Survey for the Blue Ground Beetle Carabus intricatus at Coed Maesmelin and other Woodlands in the Neath Valley, Glamorgan (2016)
The chance finding of several adult Blue Ground Beetles Carabus intricatus in a garden on the edge of Neath in 2012 and 2013 led to the discovery of a population in the nearby Coed Maesmelin Woodland Trust reserve in January 2015 during a NRW-funded survey. Three adults were recorded, and recommendations were made to improve the quality of the woodland habitat for the beetle by re-introducing grazing and cutting back bramble to provide more open conditions. Survey work in February 2016 focussed on finding additional populations of the beetle in woodlands within close proximity to Coed Maesmelin. A total of eight sites were visited during this second phase of survey work but no beetles were found, although some areas in the upper Mellte and Nedd valleys and at Craig Gwladys Country Park appeared to have highly suitable habitat. Coed Maesmelin was also re-visited, with just a single adult being found here on 4th February 2016. Bramble growth appeared to be even stronger than in the previous year and given the absence of other records from the Neath area, implementation of a programme of remedial management that aims to improve the habitat quality here is required urgently.
