We want to know what species are present in our parish and where they are. To find out, we will be doing some organised surveys, but also we want to encourage everyone to record what they see.
We have chosen 20 species that we are especially interested in knowing more about and we are making the reporting of these as easy as possible.
We are offering two methods for reporting sightings. The easiest, which can be used for our ’20 Selected Species’ is via our website form below
The other method is via iRecord which requires more detail but goes directly to a national biological recording system that we can retrieve data from - but you’ll need to add our activity code when you fill in the form.
wildflower project
During the summer of 2021, SSWCG and many volunteers surveyed the wildflowers found on eight sites around the parish. The surveys were carried out on a fortnightly basis and the whole programme was expertly set up and managed by David Kennedy to whom we are very grateful.
Each species was photographed and identified. The significant task of inputting all the data into iRecord is an ongoing activity.
The pdf spreadsheet is a summary of the species found and forms the basis of the same activity during 2022.
