I'm glad to see that #Sheffield recorded more records than both #Manchester and #Nottingham in the #BioBlitz I did... but 681 different species feels disappointingly low... if only I knew an insect expert... who could take good photos... I'm sure we could increase that number...

EWT emailed to remind me about the Essex Bioblitz yesterday, so I'm passing the message on. I think several of the wildlife trusts do something similar.

Not that I needed another excuse to fill my phone with pictures of random wildflowers.

The Essex BioBlitz | Essex Wildlife Trust

Spot wildflowers in Essex to help climate change research.

On May 23rd, #Cultiva hosted a special citizen science event in the form of a #BioBlitz, in partnership with #TAGIS – the Portuguese Butterfly Conservation Centre. Participants came together to observe, record and identify the diversity of insects and butterflies found on the site, with the support of experts.

This initiative not only helped to enhance knowledge of local biodiversity, but also strengthened the community’s connection with the natural world around them.

No dia 23 de maio, a #Cultiva recebeu uma atividade especial de ciência cidadã em formato #BioBlitz, em parceria com a #TAGIS – Centro de Conservação das Borboletas de Portugal. Os participantes juntaram-se para observar, registar e identificar a diversidade de insetos e borboletas presentes no espaço, com o apoio de especialistas.

Esta ação permitiu não só contribuir para resforçar o conhecimento da biodiversidade local, mas também fortalecer a ligação da comunidade à natureza que a rodeia.

For those of you who wanted to know how #Sheffield @[email protected] #BioBlitz went... 205 people recorded over 4000 records... and 681 different species were recorded... I wonder if we beat #Manchester... and what the worldwide species total was...
