Saproxylic Invertebrates Survey Data at Gilfach Radnorshire Wildlife Trust Reserve in 2022
A survey of the dead wood (saproxylic) invertebrate fauna of the Gilfach Nature Reserve, which is owned and managed by the Radnorshire Wildlife Trust (RWT), was undertaken over four man-days in 2022. This work is part of the Natur am Byth! Partnership project, which aims to promote the recovery of selected key species in Wales. The Gilfach survey involved both a range of hand-searching techniques and the installation of five vane traps that were operated between May and September. The survey has shown Gilfach to support a diverse invertebrate fauna that includes a number of scarce species.

Four days’ fieldwork were undertaken at Gilfach over five days in 2022. These visits were on 24th May, 21st June, 29th July, 15th September and 22nd December. The main focus of recording effort has been on dead wood beetles, which make up the largest and most important element of the specialist saproxylic fauna. Five vane traps were set up at each site during the May visit, with details of the location and siting of these being provided in Table 2 below. In May, beating flowering Hawthorn was a major focus of sampling effort. Additionally, on all visits much time has been spent beating foliage and dead branches of mature and veteran trees and hand-searching under bark and in heart-rot of veteran trees. During the September visit, the vane traps were emptied and removed and sampling effort focused on hand-searching saproxylic fungi. The December visit aimed to search for northern-distributed saproxylic species that are known to have occurred in the upland oak woods on the fringes of the Cambrian Mountains.
