  • 2017 City of York Biodiversity Action Plan
    CITY OF YORK Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2017 City of York Local Biodiversity Action Plan - Executive Summary What is biodiversity and why is it important? Biodiversity is the variety of all species of plant and animal life on earth, and the places in which they live. Biodiversity has its own intrinsic value but is also provides us with a wide range of essential goods and services such as such as food, fresh water and clean air, natural flood and climate regulation and pollination of crops, but also less obvious services such as benefits to our health and wellbeing and providing a sense of place. We are experiencing global declines in biodiversity, and the goods and services which it provides are consistently undervalued. Efforts to protect and enhance biodiversity need to be significantly increased. The Biodiversity of the City of York The City of York area is a special place not only for its history, buildings and archaeology but also for its wildlife. York Minister is an 800 year old jewel in the historical crown of the city, but we also have our natural gems as well. York supports species and habitats which are of national, regional and local conservation importance including the endangered Tansy Beetle which until 2014 was known only to occur along stretches of the River Ouse around York and Selby; ancient flood meadows of which c.9-10% of the national resource occurs in York; populations of Otters and Water Voles on the River Ouse, River Foss and their tributaries; the country’s most northerly example of extensive lowland heath at Strensall Common; and internationally important populations of wetland birds in the Lower Derwent Valley.

New L.B. Recording Scheme Organiser Your new scheme organiser and newsletter editor is Simon Hayhow. For those of you who do not know me I am Curator (Natural Sciences) for Lancashire County Museum Service. I started in the 'South Yorkshire school of entomology', working with Bill Ely at Rotherham Museum and receiving early encouragement from other Sorby Natural History Society members like Derek Whiteley and Austin Brackenbury. I have been recording larger Brachycera for around twenty years but, for several years, Diptera recording did take second place to summer contract work for the R.S.P.B., English Nature and other organisations. I have been a regular attender at Dipterists' Day and the Preston Montford spring meetings. I have also attended several Dipterists' Field Weeks. I am Lancashire Diptera Recorder for the Lancashire and Cheshire Entomology Society and keen to encourage new dipterists in the North West. I may not yet be in the 'premier league' of Stubbs, Drake et al but hope to emulate their work and level of knowledge with the Larger Brachycera. Having taken over from Martin as L.B. Scheme Organiser, I would like to thank him for his hard work over the past ten years, with some notable achievements in promoting the study of the Larger Brachycera, including the publication of a Provisional Atlas in 1991.

  • Habitats Regulation Assessment Scoping Report
    Hambleton District Council Local Plan Habitats Regulations Assessment Scoping Report January 2016 Summary The Habitats Directive1 seeks to protect the integrity of Natura 2000 sites and requires a Habitats Regulations Assessment to be undertaken to assess the implications of the plan or project on Natura 2000 sites, which includes Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Areas (SPA) and RAMSAR sites. The key principle is to adopt the precautionary approach and to preserve the integrity of sites. The sites identified for inclusion in the assessment are: SAC North York Moors Strensall Common River Derwent North Pennine Moors North Pennine Dales Meadows SPA North York Moors North Pennine Moors Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast Ramsar Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast The Hambleton Local Plan will allocate land for housing and commercial development to meet the growth of the District up to 2035. Introduction 1 The Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (Habitats Directive) (Directive 92/34/EEC) Requirement to carry out an assessment under the Habitats Regulations Articles 6 (3) and 6 (4) of the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (Habitats Directive) (Directive 92/43/EEC) require an assessment to be undertaken for plans and projects that are likely to have a significant effect, alone or in combination with other plans and projects, on one or more European sites (Special Protection Areas and Special Areas of Conservation). Article 6(3) states: ‘Any plan or project not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the site but likely to have a significant effect thereon, either individually or in combination with other plans and projects, shall be subject to appropriate assessment of its implications for the site in view of the site’s conservation objectives.

  • 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.

  • Zones of Influence
    Eryri Local Development Plan Background Paper 21 Zones of Influence May 2017 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 Introduction The Authority has identified eight ‘Zones of influence’ which are within and straddle the National Park. These areas have similar characteristics and have strong community links. The work on the Zones of Influence draws on a wide range of surveys and related national, regional and local plans and strategies discussed in the Spatial Development Strategy Background Paper.

  • 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.
