The origins of this document date back to an audit carried out in May 2003, with John Goldsmith 

(the Biological Records Officer at the time), Pat Lorber, and the then Biodiversity Co-ordinator, 

Paul Wilkinson. A table was produced charting the required elements for an audit, including the 

number of records and other possible sources of new information, which has been updated as 

new records were obtained and added into the database. 

The task was continued by Pat Lorber, particularly once the new BAP list, adding hundreds of 

species, was published in June 2007. Chris Jones undertook the revision for the invertebrates, 

fish and marine mammals, and undertook some analysis work. Scott Perkin reviewed the draft 

extensively, added the Norfolk Action Plans, and as always contributed useful suggestions. 

The County Recorders were consulted and many made substantial contributions, which are very 

much appreciated. Their specialist knowledge adds greatly to the usefulness of the document.

1. INTRODUCTION 

NORFOLK BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN 

SPECIES DATA AUDIT 

The Norfolk Biodiversity Information Service (NBIS) has a crucial role to play in the development 

and implementation of the Norfolk Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP). The records and data provided 

by NBIS are not only important for the preparation of Species and Habitat Action Plans, but also, 

for the establishment of baselines, the assessment of trends, and the evaluation of progress. In 

recognition of this central role, this paper seeks to: 

• Summarise the available records held by NBIS on BAP species and point towards other 

sources of information; 

• Provide an assessment of which BAP species are currently present in the county, or have 

historically occurred here; 

• Identify any particular gaps in our knowledge of BAP species occurrence; 

• Suggest priorities for future research and survey. 

It is our wish to make the document as comprehensive and useful to as many individuals and 

organisations as possible. In this regard, the paper is intended as a draft for further refinement 

through discussion with the members of the Biodiversity Partnership, County Recorders, and other 

interested parties. Any suggestions regarding omissions, errors or corrections will be welcomed. 

2. BACKGROUND TO THE BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN PROCESS 

2.1 The UK Biodiversity Action Plan 

In June 1992, 159 governments signed the Convention on Biological Diversity at the famous 

“Earth Summit” in Rio de Janeiro. The Convention came into force on 29 December 1993 and 

was the first international treaty to provide a legal framework for biodiversity conservation. 

Amongst other measures, it called for the development and implementation of national strategies 

and action plans to conserve and enhance biological diversity. 

In 1993, the UK government consulted with over 300 organisations throughout the UK and also 

organised a two-day seminar to debate the key issues raised at the Earth Summit. From this was 

launched Biodiversity: the UK Action Plan in 1994. The report identified 59 broad activities for 

conservation work to take place over the next 20 years. 

A steering group was created to take the work forward, which established the following principles 

for future biodiversity conservation in the UK: 

Partnership: The Biodiversity Action Plan should be based on the mutual co-operation of 

statutory, voluntary, academic and business sectors at both national and local levels. 

Targets: The BAP should establish measurable outcomes that address the needs of species and 

habitats of most concern to biodiversity conservation. 

1

Policy Integration: The BAP should recognise that shifts in policy are needed to reverse the 

decline in the UK biodiversity resource and to support sustainable development in all sectors of 

society. 

Information: While sound science and knowledge should underpin decisions, the BAP should 

recognise that new approaches are required to fill information gaps and to manage the information 

already available more efficiently. 

Public Awareness: Public understanding and action are required to support the changes needed 

to maintain biodiversity. 

In 1995, a report entitled Biodiversity: The UK Steering Group Report was published. This 

contained action plans to conserve 116 species and 14 habitats, together with recommendations 

for future biodiversity action plans (rising to 577 species). 

2.2. The New List of UK Priority Species and Habitats 

In July 2007, the revised UK List of Priority Species and Habitats was released. The new list was 

developed on the basis of a detailed review process, involving over 500 experts and based on the 

following criteria: 

• International threat 

• International responsibility plus moderate decline in the UK 

• Marked decline in the UK 

• Other important factors – where quantitative data on decline were inadequate but there was 

convincing evidence of extreme threat. 

Only species which met one or more of these criteria were included. The final list contains 1,149 

species and 65 habitats, many of which are relevant to Norfolk. Further information about the 

national habitat and species review can be found on the UK Biodiversity Action Plan website, at: 

http://www.ukbap.org.uk/bapgrouppage.aspx?id=112 

2.3 The Norfolk Biodiversity Action Plan 

In order for national priorities and targets to be met, the UK BAP Partnership considers it essential 

that action be taken at a local level. To address this need, the Norfolk Biodiversity Partnership 

was created in 1996, composed of local authorities, statutory agencies and non-governmental 

groups. The Partnership has now prepared 50 Species Action Plans and 19 Habitat Action Plans, 

addressing some of the key priorities in Norfolk; additional plans will continue to be published in 

response to the new list of priority species, based on the results of the current audit. Further 

information can be found on the Norfolk biodiversity website: http://www.norfolkbiodiversity.org/ 

3. METHODOLOGY OF THE BAP SPECIES AUDIT 

As the first step in determining which of the species on the new and expanded BAP list currently 

occur (or historically occurred) in Norfolk, all the records currently held on the NBIS database 

(approximately 850,000) were queried, using the software programme Recorder 6. This led to an 

initial, draft list of the BAP species for which there are records in Norfolk. 

As the next step, this draft list was refined by carrying out extensive literature reviews, drawing in 

particular upon the information contained in The Birds of Norfolk, A Flora of Norfolk, and reports 

2

y the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists’ Society. Specialist input was also sought from the 

recording community. 

4. RESULTS 

The results of the audit to date are presented in the tables in Annexes 1-10. A brief analysis of the 

tables suggests that: 

• The total number of BAP species occurring in Norfolk is 419, which represents 36 per cent of 

the national list; 

• Eighty-eight per cent of the species on the national bird list have been recorded in Norfolk, 

highlighting the importance of the county for both resident and migrant species. In addition, 59 

per cent of the moth species found on the national list have been recorded in Norfolk. Many of 

these are quite common, indicating the potential importance of the county for holding key 

source populations; 

• The number of BAP species that are now considered extinct in the county, and in some cases 

nationally, is 72. This number consists primarily of beetle species (24) and vascular plants 

(30). Analysis of the data reveals that, of the BAP species, beetles have lost 63 per cent of the 

species formerly resident in Norfolk, and there has also been a 41 per cent loss in the number 

of vascular plant species. Freshwater fish have lost 50 per cent of formerly resident BAP 

species; however, this figure includes the burbot and sturgeon, both of which have been 

nationally extinct for some years; 

• There are 43 BAP species for which the current status is unknown. This is primarily a function 

of the lack of recent records for species that were known to occur in Norfolk in the past. To 

address this issue, it may be necessary to target surveys for these species, in former locations 

and likely habitat areas. 

On the basis of these results, it is evident that Norfolk is a particularly important county for the 

conservation of BAP species and the achievement of BAP targets. 

5. CONCLUSIONS AND PRIORITIES FOR THE FUTURE 

This audit of BAP species has provided a wealth of information which should be of help not only to 

the BAP process in the county, but also to planners, naturalists, researchers and environmental 

managers. However, the audit has also highlighted the fact that many records are old or historic. 

Whilst these are always interesting for comparative or historical investigation purposes, modern 

records (

“Common” species that have not to date been deemed worthy of recording, such as house 

sparrow and starling. 

As NBIS’s staff complement is strengthened in the future, it is hoped that an increasing amount of 

time can be spent in addressing these information requirements, by working with local recorders, 

initiating surveys of poorly covered species and conducting extensive literature searches.

Old county records only (c. 1800) but possible confusion with 

P.bipustulatus. Considered extinct in Norfolk. 

Marked decline in UK - Lack of grazing on wet pasture or dune 

slacks leading to growth of scrub or coarse grassland. 

Formerly found on Mousehold Heath (1883) and Edgefield

Holkham and Titchwell. 

Found under seaweed, driftwood and strandline litter, primarily 

on saltmarshes.

The serious declines of the 1950s-1970s have been arrested 

with protection and improved water quality. Numbers slowly 

recovering. Lack of records Norfolk/Suffolk border and Tas 

Valley. Data transfer from NWT this year. Norfolk Action Plan

P 693 284 Small number of records annually indicate that with concerted 

attention this species may be widespread but under-recorded 


P? 6 1 Six old records, with a possible sighting in 2006. Small captive 

breeding program in the county, supporting the suggestion of 

reintroduction in the future. 

P? 2 1 Currently recolonising parts of lowland Britain from which it 

was trapped to extinction at the end of the 19thC. 


Has declined in Britain owing to modern intensive agricultural 

practices with loss of suitable feeding habitat (permanent 

pasture and woodland edge/hedgerows rich in invertebrate 

fauna. Loss of suitable trees for roosting is also a major factor.
