Surveys for Desmoulin’s Whorl Snail Vertigo moulinsiana on Cors Geirch SSSI, Geyer’s Whorl Snail Vertigo geyeri on Cors Geirch SSSI & Cors Erddreiniog SSSI, 2019
Geyer’s Whorl Snail Vertigo geyeri has been recorded from three sites in Wales. However, surveys of Cors Erddreiniog SSSI in 2016 and of Cors Geirch SSSI in 2016 and 2017 failed to locate the snail. It was feared that V. geyeri had been lost from both sites but, as small populations of this tiny snail can easily be overlooked, it was felt premature to declare the snail as extinct and additional surveys were therefore undertaken at both sites in October 2019. The survey focussed upon two areas of potentially suitable habitat that had been recently surveyed; (1) an area of horse-grazed ‘Carex-lawn’ within the National Nature Reserve where V. geyeri had been reported in 1998 and (2) a series of base-rich flushes lying towards the western end of the National Nature Reserve last surveyed in 2016.

Surveys for Vertigo geyeri were undertaken on Cors Erddreiniog on 14th and 16th October 2019 (Figures 2 & 3) and on Cors Geirch (Figure 4) on 15th October 2019. Sampling relied primarily upon the well-established technique of selecting potentially suitable habitat and then removing sample material for later laboratory processing as this tiny snail is typically very difficult to locate in the field.
