Arup undertook the following surveys between June 2015 and September 2015: Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA). Badger survey. Bat activity surveys. Great crested newt survey (eDNA method). Reptile surveys. Breeding bird survey. Invertebrate surveys. The PEA identified that the site is adjacent to two Local Wildlife Sites (LWS) called Roman Ridge North and South LWS and Hanging Woods and Highfield Lakes LWS. The Phase 1 Habitat survey identified that the habitats on site of interest are the naturally established grassland, marshy grassland and the deciduous woodland and the interface between these habitats. The badger survey did not identify any badger setts within the development boundary or signs that would indicate that they are present. However, the habitats on site would provide this species with optimal foraging habitat and habitat for the construction of setts. It is therefore recommended that the site is resurveyed to confirm the continued absence of this species at least three months prior to works starting on site. The bat transects and static recorders confirmed that the site is used for foraging and commuting by common and soprano pipistrelle, Myotis sp., Leisler’s and noctule. It was observed that bat activity was lower along the southern boundary of the site which could be due to light pollution or a decrease in habitat structural diversity. There are no waterbodies on site but there are a number to the south of the site. These were surveyed using environmental DNA and great crested newts were not found to be present. However, it was noted during the PEA that the site would provide common amphibian with optimal terrestrial habitat. This conclusion was supported by common toad and smooth newt being present beneath reptile refugia. Historical records indicated that grass snake were present within the local area and the reptile survey confirmed that grass snake is present on site. Particular upon the south facing grassed embankment which runs east to west across the centre of the site. No other reptile species were recorded during the reptile survey or from historical records. The breeding bird survey recorded 34 bird species on site of which four are upon the red list, 9 on the amber list and 4 are listed as Section 41 (S41) species of 244316-00/S001 | Issue 1 | 28 October 2015 Page 1 \\GLOBAL\EUROPE\LEEDS\JOBS\240000\244316-00\0 ARUP\0-15 ENVIRONMENTAL\0-15-08 REPORTS\ECIA\BRODSWORTH QUARRY_ECIA_OCTOBER 2015_ISSUE 1.DOCX Homes and Community Agency Brodsworth Quarry Non-Statutory Ecological Impact Assessment principal importance. This included grey partridge and willow tit. No Schedule 1 bird species were recorded. The invertebrate survey recorded 121 species upon the site of which 4 are species of conservation interest. This included the six-belted clearwing moth which is at its northern limit upon this site. The survey identified that the grassland/scrub interface had the greatest species diversity albeit that the species typically lacked fidelity and scarcity. It was observed that the unshaded successional habitat had lower diversity but supported species of slightly higher conservation interest. The marshy grassland was found to support species that are specific to this habitat type therefore, the presence of this habitat type increases species diversity. It is understood that the woodland on site will be retained while the areas of grassland (including marshy grassland) and tall ruderal herb would be developed where possible in to residential properties. It is recommended that as the development moves forward that an Ecological and Landscape Strategy (ELS) is produced which draws upon the mitigation measures suggested within this report. This document would be agreed with the County Ecologist. 244316-00/S001 | Issue 1 | 28 October 2015 Page 2 \\GLOBAL\EUROPE\LEEDS\JOBS\240000\244316-00\0 ARUP\0-15 ENVIRONMENTAL\0-15-08 REPORTS\ECIA\BRODSWORTH QUARRY_ECIA_OCTOBER 2015_ISSUE 1.DOCX Homes and Community Agency Brodsworth Quarry Non-Statutory Ecological Impact Assessment 1 Introduction Ove Arup and Partners Ltd (Arup) has been commissioned by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) to provide ecological services to support of the development of a site wide masterplan at Brodsworth Quarry, Doncaster (National Grid Reference SE52510790; Drawing 1).

Much of this legislation pertaining to biodiversity exists within, and also independently of, the planning process. Legislation Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) This is the primary legislation covering endangered species in England and sets out the framework for the designation of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). It confers differing levels of protection on species themselves, their habitats, or both, depending on their conservation status. Species offered protection by the Act are listed in a series of schedules. These Schedules are subject to a rolling review on a five yearly basis. Protected species are listed under Section 1 (birds), Schedule 5 (animals other than birds and invertebrates) and Schedule 8 (plants). Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 This Act affords a greater level of protection to Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), provides enhanced management arrangements for Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs), and strengthens wildlife enforcement legislation. This Act has amended the Wildlife and Countryside Act by the addition of the term ‘recklessly’ to Section 1(5) and Section 9 (4) which has resulted in additional obligations with respect to protected species. As such, it is now an offence to intentionally or recklessly disturb protected species listed on the relevant Schedules of the Act. Natural Environment and Communities Act 2006 The Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006, is designed to help achieve a rich and diverse natural environment and thriving rural communities.

IT is our sad duty to record the death, on 3rd December i 894, at Perth, of one who has for the greater part of his life been a very potent force in the great advance that has been made in our knowledge of the fauna and flora of Scotland. His wide and accurate acquaintance with animals and plants alike, of many groups the knowledge of which is in these days usually distributed among numerous specialists, and his readiness to place that knowledge at the service of all who sought his aid, early made him recognised as a leader in his favourite studies.

    Report Number 512 A review of the invertebrates associated with lowland calcareous grassland English Nature Research Reports working today for nature tomorrow English Nature Research Reports Number 512 A review of the invertebrates associated with lowland calcareous grassland Dr K N A Alexander April 2003 You may reproduce as many additional copies of this report as you like, provided such copies stipulate that copyright remains with English Nature, Northminster House, Peterborough PE1 1UA ISSN 0967-876X © Copyright English Nature 2003 Acknowledgements Thanks are due to Jon Webb for initiating this project and Dave Sheppard for help in its progression. Each draft species table was circulated amongst a number of invertebrate specialists for their reactions and additional data. Comments on the Coleoptera table were received from Jonty Denton, Tony Drane, Andrew Duff, Andy Foster, Peter Hodge, Pete Kirby, Derek Lott, Mike Morris; Hemiptera from Jonty Denton, Pete Kirby and Alan Stewart; Hymenoptera from Michael Archer, Graham Collins, Mike Edwards, and Andy Foster; spiders from Peter Harvey, David Nellist and Rowley Snazell; moths from Andy Foster and Mark Parsons. Summary This report brings together a considerable amount of information on the species composition of the invertebrate fauna of lowland calcareous grasslands, and is aimed at helping field workers and site managers to obtain a broader understanding of the extent and importance of the fauna. It concentrates on the species most closely associated with the habitat type and provides preliminary assessments of their habitat fidelity, the importance of habitat continuity, and their microhabitat preferences. Many factors influence the composition of the fauna of calcareous grasslands.

    Vierteljahrsschrift der Naturforschenden Gesellschaft in Zürich (1991) 136/2: 105-111 Die Fruchtfliegen der Stadt Zürich (Diptera: Tephritidae) Bernhard Merz, ETH Zürich Auf dem Gebiet der Stadt Zürich wurden 1987-1990 insgesamt 31 Arteis von Fruchtfliegen (Diptera: Tephritidae) aus 20 Gattungen gefunden. Für Tephritis matricariae (LOEW) wird mit Crepis taraxacifolia eine neue Wirtspflanze nachgewiesen. Phänologie, Wirtspflanzenbeziehun- gen und Biotopbindung der einzelnen Arten werden diskutiert. The Fruit-Flies of the Town of Zürich (Diptera: Tephritidae) 31 fruit-fly species (Diptera: Tephritidae) were found in the town of Zürich between 1987 and 1990. Crepis taraxacifolia is a new host plant for Tephritis matricariae (LOEW). The phenology, host plant relationships and the association of the flies to different habitats are discussed. 1 Einleitung Die Frucht- oder Bohrfliegen (Diptera: Tephritidae) sind eine grössere Familie mit weltweit etwa 4500 beschriebenen Arten (R. H. Foote, 1984). Die überwie- gende Mehrheit der Arten ist streng phytophag, wobei sämtliche Organe der Pflanzen befallen werden können. Einige Arten sind von grosser wirtsChaft- licher Bedeutung, wie etwa die Olivenfliege, Dacus oleae (GMELIN), die Kirschenfliege, Rhagoletis cerasi (LINNE), oder die Mittelmeerfruchtfliege, Ceratitis capitata (WIEDEMANN). In neuerer Zeit sind ein paar Arten als Nützlinge erkannt worden. Nach Nordamerika sind einige europäische Distelar- ten eingeschleppt worden, die sich auf Weideflächen stark ausgebreitet haben. Mit dem Einsatz von Fruchtfliegen zur biologischen Bekämpfung dieser Pflan- zen sind schon gewisse Erfolge erzielt worden (P. Harris, 1984). Erstaunlicherweise sind die Fruchtfliegen in der SChweiz trotz ihrer grossen Bedeutung noch nie gesamthaft faunistisch untersucht worden. Die einzigen beiden Lokallisten betreffen die Zentralschweiz (B. Merz, 1989, 1990). Einige Angaben findet man auch bei C.

    Invertebrate survey of Eycott Hill CWT Reserve 2019 - 2020 Final Report Stephen Hewitt [email protected] 0 Invertebrate survey of Eycott Hill CWT Reserve 2019 - 2020 - Final Report October 2020 Stephen Hewitt ([email protected]) 1 Summary This survey of insects on Eycott Hill CWT Reserve was commissioned as part of the Eycott Hill Project. This is a follow up to a survey conducted in 2014. The 2014 survey concentrated on the high invertebrate conservation interest of the mire system and established that Eycott Hill supports a significant community of rare and specialist insects associated with the complex system of mires on the site. By contrast, the present survey focuses primarily on the newly created/restored habitats resulting from management work over the last 6 years. The aim is to provide some baseline data for the ongoing monitoring of the invertebrate interest of the nature reserve. Some options for further enhancement of invertebrate habitat are offered for consideration. 751 records of 343 invertebrate species identified as a result of the survey have been collated to date. In combination with the invertebrate survey of 2014, this gives a combined total of 1588 records of 459 invertebrate taxa recorded on the Eycott Hill Reserve. 20 species with a conservation designation have been recorded in the present survey, bringing the combined total of Designated species for the two surveys to 31. One RDB1 Endangered species (the bog cranefly Idioptera linnei), two RDB2 Vulnerable species (the Marsh Fritillary butterfly and the hoverfly Parhelophilus consimilis), and 14 nationally scarce species have been recorded during the present survey, including the first Cumbrian record of the upland planthopper Dicranotropis divergens.
