Wyre Forest Facilitation GroupWILDLIFE AUDIT 2019LITTLE LAKES GOLF COURSEName of property:Little Lakes Golf CourseLocation:3kms SW of BewdleyLandowners:Address:Little Lakes LeisureLittle Lakes Golf Club, Lye Head, Bewdley,Worcestershire DY12 2UZNick 01299 266400NoneNone250 acres in total, but not all surveyedRosemary Winnall, with help from Janet and ClivePrince, and Mike Averill4th, 6th and 17th June 2019Contact:Land designation:Countryside Stewardship scheme:AcreageRecorder:Dates of visits:AERIAL VIEW of golf course showing sites surveyedNGoogleGeologyThe eastern half of the audit area is made up of rocks from the DevonianSt Maughans formation, sedimentary clays and sandstones with bandsof conglomerate. The western half is made up of younger rocks from the

Carboniferous Etruria formation with sandstones, mudstones andconglomerates.DrainageThe Gladder Brook runs across the site from NW to SE in a woodedDingle. There is a small man-made spring-fed pond on one of the greens.Links to widerlandscapeThe steeply sloping wooded Gladder Brook valley acts as an importantwildlife corridor linking the ancient semi-natural woodlands ArleyWood (SSSI) Ribbesford Wood and Rock Coppice (SSSI) to the mainWyre Forest (2kms to the north), and to the River Severn valley (3km tothe east).ArchaeologyNone known.Current use andmanagementThe golf course is mowed on a regular basis and some of the grass iscollected. The rough grassland/scrub is left uncut, and there is somerabbit grazing. There is a reed bed system in place for the clubhouseand chalets which drains down into Gladder Brook. The whole area ismanaged with nature conservation in mind.Site 1This bank slopes steeply down to the NW to one of the greens. Thesteepest section near the bottom of the rough has the largest diversityof plants thanks to rabbit grazing which has restricted the growth ofsome of the coarser grasses. Dyer’s Greenweed, Betony, Bird’s-foottrefoil and Meadow Cranesbill are present (C. Vincent).Rough (R)Several other areas of rough grassland/scrub were surveyed. Althoughthe majority of these had many course grasses, small parts showedmore plant diversity. The long grass had good populations of grasspyralid moths, mirid bugs, spiders, grasshoppers and crickets – thelatter still immature. The flowering brambles and thistles in the scrubprovide good nectaring for insects.Dingle (D)The Dingle was checked at four spots (D on the aerial view) althoughaccess was not easy with the steep slopes. There was very little water inthe brook and not many aquatic invertebrates recorded. Flatworms,leeches, freshwater shrimps and some caddis larvae were found. Thewoodland was rich in Bluebells, Ramsons, Wood Anemones, Dog’sMercury, Yellow Archangel in the shaded parts, indicating it is oldwoodland. In places there is invasive Himalayan Balsam.PondThis is an interesting pond with an open sunny aspect and goodmarginal vegetation. It was rich in water beetles, water boatmen,Backswimmers, dragonfly and mayfly larvae, and small snails. Moorhenwas present with young, and Azure Damselflies were egg-layingamongst the Water Plantain.Habitats and featuresof noteSite 1 had the best plant diversity on the steeper ground. The pond wasrich in aquatic invertebrates. The rough grassland/scrub ecotomeswere good for insects.Species of noteThe Worm Slug (first recorded in Britain in 1972) was found undersome logs near the Clubhouse. We have very few records of Pisids –very small bivalve freshwater molluscs, and these will have to beidentified by an expert. It was good to see the Red-girdled Mining Beenectaring on Germander Speedwell as it often does.ConcernsThere is some Himalayan Balsam along the more open parts of theDingle, but it is restricted by scrub growth and mowing.

Further recordingThe weather was uncharacteristically cold, wet and cloudy during theweeks of the survey. A summer visit on a hot sunny day would providemany more insect records across the site.HABITATSNative woodland/copseConifer woodlandPermanent meadow/pastureUnimproved meadowTraditional or commercial orchardPurple moor grass/ rush pastureStreamPondWetland/marsh/flushArable fallow field marginsHigh hedgesHeathlandScrubRough field marginsGOOD HABITAT FEATURESStanding deadwoodLying deadwoodWide field margins on arable fieldsFlower-rich meadowHigh hedgesBeetle bank (raised open bank)Veteran treeWater features (Stream, pond, lake)Woody debris (trunks and branches left instream)PresentYesSome b invading meadowPoached ground, overgrazingUndergrazed meadowInvasive BrackenToo many docks or thistlesInvasive Himalayan BalsamAnother invasive plantYes, but under control
