Diario del proyecto Grounds 4 Nature (2019)

Hi All,

By request, we have extended the period within which you can make wildlife observations in your school grounds. The new final deadline is the 2nd July.

Hi All,

We're now into the last 3 days of the pilot Grounds 4 Nature BioBlitz - we hope you're all having fun discovering the wonderful wildlife in your school grounds!

Rachel and Deborah

A BIG thank you to everyone who's out there checking identifications and refining those records.

Birds are a particular passion of mine, and previous research I have done has shown that school grounds can be great for our feathered friends. Let us know what birds you have seen in your grounds during the BioBlitz week by uploading your observations to iNaturalist. Remember, although observations with a photo are particularly appreciated, a photo isn't essential.

The sun is out and we already have over 100 species and nearly 300 observations! I wonder if any schools are going to try and add more school ground sightings over the weekend?

Hi Everyone!

Day 1 of Grounds 4 Nature is now at an end and we're already getting some great observations coming through! We hope everyone who has started is enjoying themselves, and we hope everyone who is soon to start is excited about the discoveries you're going to make in your school grounds!

Happy exploring!
