Eype SY 44 91, first 2018 visit

I spent 5 hours yesterday walking the beach and various footpaths of the square. In total I recorded 104 species which was a fairly good start to the year by my standards.
Totals were; Higher plants 70, Bryrophytes 4, Lichens 6, Birds 22 and mammals 2.

Although I have walked around the square many times over the years I have previously only recorded birds and higher plants in it. This has made it a bit difficult to project species group targets for the square but the following table is my attempt at doing so.

Lichens	30
Fungi	100
Bryrophytes	15
Plants	250
Molluscs	40
Annelid worms	10
