My list is currently lodging at 342 species, with a few new plants today, although too cold for much in the way of flying insects. The small annual species like thale cress are now flowering, and whitlow grass is already going over. I thought it might be interesting to break down thre 342 into species groups. I'm sure everyone has their own specialism, mine being plants, birds and moths, so I reckon my list is probably already biased in that direction:
Amphibian - 3
Bird - 70
Bristletail - 1
Bryophyte - 16
Diptera - 2
Fish - 3
Fungi - 1
Hymenoptera - 10
Lacewing - 1
Lepidoptera - 34
Lichens - 7
Mammal - 6
Earwig - 1
Mollusc - 10
Spider - 7
Vascular plant - 166
Woodlouse - 2
Worm - 1
Of course, to get to 1000 species, I will have to make further serious forays into groups I know very little about. That's just fine. That is what I want to get from this challenge, more breadth!
