A long overdue list update
Posted by Graeme Lyons , Saturday, 27 April 2013 17:26
I can't believe it's been nearly a year since I did this last. A recent resurgence in activity has spurred me on to pull this all together, as have a few comments from friends that I'm no longer listing. How wrong they are. So between 1st June 2012 and the 27th April 2013 I have added 223 species putting me on 4222 species. It would seem I have been ousted out of the top ten into 11th place. Anyway, lots going with surveys at Filsham and Old Lodge this year. Highlights this week were an Oodes helopioides I sieved out of reed litter in the fen at Filsham, a Dromius angustus that Chris Bentley found at Old Lodge and this huge female Amaurobius ferox which I found at the end of my street in Brighton. April has been a good month with three new vertebrates and dozens of invertebrates, I wonder what species 4223 will be?...
