Muddy wellies, warm scarves and funny looking sun hats; binoculars, pencils, magnifying lenses and cameras at the ready. All you need now is the Wildwatch group and you have yourself a St Nicks adventure. Another carefully recorded year of every flap, buzz and scurry of the wildlife on the nature reserve. It has been a great growing year on the nature reserve for flora, fauna and the Wildwatch group. We have welcomed new members to the main group and started a group for students, assisted by a Wildwatch member. New members are adding to their skills and the skills and enthusiasm of the group. There have also been some exciting sightings of Water Voles, the Girdled Snail and the Floronia bucculenta money spider as well as over 450 other species on our diverse 24-acre nature reserve. Tom Waring Chief Officer Friends of St Nicholas Fields 2 St Nicholas Fields Wildlife Report 2013 Introduction About The Nature Reserve St Nicholas Fields Local Nature Reserve, about a mile from the centre of York, is a 24 acre (9.7 ha.) site comprising a managed mixture of scrub, woodland and grassland. Osbaldwick Beck enters the reserve on the Southern boundary and is then culverted under the reserve, where it joins up with Tang Hall Beck, which leaves the reserve on the Northern boundary. Formerly a brickworks and clay extraction site, then a landfill site from 1950 to 1974, the site was taken over by York City Council and designated an Urban Nature Park in 1993. A clay cap was laid over the site to seal in hazardous pollutants before the land was opened to the public, and this clay has had some influence on the habitat. In February 2004, St Nicholas Fields was officially designated as a Local Nature reserve. The nature reserve forms just one of the aspects of St Nicholas Fields, and more information on the many activities on the site can be found on the website: www.StNicks.org.uk About This Report This is the third annual Wildlife Report for the reserve. A “Friends of St Nicholas Fields Wildwatch Group” meets weekly (Wednesday mornings, 10 am to 12 noon) to walk round the reserve and record what is seen. During the year, the number of people on the Wildwatch Wednesday walk steadily increased, and at times, there were more than a dozen people participating. This enabled us to split into a number of sub-groups, with each sub-group concentrating on different aspects of nature. This report is drawn mainly from the Group’s observations, with other contributions from the reserve’s Rangers, other volunteers, visiting specialists and members of the public. Location references in this report (e.g. W5a) denote areas marked on the Recording Map in Appendix One. We, Kaye Green, Ian Traynor and Cliff Wilton, the compilers of this report, appreciate that, although knowledge of the wildlife on the reserve is increasing, there is still much to learn about what is present on the St Nicks Local Nature Reserve. 3 St Nicholas Fields Wildlife Report 2013 More Information An informal, illustrated record of the Friends of St Nicholas Fields Wildwatch Group’s activities is maintained on the St Nicholas Fields blog: http://stnicks.org.uk/get-inspired/blog/ .. and a photo record of the reserve is maintained on The Friends of St Nicholas Fields Flickr page: www.flickr.com/groups/stnickscameraclub/ All photographs in this report were taken on the reserve in 2013. Front cover: Small Copper butterfly on a Teasel head. The Wildwatch Group is part of St Nicks (charity registered as Friends of St Nicholas Fields, No: 1153739). 4 St Nicholas Fields Wildlife Report 2013 Birds Introduction * = new record for the reserve in 2013 (R) = birds on the “Red List” – birds of national conservation concern The “York Recording Area” is some 550 square miles around York Records are compiled mainly from the weekly reports of the Wildwatch Group. However, records are also received from St Nicks staff, visitors to the reserve and from Wildwatch members making independent visits. Abundance: Some indication has been given of the likelihood of visitors to the reserve seeing specific species. Where “abundance” is expressed as a percentage, this relates to the number of “Wildwatch Wednesdays” when this species has been recorded. Species List Greylag Goose Anser anser Resident breeder in the York area Abundance was the same as in 2012 – 16%, always flying over the reserve and never landing. Canada Goose Branta Canadensis Resident breeder in the York area One record this year, compared with six last year. As with Greylag Geese, the sightings were only “fly-overs”. Mallard Anas platyrhynchos Resident breeder nearby Abundance 53%, slightly lower than last year. As in 2012, sparse sightings in July and August. The only juveniles (one seen left) were seen in Osbaldwick Beck, supporting the theory that breeding took place in the nearby Hull Road Park. Common Pheasant Phasianus colchicus Resident breeder in the York area A single “heard only” record in late November constitutes the only record of this species. Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo Resident breeder in the York Recording Area One flew over the reserve in mid May, first record since 2011. 5 St Nicholas Fields Wildlife Report 2013 Grey Heron Ardea cinereo Resident breeder in the York Recording Area After a gap of a couple of years, one was seen flying over the reserve on 7th August and on 20th November. Sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus Resident breeder and passage migrant in the York Recording Area Abundance: 33% Over the past few years, there has been a steady increase in sightings – all “fly-overs”. This may be due to improved observer awareness. Sightings: 2011: 7; 2012: 10; 2013: 16. Moorhen Gallinula chloropus Resident breeder nearby Only two sightings this year, much fewer than in 2012, both in February. * Oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus Passage migrant and scarce breeder in the York Recording Area A single flyover sighting on 24th July, a new record for St Nicks. Woodcock Scolopax rusticola Resident breeder and winter visitor in the York Recording Area One flushed from the Bund Path in W4a on 20th November. Black-headed Gull Chroicocephalus ridibundus Resident breeder, winter visitor and passage migrant in the York Recording Area Abundance 40%. Seen regularly January to April and October to December. A single sighting on 26th June was the only summer record. A flock of 50+ birds on 23rd January was unusual for the reserve. All sightings were birds flying over the reserve, with the exception of birds on the becks on 23rd January. * Common Gull Larus canus Winter visitor and passage migrant in the York Recording Area A single sighting on 11th December was a new record for the reserve.

  • Area 3 Habitat Assessments and Pollinator Surveys October
    Inspiring change for Important Invertebrate Areas in the UK Area 3 habitat assessments and pollinator surveys 11th September 2014 Susan Thompson - Grants & Trusts Officer October 2016 (Updated April 2017) Jamie Robins Saving the small things that run the planet Executive Summary Buglife Services were commissioned by Kier Group Ltd in July 2016 to undertake a series of baseline habitat surveys within the Area 3 network, to identify sites where improvements for pollinators could be implemented. These results were then used to identify ten sites with the highest potential and deliverability, using a ranking exercise, in addition to a Kier owned depot. Buglife Services undertook more detailed habitat assessments and pollinator surveys during brief site visits in August 2016. Of the 11 sites surveyed, a total of 104 pollinator species were recorded. This comprised 18 Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), 33 Hoverflies, 18 other Diptera (true flies), 14 bees, 6 other hymenoptera and 11 other minor pollinators (e.g. true bugs and beetles). A further 38 incidental (non-pollinator) species were also recorded. These results and habitat assessments were used to provide management suggestions to enhance the value of these sites for pollinators. Where possible suggestions aimed to benefit key species recorded during site surveys, such as the Chalk hill blue butterfly (Polyommatus coridon), the Section 41 priority species Straw belle moth (Aspitates gilvaria) and the scarce (Nb) wasp Microdynerus exilis. Finally, recommendations for future survey and monitoring were provided, aiming to inform Kier of the progression of habitat improvements for pollinators and advise future management. Introduction There has been a growing interest in managing road verges and other transport features more sensitively for biodiversity.

Feeding on Potentilla and Sanguisorba (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Argidae) from Japan Akihiko Shinohara1 and Hideho Hara2 1 Department of Zoology, National Museum of Nature and Science, 3–23–1 Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 169–0073 Japan E-mail: [email protected] 2 Hokkaido Forestry Research Institute, Koshunai, Bibai-shi, Hokkaido, 079–0198 Japan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new argid sawfly, Arge indicura, is described from Japan. It was identified with Arge nigrovaginata Malaise, 1931, described from the Russian Far East, for more than seven decades, but a recent examination of Malaise’s type material has revealed the misidentification. Previously unknown immature stages are described, new host plant records are given, and the distribution and life history are discussed based on the specimens examined and rearing experiments. The mostly greenish, solitary and cryptic larvae feed on the leaves of Potentilla and Sanguisorba (also Fra- garia and Duchesnea in the laboratory), all belonging to the clade Sanpotina of the Rosaceae. Arge indicura probably has three generations a year in the lowland of central Honshu. Key words : Argidae, Arge indicura, new species, Potentilla, Sanguisorba. In the course of our revisionary works on the Our examination of the holotype of Arge pa- sawfly genus Arge of Japan and adjacent regions, gana var. nigrovaginata has revealed that the we have found that the Japanese species previ- Japanese species does not belong to Malaise’s ously determined as Arge nigrovaginata Malaise, taxon.

  • LCES/CMG Newsletter
    Lancashire & Cheshire Entomological Society Newsletter Incorporating The Cheshire Moth Group Newsletter June 2004 Number 1011 The newsletter is available to download in colour from the NWMoths group pages at www.yahoo.com 1 Welcome! Summer is well under way, if you call the wet and windy weather we have had in June a summer! The season to date seems to have been very poor weather wise. I was trapping in late May in Dorset for Dingy Mocha and the temperature at dawn was 3.5 degrees centigrade – I’ve known warmer nights in the middle of winter! Mind you, I did catch a single example of the target species just showing that moths will fly even in far from perfect conditions. If I had been at home I probably would not have bothered running the traps. A few other recent trips have also brought home the importance of overnight trapping. On a BENHS meeting in Lincolnshire surveying for Marsh Moth many of the participants left around midnight. The first of 6 examples of this rare animal arrived half an hour later. Similarly, on a trip to the Wyre Forest for Common Fan-foot the only example arrived after 3:00am and on Salisbury Plain last week the first of 23 Pale Shining Brown again came in after midnight. This was a very ‘exciting’ evening as the site adjoins a military range – moth trapping to the accompaniment of machine gun fire and main battle tanks roaring backwards and forwards was an interesting experience! The moral of all this is clear. If at all possible consider spending the night on site when moth trapping.

  • Pollinator Survey Report Year 1
    November 2014 Suzanne Bairner Saving the small things that run the planet Summary Over the three year project, Fife’s Buzzing will create wildflower meadows at 16 parks totalling over 12 hectares across Fife. Sites have been selected across the Kingdom of Fife to deliver multiple benefits to both wildlife and people. Surveys to record invertebrates, focusing on pollinating insects, before and after meadow creation will identify species using the meadow as well as changes over the project lifetime. During this pollinator survey, a total of eight parks, selected for meadow creation and enhancement in autumn 2014 and spring 2015, were surveyed for invertebrates; parks surveyed included Dunnikier Park, Dunnikier Park Golf Course and Ravenscraig Park in Kirkcaldy, Public Park in Dunfermline, Cotlands Park in Kennoway, Poplar Road in Methil, Riverside Park in Glenrothes and Silver Sands in Aberdour. A higher number of species of invertebrate were recorded within pre-existing areas of meadows at Dunnikier Park and Public Park (30 species) than in areas of amenity grassland at all eight parks (8 species). A total of 33 invertebrate species were recorded during this survey this total includes 18 species of pollinating insect. The creation and enhancement of meadows through this project will include planting a range of native wildflower species of known origin that will provide vital foraging habitat for pollinating insects and other wildlife. 1 Contents Page Page Number 1.

This study was carried out in 2000–2004 on strawberry plantations in Tukums, Rîga, Do- bele, and Limbaþi districts. Insects were collected from strawberry fields by pitfall trapping, sweep netting and leaf sampling methods. A total of 137 insect species belonging to seven orders and 41 families were identified to species. Of the phytophagous insects, the order Orthoptera was represented by one species, other orders by a larger number of species: Hymenoptera (3), Dip- tera (16), Lepidoptera (20), Thysanoptera (21), Hemiptera (39), and Coleoptera (37). Of the re- corded insects, 48 species have a status of general strawberry pests. Key words: Fragaria × ananassa, strawberry pests, insect diversity.

Die Karyotypen von fünf Arten der Argidae (Arge gracilicornis, A. pagana, A. melanochra, A. cyanocrocea und A. nigripes) sowie von Abia candens (Cimbicidae) und Calameuta filiformis (Cephidae) wur­ den untersucht. Keywords Karyotypes, Hymenoptera / Symphyta: Argidae, Cimbicidae, Cephidae Introduction The karyotypes of sawfly species in the families Argidae, Cephidae, and Cimbicidae are largely unknown. The Argidae is the second largest family of Symphyta and comprises some 800 species (SMITH, 1993). Only three of them have been studied cytogenetically (BENSON, 1950; M a x w e l l , 1958). The haploid chromosome numbers of two of the 150 or more species of Cimbicidae (SMITH, 1993) have so far been reported (BENSON, 1950). In Cephidae with about 100 species known (SMITH, 1993), karyotypes of two species have been published (MACKAY, 1955; CROZIER & TASCHENBERG, 1972). This study presents the first information about chromosomes of five argid species, Arge cyanocrocea, A. gracilicornis, A.
