the borneo river shark ( glyphis fowlerae ) is a species shark of the family carcharhinidae known only from the kinabatangan river in borneo .

it can reach a length of 78 centimetres ( 31 in ) .

reproduction is presumed to be viviparous .

only 13 specimens are known to science collected in 1996 .

expeditions in 2010 and 2011 failed to find any and while fishermen recognised the shark , they have not been seen for many years .

other members of the family found at the mouth of tropical rivers include bull sharks , speartooth sharks , irrawaddy river sharks , northern river sharks and ganges sharks .

they all can survive in both saltwater and freshwater .

genetic evidence has shown that both the borneo river shark and irrawaddy river shark ( g. siamensis ) should be regarded as synonyms of the ganges shark ( g. gangeticus ) .

however , an apparently undescribed species of glyphis shark is known from mukah in borneo , as well as bangladesh .

the status of a borneo specimen from sampit is unclear .

borneo river shark

the borneo river shark ( glyphis fowlerae ) is a small species that is thought to reach lengths of about 78 cm ( 31 inches ) . as the name suggests , they are found in borneo , specifically in the kinabatangan river .
a shark with black beady eyes and a blunt snout , long thought to be extinct , has been captured in a river in northern borneo , a conservation group announced thursday .
the borneo river shark is one of the rarest of the river shark species , and indeed possibly the rarest of any kind of shark . the species was long known from only a single specimen . in total , only 13 specimens of this species have ever been caught , all from fresh water , and the species was only finally described by science in 2010 . the habitat of the borneo river shark is believed to be extremely small , and thought to comprise just one stretch of the river near a small village .
until this discovery , the only known borneo river shark existed as a century - old specimen in a museum in vienna , austria . but earlier this year , villagers caught one in the kinabatangan river in the malaysian state of sabah on borneo island , the switzerland - based iucn - the world conservation union said .
heavy fishing and habitat degradation have occurred in the area where the lone specimen was caught , and not a single additional specimen has been found in nearly a hundred years , despite several concerted attempts to locate it . it seems that , as with the borneo river shark , there is a high likelihood that the irrawaddy river shark is extinct .
perhaps the one river shark that some might be familiar with is the ganges river shark ( glyphis gangeticus ) , which inhabits the hooghley and ganges river systems of india . the species is known exclusively from specimens captured in fresh water and there have been none found in marine or brackish environments .
scientists examined the young , 311 / 2 - inches - long female and identified it as a species of river shark . all four or five known river species worldwide are either highly endangered or already extinct .

unlike other species of river shark , the ganges river shark has the distinction of having gathered somewhat of a reputation for being a man - eater as there have been reports of indians bathing in the ganges river being attacked or killed by sharks . although it is certainly feasible that a ganges river shark might mistake the shape of a human for other prey and bite , it is unlikely that most attacks are the result of this species and it is probable that the culprits in these cases are bull sharks rather than ganges river sharks . bull sharks are known to be very aggressive man - eaters , and have a more adventurous appetite than the ganges river shark with its smaller , less formidable teeth and piscivorous lifestyle . it is thought by biologists that most , if not all such attacks on humans reported along the ganges river are probably carried out by bull sharks .

the speartooth shark ( glyphis glyphis ) , also known as the bizant river shark or queensland river shark , is native to river systems of northern australia and new guinea . it is so named for its unique teeth , which are only serrated near the tips in the lower jaw and are shaped like little spear tips , most likely for impaling and holding onto small , bony fish or other prey . it is a fairly large shark thought to reach lengths of around 2 . 5–3 m ( 8 . 2–10 ft ) . the shark is thought to mostly inhabit fresh water or brackish tropical rivers with fast currents and muddy bottoms . visibility in this environment is extremely poor and it is thought that the speartooth shark’s eyesight is poor .
fishing for shark toys in the bubbles ! surprise sea creatures in the bubbles .
certainly the rarest and most mysterious of the river sharks is the irrawaddy river shark ( glyphis siamensis ) of the irrawaddy river in myanmar . the species is known from only a single specimen caught in the 19 th century near the mangrove covered mouth of the irrawaddy river near rangoon . the specimen was a juvenile that measured 60cm ( 24 inches ) long . using the growth rate of similar sharks as a basis , it is estimated that the shark would have an adult length of around 1–3 m ( 3–10 ft ) .
the northern river shark ( glyphis garricki ) , is a large species of river shark that may reach up to 2 . 5 meters ( 8 . 2 feet ) and possibly up to 3m ( 10 feet ) in length that inhabits remote tidal rivers of australia’s northern territory , northern queensland , and papua new guinea , where the very first specimens were originally found .
the northern river shark is thought to mostly frequent brackish , low salinity waterways and make regular ventures into fresh water . the shark’s favored habitat is known for its turbid , murky water and low visibility , and thus it possesses unusually small eyes . to make up for its poor vision , the northern river shark has a higher than normal concentration of ampullae of lorenzini , which are special receptor organs that can detect the electrical fields of living creatures and help the shark locate prey in poor to zero visibility conditions . northern river sharks are thought to be piscivorous , as their teeth are rather narrow for their overall size and geared towards smaller prey such as small , bony fish .
in 2010 and 2011 , soon after the species was formally described , an expedition was sent to try and find more of these elusive sharks , yet the results were not promising . not only did the expedition fail to find a single specimen of the shark after an exhaustive search , but local fishermen claimed that the sharks hadn’t been seen or caught in the river in years . as such , there is the very real possibility that the borneo river shark is already extinct . although there have been efforts to preserve the species undertaken by conservation groups such as the tropical research and conservation centre , sadly it may very well be too little too late .
until the 1990s , the ganges river shark was known only from three museum specimens collected in the 19 th century . in 1996 , after nearly a decade of actively searching for living specimens , a few more ganges river sharks were captured and studied . these few specimens are all we have to go on and thus the ganges river shark remains mostly an enigma . the species is considered to be extremely rare , and is listed as critically endangered by the international union for conservation of nature ( iucn ) . it is unfortunate that the rare ganges river shark has such a menacing reputation among locals , since even the death of a single specimen at the hands of vindictive fishermen is a great loss of potential data on this largely mysterious species .
the ganges river shark shares its habitat with bull sharks , which are known to frequent the same river systems . indeed ganges river sharks were once thought to be merely bull sharks , but there are some key morphological differences that differentiate the two into separate species . whereas the upper teeth of the ganges river shark are broad , triangular , and serrated just as with those of bull sharks , the lower teeth are narrower and longer , with spear - like tips . this suggests that the ganges river shark is more totally devoted to a diet of fish , rather than the more varied diet of bull sharks . in addition , the ganges river shark has the unusual feature of eyes that tilt upward in their socket at an angle , which means they probably locate prey by staying near the bottom and spotting the silhouette of their quarry above whereas bull sharks have eyes that are angled laterally or downward and likely catch most of their prey on the bottom . these differences could mean that since the two species eat different food and catch prey at different levels of the water column , ganges river sharks and bull sharks likely don’t compete too much for food in habitats where they occur together .
the northern river shark was first discovered in 1986 and , like other river sharks , is very rare . it is only known from around 30 specimens collected over the years from a mere handful of scattered river systems , and estimates have suggested that possibly only around 250 mature individuals exist in the wild . due to its rarity , the northern river shark has been listed as a critically endangered species by the iucn red list . it is thought to be particularly vulnerable to damming and other water programs , which have become more common in the shark’s known habitats . in addition , the sharks are vulnerable to haphazard and illegal net fishing for other species in the areas they are known to inhabit . typically fishermen will catch the sharks by accident , kill them , and toss them overboard . although recovery projects have been proposed and implemented , the threat of habitat degradation and illegal fishing to the northern river shark is considered to be so grave that the species may become extinct before we ever learn much more about it .
the shark was first discovered as a museum specimen of a juvenile female and described in the early 19 th century . this remained the only specimen for the species until 1982 , when similar sharks were captured in the bizant river of australia . these bizant river sharks were not considered to be the same species as speartooth sharks at first , and were classified as a different species known simply as glyphis species a . it was only recently confirmed that the bizant river sharks are synonymous with speartooth sharks by researchers leonard compagno , william white , and peter last .
although there are of course physical differences between them , one trait that all river sharks share is their extreme rarity . these are among the rarest of sharks , indeed among the rarest of animals , period . many species of river shark are known only from a few specimens and one is known only from a single holotype . they are so rare that virtually nothing is known of their behavior and ecology other than that they inhabit fresh water .
the iucn ' s shark specialist group had been working in sabah since january 1996 , in conjunction with the state ' s department of fisheries .
here we will look at what little we know about each of the known species of fresh water river sharks and learn about these rare , miraculous creatures .
the existence of only a single holotype specimen has created much controversy over the years as to the shark’s true classification . it was originally described as carcharias siamensis by the austrian ichthyologist franz steindachner , but this was challenged in later years . many ichthyologists argued that the original specimen was merely an abnormal or deformed bull shark rather than a separate species , but shark systematist leonard j . v . compagno classified it as its own species within glyphis in 2005 . the shark has thus come to be known as glyphis siamensis , but there is still some uncertainty and debate as to how it should be classified .
the river sharks are in trouble , with some of these species likely already extinct . it is somewhat sad to think that these majestic creatures which prowl the freshwater rivers of the world without anyone even knowing they are there may disappear forever before anyone ever finds out . without serious conservation efforts , the river sharks will die out and their mysteries will die with them .
most of the river shark species found so far are known only from freshwater specimens and it is thought that they are either fully freshwater creatures or possibly euryhaline , meaning they are able to tolerate a broad range of salinity levels . most of the known species of river shark are of the family carcharhinidae , and all but one comprise their own genus , glyphis . they are most closely related to whaler sharks of the genus carcharhinus , with which they share the same overall morphology , including a short , broad snout , that is shorter than the mouth is wide , widely spaced nostrils , small , dark eyes , and broad serrated upper teeth . they are robustly built , with a high back that swoops down to the broad , rounded snout .
arguably the most iconic animal in our oceans , borneo’s sharks are a huge draw for divers from all over the world . whilst there are still areas with healthy populations , sharks worldwide are under threat as a direct result of the shark fin soup industry . in this special episode 20 of borneo from below , bertie gets up close and personal with these majestic animals and takes a look at what’s being done to save them . presenter : aaron “bertie” gekoski director / videographer : will foster - grundy , chris tan & christian loader editor : jack adams & will foster - grundy more information on the producers : http : / / www . scubazoo . com more information on the series : http : / / www . borneofrombelow . com like us on facebook urltoken follow us on instagram urltoken follow us on twitter urltoken with thanks to : urltoken urltoken urltoken urltoken footage ©scubazoo http : / / www . scubazoo . com music used under license from audio network urltoken track name : another chance artist : bob bradley / matt sanchez / sarah wassell track name : so in love with you artist : jason pedder / ben ziapour track name : silent emotions artist : terry devine - king / oliver jackson / lucas owenson / mark james track name : smooth talk artist : barrie gledden / ed collins / peter shand track name : sunshine smile artist : barrie gledden / steve dymond / jason pedder / chris bussey track name : into the fast lane artist : bob bradley / steve dymond / matt sanchez photo credits : mars landscape : urltoken jurcut mars planet : urltoken satria fish and chips : urltoken p shark fin soup : urltoken to license any of this footage please contact stockfootage @ scubazoo . com .
this species is only known from a few juvenile specimens and no adults have been caught , which makes it difficult to accurately discern the speartooth shark’s true size , behavior , or even its preferred habitat when fully grown . it is thought to be very rare and critically endangered .

the river sharks represent a fascinating group of animals that we know next to nothing about . all of the species here are known from only a handful of specimens and are only very rarely caught or observed in the wild , making it exceedingly difficult to study them or gain any insight into their feeding habits , reproductive characteristics , lifestyles , or even how many of them there truly are .
one thing that is known is that there are not many of these mysterious fresh water sharks left , and their habitats are being degraded at an astonishing rate . sharks in particular are sensitive to such pressures , as they are known for their small litter sizes , long gestation , and slow growth and rate of maturity , which all means that even small amounts of overfishing , pollution , or other habitat degradation can have devastating effects on their populations . the river sharks are likely no different , with the added complication that they are so confined to limited , smaller , more specialized habitats . many of the tropical rivers or estuaries in which these river sharks are found are prone to pollution , rampant overfishing , and other human interference such as the building of dams , the clearing of mangroves , or the redirection of water flow .
with their gaping maws full of jagged , sharp teeth , sharks are some of the most feared creatures of the water . however , most people see these frightening creatures as being strictly confined to the oceans . don’t go to the beach and no sharks , right ? however , despite all that you may think you know about sharks , it may surprise you that there are several species that can be found in fresh water . many people may already be aware of the disturbing tendency for bull sharks to tolerate and even thrive in freshwater environments , but fewer people know that there are actually whole species of sharks that have evolved to live exclusively in freshwater rivers . these are the enigmatic , very little understood , exceedingly rare river sharks .

i det avancerade verktyget kan man söka ut och få fram artlistor , t ex arter i ett visst län , i en viss biotop , substrat , som påverkas av en hotfaktor , eller som är knutna till en sk värdart , t ex trädet alm . dessa kan även kombineras .
söka fram arter som är rödlistade , knutna till alm , är beroende av död ved och som finns i kronobergs län .
söka fram arter som är rödlistade , lever i småvatten och som påverkas negativt av igenväxning .
defaultläget i verktyget är arter som är rödlistade 2015 och dessa är klassade på samtliga sökfaktorer . under fliken rödlistekategori kan man dock välja att även inkludera arter som inte är rödlistade . om man väljer att inkludera icke rödlistade arter behöver man vara medveten om att samtliga arter inte är klassade på samtliga faktorer . nedan en sammanställning av vad som är komplett .
denna funktion används när du vill skapa din egen lista av arter att hantera . du kan t . ex . navigera mellan arterna i listan genom att klicka på deras namn . du kan också välja att använda knappen ”jämför arter” för att se bilder , kartor och kännetecken i en jämförelsevy .
du kan komponera ditt eget urval av arter genom att klicka dig fram via släktträdet och där välja arter eller artgrupper till din lista . ett annat sätt att göra ditt urval är att använda fliken ”filtrera” , där du kan söka på olika egenskaper . ovanför listan med sökresultatet finns en knapp ”lägg i mitt urval” .

scroll down and rollover titles to change screen image or click on title to view image .
species found on the side of a pontoon at newlyn marina , newlyn , cornwall . 01 . 10 . 14 . species could have been brought here by sailing or fishing vessels .
here i must thank dr . keith alexander for confirming the species as it was a first record for cornwall .
aphotofauna supports open source data recording and sharing for the benefit of wildlife , recorders , research , science and education . the project works closely with the following bodies and organisations .
the cisfbr or cornwall and isles of scilly federation of biological recorders is an independent umbrella organisation supporting independent recorders and recording groups in the county of cornwall .
the cornish biodiversity network or cbn is the largest open source wildlife database in cornwall that sends open source data to the nbn ( national biodiversity network ) . it is a new recording system based on the erica database , the largest recording resource in cornwall . the cbn best supports the activities and needs of the independent recording community and recording groups in cornwall .
the national biodiversity network or nbn is a charity that supports open source data sharing and recording supporting conservation , science and education .
why do recorders need open source ?
. simply because it supports the core values of wildlife recording and the free use of records and data over a very wide network that includes partners like the natural history museum .
the main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography . to increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it . sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species .

i ' ve been very bad lately , spending far too much time outside of my square , gallavanting around the countryside with the skye nature group / skye botany group chaps . seen some good stuff though , and a handful of lifers too . but none of that is getting me closer to the 1000 mark for ng3963 .
thankfully i ' ve the trusty ol ' light trap doing the hard work for me . cheating really , i know . but everybody else does it , so . . .
. . . and burnished brass ( f . aurea ) with the lights on !
hmmm , i could probably take a little more time and place these moths on a slightly more photogenic background .
not much else been happening lately . yearlist for the 1ksq is up to 984 species , so i should smash the 1000 barrier next time i have a decent day in the field . rupert higgins of bristol managed 1002 species by 15th july in the 2013 challenge ( he held the record as the fastest 1000 before ali and tim went berserk this year ) so my aim is to beat that . nineteen new species in just over a week , that should be do - able . absolutely no use trying to keep up with the big guns this year though , i ' ve already settled for third place on the podium ( he says . . . )
i ' ve been listening to a lot of covers on youtube lately , but sometimes you just have to revert back to form and listen to the originals . this is one of the best there is , in my opinion . there ' s probably a banjo cover somewhere , or a bunch of ridiculously talented ten year old kids giving it their all , but here ' s the original for you to enjoy . if you like this kinda stuff !
most of those 17 . 3million views were me , ha ! gotta love the wee fella on the claves , the girl doing the singing is now quite rightly heading a band and the nutter on the drums - he ' s just extraordinary ! ! !
bsbi recorder stephen bungard had chartered a boat out of elgol across to the island of soay and i , along with nine other gung - ho types , were booked on the morning sailing . firstly i was very excited by the possibility of encountering real live soay sheep on their home turf , and secondly we were landing by dinghy - also very exciting ! unfortunately , there are two islands named soay and it ' s the other one that has the endemic breed of sheep . arse .
i ' m a firm believer in the use of car bumpers and that 1 . 5 tonnes of vehicle will soon scatter a flock of sauntering sheep . unfortunately ( or maybe fortunately ) this was not my car and i wasn ' t the one driving . plus the crofter was watching everything , i ' m almost certain he ' d take exception to his flock being driven over . ho - hum , it ' s a good job we ' re not in any hurry to catch a boat . . .
i love being on the sea and the boat crossing was ace . i leaned forward on the rail looking out towards mysterious soay , home of no feral sheep , probably in much the same manner as that crazy spaniel we ' ve all seen hanging out of a car window , ears flapping in the wind and tongue lolling crazily . well , i managed to keep my tongue in my mouth ( at least i think i did . . ) but it was all very exciting anyway , with many moon jellyfish and a few lion ' s mane jellyfish passing beneath us as we sped onwards . no cetaceans seen , though a common seal and a few commic terns almost made up for it .
we were shuttled ashore via dinghy , two at a time . i was in the second crossing
nick ' moss man chronicles ' hodgetts immediately set off to the far end of the island in search of bryophytes . we never saw him again until ten minutes before the boat reappeared to shuttle us back again . . . by which time he was quite hilariously sunburnt and looking somewhat dehydrated and worse for wear . i really ought to have taken a pic .
we began by slowly working our way towards the buildings . there are more houses than residents nowadays , there being just three full time soay folk increasing to about six in the summertime . there ' s a tiny , closed - down school building and i imagine that even in it ' s heyday absences from class would not have gone unnoticed . poor kids .
stephen had a hitlist of plants that had previously been recorded either from soay itself , or at least from the hectad that soay sits within . missing species included such delightful rarities as sycamore , groundsel , cow parsley , creeping thistle , pineappleweed and scots pine . none of which we were able to refind . none !
we did , however , manage to refind oval sedge , small - fruited yellow - sedge and common couch as well as finding red currant , long - bracted sedge and entire - leaved cotoneaster entirely new for the tetrad . there was also a puzzling rose bush with adjacent rose hips exhibiting glandular hairs and no hairs at all . . . plus it smelled of apple ! weird , presumably a downy rose hybrid of sorts . i think stephen is seeking outside help regards the id of this plant .
by now it was approaching easily 50 degrees c in the shade and life as we know it was getting difficult . i swiped a damselfly with my net but the heat was making me dizzy and i failed to focus the camera properly . either that or the lens had melted
we saw quite a few of these , plus a handful of large red damselflies , a few common blue - tailed damselflies , a golden - ringed dragonfly and several common darters . i say ' common darter ' , but there ' s a bit more to it than that .
common darter is an extremely widespread species across europe , parts of north africa and extending throughout asia all the way to japan . in britain it has been split into two subspecies : sympetrum striolatum striolatum throughout england , wales and the southern / interior / eastern areas of scotland and sympetrum striolatum nigrescens along the atlantic coasts of ireland and scotland as well as on the isle of man ( and norway ) . s . s . nigrescens also appears not to migrate , contrary to the nominate race .
s . s . nigrescens has , in the past , been split into a different species from the nominate race , it being colloquially known as the highland darter sympetrum nigrescens . physical differences are that the black on the bodyparts is more extensive , the black on the frons extends further down the side of the eye , the sides of the thorax are far more black than in nominate and typically enclose several small , discrete pale patches and the black on the abdomen is also far more extensive . there are subtle yet distinct differences in the genitalia of both the male and the female . it ' s quite possibly a good species , i don ' t know the latest thoughts but dna analysis should end any debate . anyway , here ' s a pic that shows the hugely extensive darkening of the thorax and slightly more extensive black on the frons . note also that the femurs appear to be entirely black and lack the yellow stripe of the nominate race .
i really wilt in the heat . i had the chance to move to nicaragua some years back , but the heat ( as well as the godawful music ) soon changed my mind . amazing place though , if i ever overcome the overheating issue i ' d love to go back someday . i still need that damned quetzel , for starters .
by the time the boat came chugging into view i was spent . i lay sprawled across the hard cobbles and almost fell asleep . i think i actually did briefly drop off as we were heading back towards elgol . me and heat , not a great mix . i suspect stephen was a little disappointed with the small number of additions / refinds we managed on soay . but at least we all now have a working knowledge of what a chrysops looks ( and feels ) like . in case you were wondering about the title of this blog , the answer is human blood .
i know , i know , you ' re all desperate to hear about the adventures of the league of extraordinary gentlemen as happened last weekend when ali , pete and tim arrived for intense psling action . but you ' ll just have to wait ( no really , you ' ll just have to ! ) because i ' m all abuzz with today ' s excitement and no longer suffering from sleep deprivation .
today , skye nature group were off to talisker bay in search of moths and butterflies , plus whatever else we could find . i was completely blown away with the scenery , more reminiscent of wading through the everglades or coto donana than of being in north - west scotland !
we were wading through the iris beds on a narrow strip of land sandwiched between a low - lying rushy area to our left and a burn filled with brown trout to our right . we encountered a family of spotted flycatchers and then had great views of a family of noisy sedge warblers in the trees we were following .
we followed the river down to the beach , where it formed a small lagoon - cut off from the sea by a wall of shingle . i spied several puddles of wriggliness at the water ' s edge . a closer look revealed thousands of toadlets / tadpoles
a solid writhing mass , some were taking their first tentative steps onto dry land , others had a way to go yet .
a small yacht sat moored just offshore , the slightest of breezes helped cool our sweating brows , the sand felt divine beneath my feet . absolutely bloody glorious , skye just keeps on getting better and better and better ! ! !
but we had a certain set of targets to find , so we set off towards a known area for a couple of very desirable moths .
within just a few minutes colin pointed at a burnet , i swung my net and missed . another burnet careened closer , i missed that one too . eventually though , i had a burnet in the net from whence it was swiftly transferred into a tube for perusal .
talisker burnet is actually a subspecies of narrow - bordered five - spot burnet , one that only occurs on skye ( and then at only a handful of sites ) . it ' s actually a red data book species , as such it is protected by law . we noted the five red spots on each forewing and quickly let it go again . over the next couple of hours we saw several more , including this fine individual on a marsh thistle
i could hear grasshopper noise coming from just upslope . a bit of sweep netting and i bagged a male and female common green grasshopper for folks to view
six - spot burnet , second of the talisker set to fall . note the six ( partly conjoined ) red spots on the forewing
so that ' s three species of burnets in one small area . what else is up here , i wonder . . .
i was stunned to learn quite how small dew moths are , i thought they were the size of a white ermine . nope , not at all , more like a big tort than an ermine ! deirdre snared the first dew moth of the day straight out of the air with her net , top skills . unfortunately she kind of fumbled the potting process , luckily we saw at least a dozen more whilst in the zone . phew , i admit that i harboured doubts that we ' d connect . as it turned out we connected again and again and again . sweet .
we also saw lots of butterflies , a single painted lady that briefly settled on unopened hemp agrimony heads before shooting almost vertically up and over a cliff ! several red admirals and numerous common blues brightened up the air . a pair of graylings whooshed up and down the slope , one deigning to settle on a lichen - clad rock but quickly zoomed off before we could attempt to capture an image .
also of interest were a handful of plumes fluttering through the sward . i caught a couple , they both proved to be thyme plume merrifieldia leucodactyla , i suspect that ' s what they all were
i missed witnessing this , but apparently a cleg flew straight into a web , was rapidly bound up in silk and sucked dry there and then . ' oh dear , what a pity , never mind ' was the phrase that immediately popped into my head . . . i potted one of the clegs that i swatted , turned out to be the seemingly ubiquitous haematopota pluvialis , of course .
we headed back inland across sheep pastures rather than brave the ditch of despair once more . not very productive from a wildlife point of view , but fantastic views of the lazy beds that dominate the slopes in this part of the world . life , it would seem , was hard work in years gone by .
these things breed here . i think they were expecting handouts , the way they were menacing me !
tomorrow i ' m off to soay with the skye botany group . i was full of high hopes of seeing the eponymous sheep , but a quick bit of googling revealed that there are two islands named soay , one has the sheep and the other i ' m due to visit tomorrow . bugger . as an aside , we watched an adult white - tailed eagle wheeling high over a cliff as we departed talisker . sorry pete , honest it wasn ' t deliberate .
i couldn ' t actually finish watching this next song , but it ' s pretty funny for about the first 30 seconds . mountain dew ( moth ) coming your way , dear reader . buckle up . . . .
this worker tree wasp dolicho v espula sylvestris was busily battering itself against the inside of my patio door yesterday . then it caught itself in a spider ' s web before landing in an undignified heap on the carpet . all this despite the fact that it ' s a double patio door and the other door , two feet to the right , was wide open . clearly there ' s no helping some insects . . . but help it i did . i gently potted it up and released it on the decking . i say
released
, more a case of flicking it out the end of the pot to land , once again , in an undignified heap . it then spent some time cleaning itself
two points strike me . firstly it seems that all of our social wasps have a yellow patch on the side of the body , just below and ahead of the wing bases . yet this one doesn ' t . perhaps it ' s actually an mi5 micro - drone , in which case they clearly they need more professional hymenopterists working for them . or maybe it ' s a terminator wasp sent back from the future , in which case you ' d think they ' d know about how patio doors work .
secondly , this is clearly a fastidious insect and is fully intent on cleansing itself from whatever muck it has recently been through . as i see it , the antennae and eyes are the main sensory organs , hence need to be kept in good condition , so why does it repeatedly drag its legs across the hairy mesoscutum ( fancy terminology for its back ) ? surely the mesoscutum itself doesn ' t need preening , does it ? so , my assumption is that the long hairs across the mesoscutum are used to brush clean the tarsal segments of the forelegs , which are in turn used to do the real cleaning .
to be completely honest , i ' m just pleased with myself for not running over the horizon , screaming like a girl at the sight of a wasp . i ' ve come a long way this past ten years or so , so i have . . .
in other news , i found this small moth in the woods today . rubbish pics , of course , but i ' m thinking it may be
edit : now confirmed as m . locupletella , still waiting to hear if it ' s a first for skye .
i ' ve whacked the pics up on the skye moths fb group , they ' ve still yet to be ' seen ' by the two moth expert heavyweights ( keith the cmr and nigel the moth guru ) but i feel hopeful that i ' ve got it right . which would make it my fourth new for skye moth this year .
last bit of big news is that pete , tim and ali are all arriving here in uig this friday . which is in . . . um . . . just three more days ' time ! i ' m so madly excited . i had john martin pop into my square for maybe 20 mins last year , though he had a dozen or so wildflower society bods with him at the time , and i had tony come up in march for a whole week , but other than that i ' ve been without any psl buddies whatsoever . i ' ve had contact with pete , tim and ali via faceslap and emails , but i ' ve never actually met any of them before . hence i ' m really looking forward to friday and introductions . then it ' s straight down to the nitty gritty of showing them shitloads of new stuff for their lists ! hopefully nick hodgetts will join us for an hour or two , i know that ali in particular is keen to get to grips with a few more bryophytes .
through no fault of my own , tonight ' s music swings back to wasp , even though you had them only a couple of weeks back , sometimes life sucks - get over it , but for fate it could be you stuck on the wrong side of a patio door .
also , whilst we ' re deep in 90s power ballads , this one is for the wee 6ft 2
waitress at work who just got dumped by her first true love , may he rot in rancid sheep dip for all eternity . . .
on 10th june last year i took part in a 24 - hour psl bioblitz challenge , midnight to midnight with the object of recording as many wild species as humanly possible before time ran out . there were several teams across the country , but i was the only participant going solo and the only one to restrict themselves to a single 1km square . i like to be different , y ' see . . .
anyway , on last year ' s attempt it was cold , windy and it rained for 16 or 17 of the 24 hours . this year it rained the lightest drizzle for a short while before dawn , then cleared and ended up a relatively cool morning into the middle part of the day before turning decidedly warm by late afternoon / early evening . personally speaking , i start to flag in the heat so these conditions suited me well . unfortunately , i neglected to go to bed the previous night , so my energy levels relied on a steady stream of red bull , relentless , chocolate bars and coffee . i sugar rushed my way through to about 2pm then hit a wall . at 5pm i returned to the hotel for staff dinner , had a shower , changed into fresh clothes and hit the square feeling a whole lot fresher . at about 9pm i retired to my room to tackle a few mystery specimens in pots and to go through the many images i ' d taken with my camera . i collapsed into sleep around 1am , some 42 hours after waking up . by heck , it sure was a great feeling peeling off my socks and boots after 21 hours in the field .
quick change of plans , i figured i needed to answer a call of nature before setting off into the wilds . a ' hem . . . but it wasn ' t wasted time , we hardcore pslers are always primed and ready for recording , and the best of us can find stuff in the most unlikely of places . even , as in this particular instance , whilst sitting on a toilet seat . . .
naturally , i had my light trap running in the back garden . in strict disobedience of last year ' s rules i ' d turned it on ahead of the start of the 24 hour period . sod it , i didn ' t check it until after midnight , so what ' s the difference ? i had a star moth in the trap , yet i didn ' t know that at the time and hence only took a single crappy record shot . i wish i ' d have posed it nicely , but i didn ' t realise the significance until later the next day .
i headed out into the woods with my torch and net , all kitted out and ready for action . plenty of moths flying around , unfortunately they all seemed to be of just one species ,
. i tried to ignore the plants everywhere , telling myself that they ' d still be there in daylight and that i needed to concentrate on finding inverts . the female
was still in her web in the corner of the shop window , seemingly still the only skye record for this spider . the track through the woods was absolutely littered with huge great slugs , the vast majority being large
thrown in for good measure . on tree trunks i added several lichens along with plenty of
suddenly i realised that i was no longer alone in the woods , i could hear footsteps sneaking about on the gravel track quite close by . i instantly killed the torch and froze , wondering how best to tackle whoever it was trying to creep up on me . i had my net handle , could be a useful weapon . i had my torch , i could suddenly dazzle them in the face and make my move . and then we met , face to face and all alone in the middle of the woods
wild and wary , just wish i could have gotten a bit closer . . .
i think i must be the only person in uig who hasn ' t seen a hedgehog in the woods at one time or another . i was beginning to think everybody was having a big joke with me . well , it may have taken me almost 18 months , but i ' ve certainly seen one now !
it was getting lighter all the time , i barely needed my torch by 3am and it wasn ' t long before robins and song thrushes added themselves to the tally , tawny owls , oystercatchers and a noisy grey heron being the only birds heard in the darkness .
i headed back to the hotel , checked a few bits i ' d potted up and took another look at the light trap . no more surprises , though a huge male poplar hawkmoth was a lovely addition to the tally alongside the first rivulet i ' ve recorded here
species no 143 : poplar hawk - been getting a few of these lately . or the same one over and over again .
after a brief indoors interlude , i was straight back out and into the woods once more - this time in daylight . a cuckoo called from somewhere up on the hillside , they ' ve been a bit sporadic of late and i ' d worried about missing them entirely , so it was a relief to hear one so early into the challenge . as it happens i heard them throughout the day .
i suddenly realised that the alder i ' d just walked by was covered in bits of white fluff . . . what ? ? ? a closer inspection revealed lots of woolly aphids . an even closer inspection revealed them to be psyllids not aphids . woolly psyllids ? that ' s a new one on me !
staying with psyllids for the moment , a good hard stare into a patch of rosebay willowherb soon turned up this wee chappie .
low tide wasn ' t until 1227hrs , it was still only just about 6am . nevertheless i took a quick wander along the water ' s edge and added a fistful of common seaweeds and watched
swimming in the shallow water . i entered uig wood again and spent a bit of time lifting stones and boulders in search of molluscs , beetles , crustaceans and flatworms . unfortunately this was not a very profitable use of my time , after nearly three weeks without rain even the undersides of part - buried rocks were dry . i don ' t know where the inverts i sought found shelter , but it wasn ' t beneath the rocks i checked , though i did find a few bits and bobs . i did see quite a few leafmines though including several that i haven ' t recorded here before .
i took myself back down to the shore seeing as the tide was finally heading out . much turning of boulders added some good littoral stuff including the centipede
i then spent a good long while searching for fish beneath rocks . and by heck i found them too , including two species completely new to the square ! plenty of butterfish and shore rocklings , these being the usual suspects that i find here . bizarrely i ' ve never had a blenny here , but that all changed as i heaved one large stone over - yes ! finally ! i ' ve never been so excited to see a blenny , so excited in fact that i forgot to take a pic of it . . . happily i managed to catch and pot the next new fish , though i hadn ' t a clue as to what it was at the time . the hugely long second dorsal had me completely flummoxed , and it was only after zooming in on the photo ' s afterwards that i noticed and counted the barbels - that ' s when the penny finally dropped !
species no 427 : the smallest five - bearded rockling i have ever seen . so cute !
i headed up the river conon and into the chasm of doom . the river is running very low at the moment and it didn ' t take much searching to find several brown trout in a deeper pool and a male three - spined stickleback holding territory over his nest . various new plants , bryophytes and aquatic inverts were quickly added including polycelis felina ( a flatworm ) and electrogena lateralis nymphs ( a mayfly ) plus lots of river limpets . a flyby dipper was a real bonus , i hadn ' t realised they were resident here , presumably breeding just upstream of my square , probably up by the waterfall .
possibly my biggest ' miss ' of the day was portevenia maculata , the ramsons hoverfly . i found it new to skye last year , new to the western highlands , in fact . just a few days back i counted over thirty of them in the carpets of ramsons that cover the valley floor here . today i noted the ramsons , i noted the associated fungi puccinia sessilis and botryotinia globosa but not a sniff of the fly . i even did a bit of sweep netting . nada . truly bizzare .
i clambered my way up the southern face of the gorge , it ' s actually quite difficult now that the vegetation has grown up , i almost fell off a couple of times ! once at the top i emerged into blazing sunshine and associated heat ( off with the jumper ! ) and was straight into invert action with various hoverflies sunning on ivy leaves . i ' m amazed that it ' s taken up until now to see it , but finally episyrphus balteatus fell for the year , alongside dayticks syrphus ribesii , eristalis pertinax , eristalis horticola , helophilus pendulus and calliphora vomitoria ( a surprisingly late entry at number 466 ) . two rooks high overhead were a good addition , i ' d probably have missed them if they hadn ' t been calling .
eventually i descended back down to the hotel for dinner , a shower , a change of clothes and duly departed with a much needed burst of renewed energy . i ' d been avoiding the
bog area until now , i fully anticipated a fresh suite of additions to the tally . what i wasn ' t expecting were the clouds of hungry horseflies that descended on me as soon as i set foot into the grazing lands that surround the bog . it transpires that the cattle have been moved elsewhere leaving an entire swarm of
in a desperate search of blood . oh lucky , lucky me . . .
however , the bog is a very good habitat ( even if it is looking decidedly dry at the moment ) and i was soon racking up new species including these beauties .
i had at least four horseflies on me when i took this pic , which is why it ' s somewhat squiffy and out of focus . i even managed to hit myself in the head with my own net several times whilst using it as a giant fly swatter . horsefly bites don ' t actually hurt , it ' s just a small sharp jabby feeling ( though technically they saw through your skin rather than jab with a proboscis ) but i just don ' t like them . i could have let them take their fill , but through sheer numbers they could have bled me dry . so i swatted and swiped and repeatedly hit myself in the face and eventually scampered off in a quite undignified manner . today i learned that the lady down the shop lives in the house that overlooks the bog . she was watching me seemingly catching all sorts of flying insects with my awesome net skillz . nope , i was just swatting at clouds of horseflies , but thanks . . .
just above the bog is a natural outcropping of stone amogst the grazing pasture . it has field gentian ( couldn ' t see any though - probably too early ) and a few other nice plants , so i gave it a bit of time . i found these
i ' ve still to key these through properly , but they look like swedish whitebeams to me . one for another day .
finally i saw a butterfly , just one mind you , a green - veined white . it was soon followed by a four - spotted chaser and a few large red damselflies . still no grasshoppers though , which i find mightily strange . i had intended to grab a water sample from the ditch , but it was dried up . in fact , i manged to walk across what is ordinarily quite a deep water - filled ditch . no idea if the tadpoles managed to make it to froglet stage before their home dried out . i didn ' t see any .
