The status and distribution of Lilljeborg’s Whorl Snail Vertigo lilljeborgi at Pont Croesor on the Afon Glaslyn in 2022
Results of a monitoring survey in August 2022 for the Near Threatened Lilljeborg’s Whorl Snail Vertigo lilljeborgi within Glaslyn SSSI are presented. The area surveyed is north of Pont Croesor on the Afon Glaslyn. Judged to be in Unfavourable condition after the last survey in July 2008 (Willing, 2009), the present survey over two days in August repeated the previous survey. The wetland habitats remain visually very similar to those described in 2008 and weather and river level conditions were similar. All 8 sites were revisited and sampled by visual search, beating vegetation, and collecting bulk samples of decaying plant matter. A 9th site was sampled near Site 7, the point at which V. lilljeborgi was last recorded in 2008. A suction sampler was used in 5 additional locations between sites on the east bank. A total of 12 adults of V. lilljeborgi was found at Site 7 and Site 8, confirming that the species survives on both sides of the Afon Glaslyn, although it is still apparently restricted to small areas. Two juvenile Vertigo were also found at Site 6. These could not be unambiguously identified as V. lilljeborgi, owing to the presence of another species, Vertigo antivertigo, nearby. All Vertigo specimens were found in large bulk samples that had been dried and sieved. No Vertigo were observed in the field, emphasising the importance of multiple sampling methods. Using the Conservation Objective Lower Limit of 10 individuals set by Willing (2009), V. lilljeborgi is judged to be in Favourable condition within Glaslyn SSSI in August 2022. Nonetheless, the population only just exceeds the Lower Limit, and remains small and potentially vulnerable. Further sampling in the areas around Pont Croesor could help determine whether V. lilljeborgi is more widespread on the Afon Glaslyn floodplain.
