Well done Dylan!

The maps on our website are working again 🙂
The Interactive Maps show overview data - search for a species, or click on a 1km square to see what's on the database.
The Species Mapping shows the records either at 1km level or 100m level.
By-the-wind Sailor ~Velella velella~ a fascinating animal. BRERC has one record - a mass stranding at Weston-super-Mare in 2004. Worth looking for after stormy weather
Have you recorded wildlife?
An MSc student at Leeds Uni is interested in understanding how biological recording and biological recorders contribute to conservation - survey link here: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/taGxQK7Adg
Dryad's Saddle ~Polyporus squamosus~ is a parasitic bracket fungus. New growth appears in spring and autumn and it won't persist much longer
The interactive maps on our website aren't working due to maintenance + restructuring. It'll take a while to complete but will improve the website + other services.
We apologise for any inconvenience + hope it won't deter you from submitting records.
We're processing + making data available as usual
BRERC attended the first Wild Summit in Bristol last week. Important to get together with all sorts of people and environmental organisations to learn, debate and plan how to reverse nature's decline.
