant stream, which flows from the southwest of the site along the north boundary and continues east towards the Afon Cain. The eastern boundary is marked with a metal fence and hedges. Land to the north and east is pasture land used for cattle and sheep. To the west is an old stable block (Figures 2 and 3).

To the west is the old stable block. To the south of Y Dolydd is the A490, with Llanfyllin to be found further along to the west. The meadows can be seen to the north of the main buildings, extending from west to east. Cultivated areas of the site are to the immediate south, southeast and north of the buildings.

In the late 1830s the Llanfyllin Union was created to distribute relief to paupers, as well as other duties; at the first meeting in February 1837 it was agreed that workhouse ‘be built for the Union capable of containing 250 paupers’. The land on which Y Dolydd was built was owned by the Llanfyllin Rector Mr Hughes, who sold it on the agreement that a burial ground was provided, a chaplain appointed and religious instruction provided for the workhouse children. The building was designed by Thomas Penson, following a model put forward by the ‘Report of the Poor Law Commission’ in 1836. The building has at its centre a three storey house (originally the Master’s accommodation), with four wings coming off from this point. Each wing and the adjacent courtyard allowed for segregation of the men, women, boys and girls. Constructed from brickwork, a local stone and imported dressed stone and slate roofing from nearby Llangynog. Construction started in 1838 and by November 1840 was described by the clerk as ‘The house is filling fast’. The name of Llanfyllin Workhouse changed prior to the 1930s to Y Dolydd or The Meadows. By the 1960s Y Dolydd was modernised and became an old people’s home; these modernisations included the demolition of some buildings, walls and tall ornamental chimneys, replacement of old cast iron windows, and re-roofing. By the 1980s Y Dolydd old people’s home was up for closure by Powys County Council, a local campaign gave it a short reprieve but by September 1982 Y Dolydd closed its doors. A new chapter dawned when Y Dolydd was established as a centre for outdoor pursuits ‘The Challenge Centre’, unfortunately this failed following the death of one of the founders. Upon re- sale much of the internal fixtures were removed and the place fell into dereliction. Only in 2001 was it saved when a local businesswoman Hilary Collins bought Y Dolydd, with the ambition to set it up as business park hopefully bringing business and visitors to Llanfyllin. At this time the Llanfyllin Dolydd Building Preservation Trust was formed and it secured the building in 2004. Since that time the Trust has been working to ‘create a community enterprise for arts, education, environment and heritage’. In 2010 the roof of the front of Y Dolydd was replaced. Land to the northeast and southeast (called North Garden and East Garden in this report) was used by the Workhouse as a vegetable garden (Figure 4). Not shown on any maps (Figures 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9) is the field and metal fence line that runs from the north-eastern corner southwards to near the north-eastern corner of the North Garden hedgerow. When this field was incorporated into Y Dolydd land is unknown but looking at the age of the fence it is not recent. Otherwise the site and boundaries at Y Dolydd look little changed since the 1880s (Figure 5) A more detailed history of Y Dolydd / Llanfyllin Workhouse can be found in Hainsworth (2004). 8 Figure 4: Y Dolydd in the 1930s or 1940s. Seen from the hill to the east, with Llanfyllin in the distance. The A490 is shown on the left (pre re-alignment works). Of interest are the cultivated areas in the North and East Garden. Any hedging around the site is low with only a few trees present. A large tree (Oak?) can also been seen on the boundary with the road, sadly long gone. Source: Hainsworth (2004).

There are only three historical records made for “Y Dolydd”, all for Bats. The earliest was made on the 28th of August 1984, by Marri Packwood who recorded an ‘unknown bat’ as being present at ‘Y Dolidd (sic), Llanfyllin’ in SJ1419. This grid reference is wrong for Y Dolydd, but a search does not reveal any other ‘Y Dolidd’ or ‘Y Dolydd’ in the Llanfyllin area, so it can be assumed to be an error for ‘Y Dolydd’ and should be either SJ1418 or SJ1518. No details are known about Marri Packwood. More recently Mike Green recorded two species of bats, Brown Long-eared Bat Plecotus auritus and Lesser Horseshoe Bat Rhinolophus hipposideros on the 21st of January 2008 within Y Dolydd.

Introduction 8 9 1.1 The need for objective monetary valuation of biodiversity losses 10 11 Biodiversity plays a key role in ecological processes and the delivery of ecosystem services, and its 12 importance has been widely recognized (MA, 2005). In spite global actions, biodiversity is declining at 13 an alarming rate (Butchart et al., 2012). In many cases, policy measures to safeguard biodiversity and 14 resource developments are mutually exclusive and hence biodiversity conservation implies the 15 decision to bear opportunity costs (Bennett et al., 2003). Being confronted with budget constraints, 16 policy makers need to justify decision-making by supporting evidence of biodiversity benefits 17 outweighing the opportunity costs incurred. 18 19 In 2001, the EU adopted the Biodiversity Action Plan, which aims at integrating environmental 20 requirements into a market policy. In its mid-term assessment, the Commission confirmed the need for 21 major action to stop the loss of biodiversity and acknowledged the need to strengthen independent 22 scientific advice to global policy making (EC, 2008). But in spite the need for objectively comparable 23 monetary standards to include biodiversity arguments in policymaking, the empirical literature 24 investigating the relationship between species diversity and it’s valuation from a farmers perspective is 25 still scarce (Finger, 2015).

Räumlich begrenzte Vorkommen erwiesen sich als erstaunlich artenreich. Sie werden im einzelnen vorgestellt, sowie eine bemerkenswerte Begleitfauna genannt. Betrachtungen von Verhaltensweisen runden das Bild ab, zeigen aber gleichzeitig die Notwendigkeit für weitere Studien. Abstract: Studies on Pipunculid flies in their natural environment are presented. Certain places are described, which proved to be astonishingly rieh in species. Some remarkable associating insect species are listed. As far as investigated comments on the behaviour of the adult flies are added. Key words: Diptera, Pipunculidae, behaviour, ecology Introduction Pipunculid flies are rather small mostly black insects, developing as parasitoids inside leafhoppers, with the ability of hovering (relationship to Syrphidae) and with enormous compound eyes, useful for males in search for females, and for females in search for a potential victim, a cicad larva. Most specimen of Pipunculidae studied so far were collected by Malaise traps. This material allows to describe the existing species, to secure their systematical stand, and to mark their distribution. Many questions in this chapter are still open. On the other hand the development as parasitoids in leafhoppers show fascinating aspects of adaptations to this life and even has an ecological/economical content regarding pest control.

Six visits were made, one each in April to September 2020 to record terrestrial insects in a number of orders. Survey involved sweep-netting the available vegetation and some direct searching for species at flowers across the whole site. Insect groups covered by the survey are presented in Section 1.3. Tables showing the species recorded are presented in Section 1.4. Species were identified in the field wherever possible, but due to identification difficulties with some species, some were retained and identified with the aid of a microscope. Reference material has been retained in the collection of the surveyor, surplus material will be donated to the collections of the National Biodiversity Data Centre, Waterford, Eire and/or Portsmouth City Museum Service.

    Abhandlungen aus dem Westfälischen Museum für Naturkunde, Band 83 (2016): 67 - 88 Die Wanzenfauna (Insecta: Heteroptera) ausgewählter Landlebensräume am Diersfordter Waldsee 1 (Kreis Wesel, Nordrhein-Westfalen) Peter Schäfer, Telgte Zusammenfassung Im Rahmen eines Monitorings der Biologischen Station des Kreises Wesel am Diersfordter Waldsee (Kreis Wesel, Nordrhein-Westfalen) sind im Jahr 2014 erst- mals die Wanzen (nur terrestrische Arten) berücksichtigt worden. Die Erfassung erfolgte in drei unter Naturschutzaspekten angelegten Biotopschutzbereichen (BSB), die ein unterschiedliches Alter aufweisen und sich infolgedessen in ver- schiedenen Stadien der Sukzession befinden. In jedem BSB sind zwei Probe- flächen des Offenlandes mit unterschiedlichen Methoden intensiv untersucht worden. Zusätzlich erfolgten unsystematische Aufsammlungen in weiteren Le- bensräumen der BSB. Insgesamt wurden 104 Arten nachgewiesen. Das Spektrum umfasst sowohl wär- meliebende Wanzen sandiger Magerrasen als auch Arten halbschattiger und feuchter Hochstauden- und Gehölzbestände. Zumeist handelte es sich um weit verbreitete und häufige Arten der halboffenen, gehölzreichen Landschaft, die auch außerhalb des Untersuchungsgebietes regelmäßig zu erwarten sind. Von den wenigen faunistisch bemerkenswerten Wanzen werden Cardiastethus fasciiventris (Garbiglietti, 1869) und Lygus maritimus Wagner, 1949 detaillierter besprochen. Als wesentliche Ursache für die eher geringen Ähnlichkeiten der Wanzengemeinschaften der drei BSB wird die sich stark unterscheidende Struk- tur

    Shropshire Entomology – April 2013 (No.7) A bi-annual newsletter focussing upon the study of insects and other invertebrates in the county of Shropshire (V.C. 40) April 2013 (Vol. 7) Editor: Pete Boardman [email protected] ~ Welcome ~ Welcome to the 7th edition of the Shropshire Entomology newsletter. As ever I hope you enjoy it and it inspires you to submit your own articles relating to any aspect of entomology relevant to Shropshire or Shropshire entomologists. Many thanks once more to everyone who has contributed to this edition and thanks to Steve McWilliam for proof-reading it. The deadline for submission of content for Vol. 8 is September 20th 2013. Please feel free to pass this newsletter on to anyone you feel might be interested in it. Perhaps the most wonderful thing about this volume is the list of new County Recorders who will now be helping to compile, manage, and verify records.
