Until then today's sunshine saw Coltsfoot in flower, flies all over, A jumping spider, and lots of spring feeling. Hoorah!

If you keep going at this rate Ali you'll smash the record. However, I'm still waiting patiently for the insects to get going. Roll on May...
ReplyDeleteMoorhen - complete Skye mega, would love one of those over here (I ain't kiddin!) Bravo on 550, it was warm here too today, but I was out of my square so missed any action. Brilliant total, I have to ask...do you plan to hit 1000 inside of the first half of the year??? :)
ReplyDeleteTim, if that's you on slow insects I'm excited to see full on insects
ReplyDelete!
Seth, only on Skye!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Ali can get 1000 in the first six months and then the main target would be 1408 (to beat the web host)within a year.
ReplyDeleteDon't be daft, at the rate you folks are going the only question is how many pass 2000, or even 3000. The only real question is whether you're bloody-minded enough to keep going til 31st Dec...
ReplyDeleteI fear Ali has already succumbed to the Muzza Madness, Tim is clearly exhibiting early symptoms too. It's only me 'n Pete keeping it real this year ;)
ReplyDeleteI anticipate c.100 spp / month and falling behind Andy's progress by end June. Or 150/month and reaching the 1000. Doesn't seem entirely unreasonable but 5 spp/day average over three months is possibly a stretch
