EMN 2021 - Popis poleg smetišča Barje - pon 6 sep

To je prvi moj popis kot uradni popisovalec in ne kot obiskovalec na EMN. Zaradi tega sem imel samo malo več obveznosti, saj sem moral čakat na dogovorjen mestu in času. Za popis sem sem si izbral lokacijo zraven smetišča Barje, kjer ima herpatološko društvo zakupljene parcele in vabijo strokovnjake vseh živalskih skupin da popisujejo.

Dovozni poti z rdečo in Kajine piramide v vijolični, ter moje v modri barvi 

Začele se je malo kaotično, saj me varnostniki spet niso spustili čez smetišče. K sreči je Kaja, ki se mi je tudi pridružila z svojimi piramidami, poznala drugo pot. Ponovno se nam je pridružil Igor, ki je z nami bil že v četrtek. Ter sodelavec Luka in njegova prijatelja Katja in Tim, za njih je to bil prvi nočni popis metujev. Zaradi spremebe zbrinega mesta in zmede ki je temu sledila, sem postavljal piramide v temi kakšno uro kasneje. Bila je topla noč in iz bližnjega smetišča je močno zaudarjalo, sam so se naši nosovi kaj hitro navadili. Zaradi drugega habita je bilo precej novih vrst zame, skupaj 77.

EMN 2021 otvoritev na jarških prodih - čet 2 sep

Po enoletni prekinitvi EMN-ja zaradi virusa, so popisi spet nazaj. Zbrala smo se predvsem poznani metuljarji Barbara,Nika, Kaja in Stane. Glavni popisovalec je bil Stane Gomboc, ugleden mednarodni in slovenski strokovnjak za nočne metulje. Na novo se nam je pridružil Igor, biolog ki ga zanimajo predvsem mušice.

Zaradi osebnih stvari sem lahko popisoval samo slabi dve uri. Zaradi tega je imam precej manjše število vrst, kot se pričakuje za konec poletja, okoli 80. Kljub temu sem prispeval nekaj vrst k skupnem seštevku.

Mothing in Őrség national park with Peter Davey - sat 24 jul

I regularly use data from Goričko park moth report 2015 made by Peter Davey to check species presence in Slovenija. The report is great, but it's of course without raw data, it will be just too long otherwise. So I tried my luck and contacted Dorset moth group, to get in touch with Peter and ask for raw data. Not only Peter kindly responded and gladly shared all his data from 2014-2018 for Goričko, I was also pleasantly surprised that he lives just a kilometer from Slovenian border in Hungary and still actively surveys moths for Őrség national park. Peter is moths and butterflies expert who started collecting and recording moths in England from his teenage years and also started Dorset moth group. He also greatly contributed to Butterfly atlas of Goricko and Őrség.

Once border restrictions were lifted Peter invited me to his survey, he suggested a location near Őrimagyarósd (Q. cerris, B. pubescens, J. communis, P. pyraster, P. tremula, etc.)  where he recorded 306 (165 macros) three weeks before with three lights (250W MQ and 2x36W blacklight). I think this is astonishing, because I only heard of few surveys above 150 species in Slovenia. 

Unremarkable location but rich in bio diversity

So this saturday i went. At first, we meet at Peter's house which he shares with his lovely partner Carola and drank a cup of proper English tea. At night there were huge numbers of moths on light and sugar bates. Peter recorded over 270 species and also showed me what to photograph, but there were so many different species of moths that my battery on camera went out. At one o'clock at night thunder was getting louder and closer, so we quickly packed up.

Thank again to Peter for a great night and for sharing his extensive knowledge and methods with me.
