House Sparrow, Canada Goose and Orange Ladybird seen, but not in the right square!!! Reckon I'll claw them back soon enough, lol. Orders seen so far are mammals, birds, amphibians, beetles, bugs, arachnids, molluscs, algae, lichen, mosses, liverworts, fungi, moths, woodlice and centipedes. I'm not counting galls unless I can ID the occupant (which may be different from the causer) or mines unless tenanted. No dead stuff either, but I'm happy to count birds on calls only. These are just my own rules for the challenge, I'll doubtless refine/add to them as time goes on. Anyway, the weather was lovely and good fun was had. So ends Day 1. I'm provisionally booked in for a few days in Dorset next weekend so it'll be a couple of weeks before I can get back into my square again. Guess I'll be playing catch-up pretty soon!!!<br /> Gibsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699055561230102061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666457738678091444.post-62651007196695281952013-01-01T13:14:48.493+00:002013-01-01T13:14:48.493+00:00Half-time break from wandering TQ1960. Thrown outt...Half-time break from wandering TQ1960. Thrown outta the pub (which is very handily situated within the square) at about 1:30am with coot, mute swan and a 4 plants already on the list. Went to bed around 3am. Woke up sometime later and bleerily wandered around Epsom Common. Back indoors by 1300, tally is in the 130s. Had some grub, had a shite, feeling better already. Second half beckons.

Slow Worm appears absent? Amphibians are Common Frog, Common Toad, Smooth Newt and Great-crested Newt. Seriously wanting New Year's Day to be full of good weather!!! :D Gibsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061940722277306229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666457738678091444.post-46109105201561187942012-12-29T17:09:30.264+00:002012-12-29T17:09:30.264+00:0029 Dec - almost there!

Mammal-wise I know both Harvest Mouse and Dormouse occur although both would be lifers for me. I'm hoping to befriend someone with a decent bat detector and tag along on a few small mammal trapping sessions. I hope to hit 20 mammal species during 2013.
